Kevin Lee Clark Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 (edited) Found this several years ago after leaving Geoff's Old Fan Workshop. Original motor was stamped steel/pot metal and had disintigrated. My guess is that it was originally in a chicken house or something similar. I added a rheostat to make it variable speed. I've still got to balance the blade and get the thrust washers right. Edited October 13, 2022 by Kevin Lee Clark spelling 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stan Adams Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 I have an Emerson early 77648 pole mount which came from a grocery store. That mount was designed to mount on a cast iron or steel support pole, the same size as the old building I work in. Strangely it is one speed with a pull chain & the choke is simply for the start windings. SWEET FAN! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
