The fan hub looks to be the 26-7 version for the two row radiators. It's use would be limited unless you're running a narrow core radiator.

The bracket is earlier than 26-27. The 'improved car' bracket is built into the upper water outlet attached to the head.

Possible non-Ford. Any markings? The 1917-1925 bracket is straight, not curved. This one also doesn't have the 1909-1914 spring nob at the fan end, nor the 1909-1916 dog-leg curve near the hub.

It's a Ford fan arm ('17-'25) that was bent rearward to make clearance for the extended fan hub pulley.

I found T6756 stamped on the bracket on one side and DB stamped on the other.

How's about a side shot ? Bummer if someone molested a DB (early) fan arm bracket !

Steve I'll take a couple more pics tonight. It came with an engine I bought for a speedster project I've been dreaming about. Model T's are really addicting! James

Yes, they are - I tell my customers to "Beware, these damn things are like rabbits - all of a sudden, you have more than one in the garage" !

Steve, seriously? Is that where that other one came from? And to think all this time I wanted to blame it on a strong desire to never be without one to drive.

The marking on your fan arm "CH", a C over the H is Cleveland Hardware I believe.
