I picked this up and I have 2 concerns. First is the blade is the wrong blade and measures 4.5” in diameter.  
 

My second concern is the fan rotates CCW. 

It is AC/DC motor. It runs fine, but I am wondering if all Type D fans rotate CCW or has someone messed up the wiring. The brushes are worn, and it smells like an old electric railroad engine. 
I appreciate all replies 👌

Blades should turn clockwise. Perhaps reversed the stator to accommodate the substitute?IMG_8207.thumb.jpeg.3761fc5c1637c9e9df8803792ad7e53f.jpeg

Switch the brush connections. That is what the previous owner did when he put the replacement blade on.
