OK, by what means does grit leave an ungreased bearing? I'm wrong? Zero bearing failures on my equipment, multiple failures on yours..... Marty AB5GU In a message dated 5/18/2010 10:56:45 A.M. Centra
Keeping in mind that none of my arrays are over 300 lb. The last few times I changed out a rotor, it went pretty easy. 1 loosen the set screws on the thrust bearing 2 loosen the mast clamp on the rot
I took a lightning strike through my Array Solutions 10KW isolation relay box feeding my 5 band quad last night. Everything indoors fried. YMMD. Marty AB5GU __________________________________________

That winch is way too small. I have a 12 volt 8000lb wench to tilt over my 472 (double line), and it is just barely able to safely do the job. Although the 2000 lb winch might lift it into position,
You are really in for a new experience when you tie that all into your studs. I was using a front end loader to lower a 30' windmill a while back, a very light weight tower with a 150lb mill on top.
Hi Fred, The towers came with several different model motors over the years. The way to check it is to look at the tag on the side of the motor. If it is a dual voltage motor the tag will be stamped
The pan of water will dampen the movement of the plumb bob at the bottom of the string, but will not help the plumb line to remain vertical and straight in the breeze. I use a plumb line regularly at
I can confirm it. The tower has aluminum rivets a the acid dip before galvanizing will eat away the rivets. Marty _______________________________________________ _____________________________________
A reciprocating saw like a Saw-z-All would be the proper tool. One thing to keep in mind, the twisted legs are under tension and can be dangerous. When you cut through the leg, it can spring back muc
On A tower leg in tension, an angle grinder or circular saw would be about the most dangerous tools available for the job. Both are unstable and tend to hard to control. They have a very dangerous te
On the residential air conditioning in the States, single phase rules the roost. On a single phase service I can install a/c equipment that is in the 20 seer range. 3 phase only goes up to 12 seer. I
Check the Seer ratings on the 3 phase eqpt vs single phase before making so bold a statement. Marty AB5GU _______________________________________________ _____________________________________________
As a plumbing contractor, we regularly are in a position where we need to locate a buried water or sewer pipe. Even in the old days, before all of the new electronic line locating equipment, 95% of t
Hi All, I'm piecing my station together after a major lightning strike. My Tailtwister controller took a big hit, but after bringing the rotor down from the tower and bench testing it, the rotor itse

I've seen several towers that had the cable break and instantly collapse the tower. Makes quite a mess out of an expensive tower, rotor and antenna. It happens! Marty AB5GU __________________________
