Dayton 12' Late Teens Type 67 Stator & Switch

[Russ Huber]

Basket weave wind shaded pole motor. When I broke it down, I went "what to hell?" 🙂

Two of the motor starting shades.

Switch with arrowed head cord connections. This fan assembled is a beast. It is heavy.

This fan I would not recommend to a rookie to start learning restoration.  What is strange is obviously not a lot of members own or have dug into one. If you have, please feel free to post your restoration. 🙂

That is a very unusual motor design. A "head scratcher", to be sure.

Even more interesting is removing the die cast pot metal pivot on these models. I get an "E" for effort, but it is not coming out, and I have to work around it painting it. The risk is to high damaging it.

I am amazed the fan aside from having to reproduce the pot metal gearbox cover is intact and fully functional. The motor is cast iron and a beast. The entire gearbox and pivot are die cast alloy.

FYI, if you end up needing a pivot neck I've got these made up in aluminum. I since learned they fit a lot more than just the 10" fans. The one I copied was from a 10"

Seth's Pivot installed in a Dayton Type 367 for future restoration.

I appreciate Mark resurrecting this post. I made a second daring attempt to remove the pivot this time with a drift punch and got it out. As you can see the plug has a slotted end inside which gave me the impression it was threaded in. I inserted a drift punch wide enough to clear the threaded hole and gave it a couple hard whacks and out she came. Seth's pivot could be made to work on this earlier Dayton type 67 12" model, but as you can see it is a different animal. 

I am thrilled it came apart intact.

@Russ Huber Looks like it may need a different style center locking cylinder. Anything else? If it's a needed part, a different version could be made quite easily.

Thanks, Seth. Actually, the original center locking cylinder is intact, as are all the components related to the pivot. What I failed to do in trying to remove the pivot locking cylinder from the base in my first attempt was to try driving it out forcefully with a drift punch. Thankfully that worked without regret.

In past I posted asking how to get the pivot out. There obviously are so few of these models that survived a fractured pivot or gearbox nobody came forward. I called David Cherry, and he came forward on the post as he restored a 6-wing model like it, and he could not recall how he got the pivot free.
