Original steel fan blades can come apart. Reproduction aluminum ones don't. The tapered pulley is what holds it on for the most part. The cotter pin in the shaft is more than enough to hold the fan in place after tightening.

Thanks for the feedback, but all I know is that the fan on my car was aluminum, and it eventually worked loose and galled out the taper to the point that the fan was definitely loose, which is why I had it replaced a couple of years ago. I checked the fan several months prior, and it was tight. So, I’m taking the Model A mechanic’s warning about loose aluminum fans seriously. They can loosen.
