I'm anticipating a hot summer this year. Last year I cooked in the Cushman,<br>especially when the Thermostatic radiator fan came on. All the hot air that was<br>pulled thru the radiator ended up under my Butt. Insulation helped somewhat, but<br>
for this Summer I installed a 'pusher' fan<br>to cool the radiator AND push the hot air to the outside. I first reversed the<br>fan wires to make the fan reverse direction(not all DC motors will work this<br>way), but the 'pitch' of the fan blade was such that there was barely any air<br>
going thru the radiator(and the fan blade was not removeable on mine) </div><div class="msgarea entry-content" style="clear:both;padding-top:0px;padding-right:4px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:4px;margin-top:15px;margin-right:15px;margin-bottom:15px;margin-left:15px">
So, I got this fan on ebay<br><br><a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/251205927807?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649" style="text-decoration:none;color:rgb(36,124,212)">http://www.ebay.com/itm/251205927807?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m143\<br>
9.l2649</a><br><br>for $22 including freight. Its advertised as reversible rotation and reversible<br>blades(push and pull). I made some plates to mount the new fan in the existing<br>holes for the original fan.<br>3" X 10" aluminum 1/8" thick was what I had laying around, and that worked<br>
great.<br>First I drilled & attached these plates to the radiator using the original fan-holes, then held new fan in place and marked and drilled holes. Mounted the new fan & wired it up, and it blows!<br>(that is, it accomplished the desired effect) The fan seems to be on<br>
approximately the same amount of time as the original (In hind-sight I shudda<br>put a stopwatch on it to compare scientifically, but that's not how I roll :)<br>I'll try to post some pics on the S.L.C. website<br>
With the new fan came some mounting hardware-sorta like cable ties that you<br>mount thru the radiator core. I'm not a fan(no pun) of this procedure so I<br>fabbed the plates.<br></div></td></tr></tbody></table><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Georgia"><br>
