OK, you win, I'll drop the price! 55 bucks apiece, you pay the freight! No broken fins, no cracks, no no. I'll make sure yours is marked for your particular engine.

Cap'n Great price! Possibly a majority of these have broken fins from using a pry bar to turn the engine. Another balance issue is if they have been disassembled to paint. Brad Mayeur
Yikes! We're not supposed to paint them? Uh oh... What if it was never disassembled but just shot with rustoleum?
It's OK to paint them. The balance problem comes into play when they're disassembled (to bead blast, etc). The pulley and fan units are balanced as a unit and if taken apart, everything must be put back together in the same exact position.

OK. It's nearly the end of the year, and I need this thing to go away. I can't believe nobody here needs a good, unbroken, engine fan. Help me get the barn cleaned out!

Sold, paid for, and shipped! Thanks! The Cap'n
Came across another one! It's early, takes the triple square bolts. Dirty but intact. $55 and shipping. I DO NOT have the bolts!
Thanks Bruce. When I originally took it apart, that was my initial thought. The fan I took apart had melted plastic, oxidation and rust. So I figured it just would never work correctly like that. I needed to separate the parts to clean it up. I just always assumed there would be shops that can balance them again. I don't know about shops that drill holes in them though. I guess when the time comes, I'll have to choose carefully and ask a lot of questions.
Any good machine shop should be able to balance a fan.
ONE left!
