[RE-wrenches] Stuck in a furl

[Mac Lewis]

 Hello wrenches,

I have a client with an older Whisper 200, 1 kW wind turbine.  We didn't
install this but have taken over the site maintenance since the original
installer left town.  The site recently experienced prolonged relatively
high winds for 3-4 days.  After that, he went out and noticed that the tail
is stuck in the side-furling position.






  I'm not very familiar with this turbine or wind turbines in general, but
looking at a manual, it looks like we may need a new bushing or maybe even
a new casting.  Does anyone have any idea where I could order parts for
this turbine?  Is there a suitable replacement turbine we should be looking
at?  At last check, the turbine was putting out good power and passed all
electrical checks.

Thanks in advance for your expertise
