JFranklin Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 The pump is Model A Ford but the fan is aftermarket, maybe Pep Boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Henderson Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 It's a gennie Ford Model B fan, perhaps for '33-'34 trucks, not sure, but it was authorized as a service replacement on model A's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFranklin Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 If genuine it's a shame it is damaged. Dave what is the giveaway that it is a B fan? I have a bunch some are obvious Wizard stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Mellor NJ Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 The Model B fan has the water outlet as part of it.The 33-34 is shorter to allow for the leanback of the radiator The above is a Model A,possibly a replacement with those recessed bolt holes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Mellor NJ Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 I'm sorry, Dave although I agree with the poster that the fan is a replacement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Henderson Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Dave, by "replacement" do you mean aftermarket? I do believe the fan to be genuine Ford. It is quality made compared to those aftermarket ones sold by sources such as Pep Boys and Western Auto. In addition, the blades of the fan are absolutely identical to the blades on the early V8 Ford's generator-mounted fans which began in 1932. While the blades were the same, the hub was different, rather than having a grooved pulley like the pictured fan, the V8 application had a flange there with 4 bolt holes for bolting to the generator, on which was the pulley. Initially it had a long offset in order to clear the vertical coil on the '32's but it was subsequently shortened when the coil was changed. (The first '32 V8 fan was a 2 blade, 4 bolt hole flanged one that was replaced by the aforementioned 4 blade one early in 1932.) JFranklin, sorry I missed your question, hope this answers it.

Dave Mellor NJ Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 I thought it was an aftermarket but according to Vince Falter it was actually a Ford part brought out on the 33-34 Model 46 (commonly and erroneously referred to as the Model C) and then offered as a replacement for As and Bs.so we're both close. http://www.fordgarage.com/pages/twobladedfans.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Henderson Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 (edited) Dave, I believe Model 46 was the moniker for '33-'34 Ford Commercial trucks equipped with V8 engines, but those with 4 cylinder engines were still designated as Model B, or BB in the case of the big trucks. Correct me if I am wrong. The fordgarage reference did not acknowledge that there was another fan in late '31 with a single thickness blade, (not the Model B one), obviously because of the earlier Model A type's failure rate.

Dave Mellor NJ Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 You might be right about the 46 I thought all 33-34 V8s were Model 40. I knew about that late 31 fan with the improvement. I suppose Vince didn't feel the need to mention it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
