Hey folks. I've been looking for the wrong thing. I need a Ford part Number 73-8600 fan which has a 4 1/8" hub. I was going by what is on a 60HP at the V8 museum and several 60s I've inquired about on eBay. As I like to say, I'm often wrong but never in doubt. LOL I have also been corrected on end plates on starters and generators. I have been educated once again by the experts. End plates are black, not raw aluminum as I had thought. Live and learn.

The end plates you see that are not painted are more often than not NOS. Those were not painted. I believe many guys thank that as they are free of paint and NOS that's the way they came on the car from the assembly line.

Lawson, What year and model 60HP Ford are you trying to reproduce?

Bill: The engine I am restoring is a 39 with the accessory/special commercial transmission attached so it came in a commercial vehicle in all likelihood. Lawson

The fan I need is a 4 blade. The one currently listed on ebay is not a 60HP fan. Just damn.
