@great.plains.windmills: First spin on a rebuilt, 8’ Aeromotor gearbox. #foryoupage #fyp #windmill #farm #viral

MOUNTAIN MAN :

That’s great, but where’s the lid to keep the rain water out of that?

chuckcopp :

There’s no lid? What if it rains? Wouldn’t it fill up with water?

pieces xr :

In a classic water-pumping windmill gearbox like the one shown, there are two distinct ways liquid exits the system depending on whether you mean rainwater/condensation or the actual well water being pumped. 1. In the Gearbox Assembly (Rainwater & Excess Fluid) The metal housing (snout) where the main wheel shaft enters the gearbox is designed with a specific drainage slot or weep hole at the bottom front. The Mechanism: Windmills are exposed to the elements. Rainwater that blows past the hub or condensation that forms inside the housing trickles downward. The Exit: A built-in drainage channel or hole at the lowest point of the front housing allows this water to weep out before it can build up, mix with the oil reservoir, or rust the gears.
