Baker wb Bearings

[clee2]

I just recently purchased a Baker WB windmill and I am starting to break it down to restore. I have found where I can get the bearings for head to swivel but have not been able to find any place to purchase the spacers that go between the ball bearings. Any help on tracking them down would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the forum.

Spacers between the ball bearings are not necessary. Just use all ball bearings and it will rotate fine.

We cut pieces of like 3/8 rod to make spacers. Otherwise, it takes like 33 balls. Original spacers are hollow. I suppose for the grease to pass through. every one I'ver ever seen is plugged solid. Spacers are about 1/2 in long, but not as tall as a ball is. Balls for those are 1/2 inch. Make sure your upper and lower turntable halves to not rub each other, if they do, then holler back.
