Re: WTB
That would be the small steel hub with riveted blades - I might also have some Larry.

Re: WTB
From the encyclopedia -
1917-1920 (3960)
Similar to earlier type but hub was now cast iron. In 1916 (1917 cars) the fan bracket was changed to the longer and straighter type, which was used until the 1926 models. Early production 1917 cars used a fan shroud behind the radiator but this was apparently discontinued after a short time.
1920-1925 (3961-C)
Beginning May 1, 1920 a larger aluminum hub with one-piece blade assembly (two blade pieces welded together as an assembly) began on trucks at first, then on all cars.

The past is a great place and I don't want to erase it or to regret it, but I don't want to be its prisoner either.

Re: WTB
I took two photos, a front and a back. Can't find the front. Let me know if you want me to try again. I'm not good at this stuff!

Re: WTB
Are you looking for a brass hub or steel hub Larry ? What year is it going on ?

Re: WTB
Larry wants a 1913 style blade, brass hub. Not all brass hub fan blades are the same. In 1909-12 the hump in the blade is noticeably larger, these blades are pretty rare. The one Larry is looking for is much more common.

Re: WTB
Thanks Kim - I'll take a look but tough to find a brass hub with much crown left ! I installed a new, machined brass hub from Lang's on our '14.

Re: WTB
Thanks for all the positive comments. As Kim noted, I need the type used in 1913, and is clearly shown in the above parts list. My fan hub is about the best I've seen. I cotter pin holding the fan bracket on, but somehow vibrated loose, and that's what caused this problem. I think old age has something to do with all this!

Re: WTB
Looks like the flange on the fan hub is cracked.

Re: WTB
Yes, that's the one I'm looking for! There is nothing wrong with my hub. It's just the blade that broke off. I'd buy that fan you have pictured if you would sell it.
