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
