Vintage Windmill and Wind Generator Forum

Mike, I considered that but bearing material is hard as a rock. More than I want to deal with.

Does anyone have a source for a thrust bearing like this? It is 1.125 I.D. and about 3.00 O.D. I have searched the internet with no luck. I can find one, but with 1.750 O.D.

Nice job! Looks professional.

Just painted the last coat of spray paint on these parts. Now they will all get a coat of brush paint.

Bob, no problem. I agree with Dan. People are using the tariffs to price gouge.

Happy Birthday Joe, hope you had a good day.

Thanks Tim. I actually have bought from them for the other parts for this mill. And yes, they are very reasonable.

I considered making bronze bushings for the pitman arm but had the babbit and decided to pour them instead. See pic.

Thank you Paul for keeping this forum up and running.

Thanks guys. Looks like it will be on hold for a while. There is rain in the forecast all next week.
