Thank you!

Appreciate it!

Appreciate it!

Oh yeah, some of them are sketchy! That sounds like a very nice one to work on! Appreciate it!!

If you take the damaged sections off and grind and drive out the rivets on the damaged fin. You should be able to put a new fin on with bolts

@@yourlocalwellman thank you for the quick reply. Will do thanks again.

Of course, sometimes the rivets do not come out so be ready for a battle!

Thank you!

It works.

Yep, took a mass nut and welded a pipe on it, then rounded the end to make a point to help it get started as well as filled the middle so it wasn't hollow! I'll try and get a closer view of it in the next video!

Glad you like them!

Something like that you could say 🤣🤣

Hello! Yep, as long as there is no swivel rod attached to the motor, you should only have to take the mass nut out and pull it off. As far as I know, all Aermotor windmills should be the same when taking them apart!

@@yourlocalwellman Thank you. If I'm needing parts once I take it apart. Do you have any suggestions on to purchase from?

Well, that would depend on where you are based out of, I don't know a whole lot about parts on the sales part of things outside of nebraska!

They got scattered all over the place when they broke off! If you look around the rig when I'm up on the tower, you can see some of them!

I'm assuming you mean the part that sticks out of the base of the motor that you slip the spring onto from the tail. In that case, I don't see why that wouldn't work! I would try a pipe wrench on it. Probably would get it off, too!

It mainly depends on how deep the well is. Anything over 100 ft people start considering 10 ft motors for the extra pull power and less wind to start spinning! Thank you, we really appreciate it!!

Well, my best bet with a new cylinder, especially that deep, would be that they didn't get the check seated quite all the way down, or the leathers haven't spread on the new plunger, I'd first try and pick up on it if you can and drop it on the bottom a time or two and then yank up on it fast to try and spread those leathers!

Ok so just so we are on the same page. I would have to unhook the sucker rod from windmill and then hook up to the piping and drop it down a few times and yank it back up?

Yep, so make sure everything is disconnected from the windmill, and then let it drop onto bottom a couple of times to try and get the check seated down, then yank up as fast as you can to try and spread the leathers on the sides of the cylinder, might be tough to do by hand 180ft down depending if the leathers have already spread or not!

Sweet thanks man! I really appreciate your help

Of course! Let me know if that doesn't do it!

They sure are! Always refreshing to know they're still so abundant!

Thank you!

Gotta love it!

I hopefully should have a complete overhaul video up before too long!

Thanks for watching!

Trust me, there have been many failed attempts before!

Hi! And are you meaning there's a leak that you can't find?

That depends on a decent amount of variables, what size the check and plunger are, how deep the well is, and what motor head they have one but on average a 2 3/4 plunger can pump 3-5 gallons a minute on a good day

This one happened to be a rebuilt motor!

Little gears in the back went out, so the two sets weren't touching!

@@yourlocalwellman wow. How many years you reckon its been up and running?

It's hard to tell. I couldn't find a date stamp on it, but probably in the 20-25 year range if oiled properly

Thank you!!

Grow everywhere around here, always in the way!

As long as you aren't having problems with your well sticking, then yes, a chain will give you way more miles!

Thank you!

Thank you so much! I'm trying my best to keep uploading, hard to get footage and not die in the heat

We use drip oil, but any kind of thicker oil will do!

Me too!

Thank you very much!
