Paul Stefaniak Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 I have inherited this fan and would like to know how to remove the blade. The cage has 3 bolts holding it on. The fan runs but it seems like it's the same speed and all the settings. The blade vibrates and it out of shape. Any help would be appreciated. I believe its a 1948 model. ( has a 28 in bottom right hand corner of tag) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Behrend Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 Facing the fan, the blade unscrews to the right. You will have to take the bullet cover off the rear of the fan and possibly the gearbox. Now you will have to lock the rotor which the blade screws onto. There might be a hole in the back to stick a screwdriver thru to lock the rotor as you turn the blade to the right. Do not hit your windings. If this doesn’t work get a 3” bolt the same dia as the bolts you took off the gearbox and run it thru one of the threaded gearbox holes until you can stop the blades from turning. Good luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What Mark said but it needs to be a grade 8 hardened bolt. And heat the hub with a heat gun. If you torque the blades too much you can bend them or loosen up the hub crimp. All of the questions you ask have been covered MANY times in the past. That’s likely why you did not get replies. Always best to search your questions first then ask if only you don’t find it.
