Yes it will fit, but is a governor for a stationary power unit or any other unit that must have a controlled speed.

Looks un-usable IMO.

The alum. pulley is the earlier style, in poor condition, those have the deep flange, the later have more crown and shallow flanges. The arm would be correct.

But the rest is junk, non-stock fan. An unknown bolt running thru the pulley, likely the fan shaft is worn or missing.

You would want to replace it with new, poor fan blades are an accident waiting to happen.

The correct '25 fan blade is the wide one on the right. Used '25-'27.

Jim is correct. It is a governor fan. Used on stationary engines or maybe a tractor conversion. They are desirable to people making model T stationary engines.

Isn't that backwards about the flanges? The fan hubs that have shorter flanges have the number T603 and the hubs with the taller/deeper flange are T-603B. The earlier hubs had the B suffix and the later ones did not? I had always thought that the earlier ones were the hubs with the shorter flanges.

Same hub as above, I just didn't have a picture of it with the part number.

Yes. That would be correct.

DIdn't take time to fact check, was on memory mode, which is in this non social contact time has my mind in quarantine :shock:

The deep flange is the later B suffix, and the last 1926-'27 long hub for the thin row radiator also has that deep flange.

Thanks for everyones help. Bought the T about a year ago, have just started working on it. Fan was in a box with other spare parts. Couldn't find any good pictures on line so thanks for all the info.

How true! More than one model T'er has experienced that to occur, sometimes kills the radiator, sometimes the hood, but oh oh if you have the hood up and rev her up while watching :shock:

Rich captured this so fine :lol:
