Paul Carmody Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 (edited) I got this fan for the neck pivot for another Westinghouse.Also It had 4 brass nuts.As it turns out it’s a centrifugal start with brass bearing housings.I sprayed electrical cleaner through it,and have been soaking it in Sea Foam penetrant for a couple of months including the bearings.Believe it or not it looks better now.The speed coil is gone.And everything but the stump.

Paul Carmody Posted April 7, 2023 Author Share Posted April 7, 2023 (edited) It had continuity so I snipped most the frayed and exposed wire from the switch,put a blade laying around,jumper wire,grit my teeth.This is the original fire up.Thankfully not that kind of 🔥.You can hear the click when I turn it off.Watch the spin down time!And to my surprise it started without a push start?The centrifugal can be heard at the end.

Paul Carmody Posted April 7, 2023 Author Share Posted April 7, 2023 I don’t have a speed coil laying around for a centrifugal so I suppose I’m still going ahead with plan.I don’t want to get in the parts fan for parts fan trap again.

Lane Shirey Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 What’s the model number? I have a couple of stamped centrifugal stumps. Might have a switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have a switch. It’s a 162628 Lane.Small date 1915. That would be great!The other fan is a later 19 early 20s.I would rather fix this one.I do have a cage ,and the blade that I put on from another burned out fan.The burned out fan is an oscillator is why I couldn’t use the neck pivot.I sure would be willing to purchase it.
