Wind Generator Gearbox FAILURE!

Well I had my wind generator fail this weekend! As you can see below the gearbox came apart! Looks like 2 of the 3 bolts mounting it backed out and it hung from the third for awhile before coming loose and falling to the ground. Cracked a bolt hole in the mounting disc when it fell. Blades all look ok. I think I will cut a new mounting disc from Aluminum to replace the plastic one it came with. Ordered a new motor/gearbox for it. I'll have a spare motor now at least I guess! I'll lock-tight the bolts on this one!
