James Byerly Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Trying to find manufacture date on hunter type 12 fan purchased at estate sale this morning . Also I noticed no rear oil port . Is grease from oscillator lubing rear bearing ? THANKS ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Rockwell Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Two different fans are pictured... so maybe more than one photo would help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GE fans have such an oil port but this fan is not a rebadged GE but a Hunter with pot metal body. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Steve, wasn’t totally sure but I thought I would throw it out there. I’m guessing there is no oil cup on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Stephens Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Mark, is your fan all cast iron (base and motor)? If so it is not related to the Hunter shown and I don't know if parts are similar as I have never had a Hunter like that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Byerly Posted September 12, 2022 Author Share Posted September 12, 2022 Yea, not sure what year hunter it is , but it’s hard to believe it would be made without a rear oil port . Thanks for the response ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the response ! Totally understand your point. Maybe it’s like a grease drip inside the gearbox??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Stephens Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Mark, that is a rebadged GE brass bell oscillator, a great quality fan which I think is a 1920 model and maybe the last of the Hunter rebadges and a much higher quality than the "other" one being talked about here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
