Busy, busy! Love seeing the different places and windmills. Keep up the good work.

[@OkieWindmiller]

😀 Thank you Sharon!! We love being busy!!!!!!

[@eaglebill3738]

Thanks again for another video. I wish you would have taken us up on the first windmill to show what you had to do to make it work. We didn't see what was wrong but still love your videos. Thanks!

[@OkieWindmiller]

Whoops. All it needed was to have all its hinges lubricated. since it was new, it hasn’t really gotten to run very much and stays closed, so they can get stuck and not want to open if that happens. Thank you for loving them!!!!!!!

[@stephenreese5921]

A touch of Americana! I enjoy every episode! Bye Ya’all!

[@OkieWindmiller]

Man thank you! It sure is 100%! 😀

[@kmeyer5598]

Loved that old Monitor! Have not seen that design before. Looking forward to the big fix on that mill.

[@OkieWindmiller]

So there is no video of the repair, just the overlaid pics. The mainframe of the motor allowed for me to lift the tail back into correct position, and used angle iron the full length of the pin for greater surface area, and a chain to keep it there! Also locked the tail into closed position. Should last a while! We only video about 1/10 of our work, so a lot of what we do never gets seen……….although I wish we had the time to do all the jobs on camera!!!!

[@kmeyer5598]

Good job, good to see you working on windmills.

[@OkieWindmiller]

Thank you sir!!!!

[@andrew-cm3zn]

I cut a square hole in the lid of the gearbox so I didn't have to remove the lid ,I put a door on a hinge over the hole ,it made it easy to top up with oil and inspection of the gearbox

[@OkieWindmiller]

Good idea! I might do that trick on my own, but doubt the customers want me doing that to theirs……….🤣

[@RodneyJackson-m8h]

Another great video and love to watch all of them.

[@OkieWindmiller]

[@johnsalmon2501]

Great video! Beautiful country. Thanks for making videos! Looking forward to the next one.

[@OkieWindmiller]

Thank you very much!!! Yes it is! Thank you for regularly watching us!!!!!!

[@waylonhartwell]

With a baker windmill break and our bigger windmill, I'm guessing the way you adjust that brake is you add more washers on that same rod that you ended up cutting off to push the brake harder against the blades braking surface, so the thing doesn't squeak in the middle of the night

[@OkieWindmiller]

That could do it for sure! Good eye!!!

[@JeffAten]

Good job guys, I like to watch you guys

[@OkieWindmiller]

Thank you sir! 😀😀

Yes sir, that truck drinks a lot of diesel! Thank you for watching and we’re glad you’re back on line! We will have one coming soon! Thanks Jack!

[@George-rt6hl]

You know to put a twist in the furling lever. A little grease on the bind point helps. How did you fix the broken tail? Sorry we missed that. BTW, Nice to meet you.

[@OkieWindmiller]

Yep grease works good. Check out 29:16 in the video, it shows the repair that was completed on the second trip. Was nice yo meet you too!

[@johnfrantz6828]

The grease on the back of the had works lol but they make some nice real small grease guns.

Hahahaha I bet the guns work better! I can’t do ell you how many times I’ve made it to the top and it wasn’t there anymore hahahah!!!!

Grate video thanks

[@OkieWindmiller]

Thank you!!!!! 😊

[@kmeyer5598]

Liked the explanation on the bowl on the pump standard. A lot of the old standards had that similar design. Was that the expected use of the design?

[@OkieWindmiller]

I don’t think so, I believe it was mostly a place for the water to expand to if you were pumping faster than it could come out the spout. That’s my thinking anyway!!!!!😀 But, to go into a 2’ tall tank, you have to go up, so it’s pretty much mandatory unless the tank is dug in below the outlet. Thank ya buddy for commenting!

[@JerryMchenry]

look forward to your videos

[@OkieWindmiller]

Thank you buddy!!!

[@2xrpm]

I been meaning to ask, I would like to buy one of your hats. Like the logo with the cross in it. 👍

Thank you! We’re working on opening up merchandise when we hit 10K. We’re working on getting them more mass produced and more economical for you folks. Will be the same as we wear but since they’re gonna be making more at a time, price will go way down! Text your info to 405-278-1080 and I will be building a list to get you one!

You just proved (Again) how much help a third hand can be. You are so... lucky to have your wife as your third hand. I'm retired 20 years now and don't know how I could anything dun around the house without my third hand. I think God planed it that way. You all that don't know what I mean... don't worry. You will find out sooner or later.

Oh yeah! 100% sure! I could not do this without her!!!! I tell her daily!

[@SteffenReichel]

20:23 - well, WD-40 wasn't a lubricant, it was a water displacement. Today they add a little bit of greasing agent to it, but it's not a really good lubricant, and because everyone is using it, it doesn't make things better, as WD-40 is still a water displacement and corrosion preventing agent, than a good performing lubricant. Some people just need to stop using WD-40 as lubricant and use a good and proper lubricant, if lubrication is the goal... but stop using a lubricant as water displacement or rust removal agent. So WD-40 loosens bolt, prevents corrosion and helps to get rid of rust on surfaces - that is the main goal for application, not lubrication. If it comes to lubrication, one should try Ballistol Spray, Sonax SX90, 3M Multi Purpose or Jet Lube NSF; but this is just my opinion on this point.

[@OkieWindmiller]

Thank you for the info! I will look into these. Thank you for watching also!

thank you!! be safe

[@wescox2769]

Why don't you put tools, oil, little tub of grease, etc in a "working" bucket that has a snap hook (to hang the bucket up top), with a a line attached to the snap hook lift the that bucket with once you reach the top of the tower . Frees up both hands (wearing gloves ) to climb with. Put a snap hook (on the ground end) to lift another bucket for anything else you need

[@OkieWindmiller]

Because that makes too much sense!!!!😀. Seriously we have tried it, they always tip and lose tools, and get snagged on the tower on the way up/down. Would be easier if the towers weren’t tapered so much. Good suggestion tho buddy. I have become accustomed to climbing with 1 or no hands!😎

[@randywilson6869]

It’s funny (not) u put your safety belt on but did you ever hook it up?

[@OkieWindmiller]

I really do, it may not be visible, but believe me, if it’s on me, it’s getting hooked up, just because I can’t stand to have it around my neck on the way up! Whatever the rope is made of pulls my neck hair, lol. It may be either around the tower or hooked close to the tail, it it’s hooked up! 🤩

[@rickpalmer9518]

Long distance shots Ehh. Need a camera that zooms in so you can see what is going on, thanks

[@OkieWindmiller]

Yes that is a problem for sure. Usually the long distance shots are just showing the sped up version of what y’all have already seen. We don’t figure we need to keep showing and explaining how we do each step. We have actually had comments saying that, lol. Anyways, I will try to do less of that, but can’t promise it won’t be there😬😀.
