I think these are model A fans. I need to identify before I list them. They mount on a tapered shaft

Re: Fans
pg98 volume 1 of MAFCA's How To Restpre Your Model A tests 4 types of fans for cooling.
They test a 4-blade & refer to it as a truck fan. I forgot, did the A truck or AA have a 4-blade fan? |

And this is the original "How To Restore your Model A" 2nd edition from 1967 so who knows when that article is written. Great info on temperatures eg cylinder #4 running hotter. But this was way before lots of modern research so maybe there was an Urban Legend about a factory 4-blade. Green Bible is that the original Price List? Mine's from 1932, shows B-8600 for $1.10, and 18-8600 for $0.85 or about $25 in today's paper dolars. |

Re: Fans
These fans look like they are rusty and probably pitted. Fans like these that are rusty and pitted are prone to failure.
I would not list them for sale, I would use them for wall hangers to decorate your garage. My opinion, Chris W. |

Re: Fans
I believe that most engines for binders that used the Model A engines came with the 4 blade fans.
