On my 2N tractor with 8BA, I have an electric fan. To fit using the common conversion kit you have to machine the front groove off the lower pulley. Even if you extended the tractor another inch or so, you would still not have a lot of room for a mechanical fan (and the hood would require mods).
As far as electric fans, the aftermarket has some good stuff and some junk. On every electric fan conversion I have done, I have used OEM fans. They are tested to last hundreds of thousands of miles and replacement motors are available at any auto parts store in the country if needed. Now, you do have to have a good alternator to run them. This one is an early Taurus 2-speed fan. I have also used Lincoln LS, dual Corvette, dual Contour and a few others on different projects over the years. I tried a cheap aftermarket once but it didn't cool much at all.
