Re: Dandy Irrigator
The step plate is what the leg of the gear box rests on so it can rotate. Most other companies have storm stays or truing spiders that the leg of the mill goes through. I guess Challenge chose to call it that because it is a different setup than other mills.

Re: What model Areomotor it or parts available
Your probably better off getting another tower wether it be used or new those corner angles are very hard to straighten. As far as the mill it depends on alot it should have new bearings,how worn are the gears, did the hub break when it fell, also the wheel will need some work. Tough call !!

Re: Aermotor - New vs Refurbished
Just make sure the seller who is selling the rebuilt 702 is honest and reliable and willing to guarantee the mill. There's been a few on the forum who got burned with rebuilt mills !!
