Wanted: Aermotor A402RA Brake
I am looking for a brake for my Aermotor A402RA. Mine broke, I may be able to have welded but would prefer to find an unbroken one. Thanks.

Re: Aermotor A402RA - Wagging Tail
Thanks Windybob, I sent you a PM and also sent Dan a PM but for some reason both are just sitting in the Outbox and never move to Sent. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Re: Aermotor A402RA - Wagging Tail
Update: I was able to find all of the pieces to the broken brake... so worst case scenario I may be able to have the part welded back together. But would prefer to find another one.

Re: Aermotor A402RA - Wagging Tail
It's possible. I went up this morning and found a couple things. There is some slop around the pin that holds the bottom of the tail, there is some slop in the rivet that holds the cast bracket onto the tail bottom rail. But I also found that my brake is in pieces. https://i.ibb.co/BTLnW7S/378851653...

Aermotor A402RA - Wagging Tail
I noticed my Aermotor A402RA tail was wagging in the breeze yesterday while the sail was stationary. I climbed up to take a look and there is a lot of grease around the lower pin that holds the tail to the mill and it looks like the cast bracket that is riveted to the tailbone had some slop in the b...

Re: A-402 tail folding when turning left to right
I don't remember exactly which bearings and washers I bought but I got them from here, you'll just need to take some measurements of the mast shaft diameter.

Replaced the pump rod this afternoon with a 12-14" rod and all is good.

Re: Pump Rod and a 2*2
One thing that always make certain part(s) of my body retract is a story about a great uncle who used to climb the windmill and slide down the wooden pump pole as a kid... until a foot long sliver happened "the last time" he did that. They must have used a round pump pole. That picture loo...

Re: A-402 tail folding when turning left to right
I remember that when I put mine together, there were issues with the same thing. I installed a partial pump rod like you did. Altho mine is not outside and does not actually spin, things just didn't fit right and seemed way too close there. I think it would work correctly if one remembered to lube ...
