Vintage Windmill and Wind Generator Forum

Come on Bob, get in the spirit. I remember a time many moons ago now, we thought it was going to be a loss to the forum and your family with the long hospital recovery. You have been a blessing to our hobby for years with many more years to come. After all, with over 15% of all posts attributed to Y...

Thank you Kenneth for the detailed reply. I am trying to build my own data base for 6, 8 and 10 foot Aermotor shafts both A602 and A702's.
From the pics I have seen you do great machine work. Take care, Tom

Very nice work Kenneth! I am curious what OD dimension did turn the new shaft and what grade of steel did you use for your replacement. Thanks for sharing, Tom
