If the fan blade assembly is in good track & balance, it will definitely last longer. The early generators had two bearings in the front. Somewhere in 1936 they went to single double row bearing. That tells you a lot about how Ford handled it back then. Most alternators just have a single row ball bearing but they don't generally have a large fan on there either. They just have the dinky little cooling fan that they all come with.
