Jack,
Could you maybe, kinda, sorta help us in the 'my fan don't fit cuz I gotta
235 in where a 216 was blues club' by telling us what brand name of
aftermarket six bladed fan that you used? I for one would really enjoy that
information.
My 51 1/2 ton had a 235 in it when I bought it. Later my four bladed fan
became a three bladed one because of metal fatigue. I obtained another
original fan and then realized that the previous owner had flattened the fan
out with a hammer. Soon after that my water pump took a vacation and never
returned, probably because of the unbalanced fan that experienced metal
fatigue. I have had no luck finding a fan that would fit without doing some
quasi major modifications to it.
