A year or so ago I scrounged one of those big 4' shop fans that stand
up on a pedestal and blow huge amounts of air around the shop. Didn't
have the stand, the switch was broken and the bearings sounded like a
coffee can full of rocks..but it blew air well enough. Summer is again
upon me..its been 90F for the last week or two..so its time to fix er
up. Two 5/32 setscrews hold the fan blade to the shaft, so they got
to bet loosened to take the blade off.

Another fine example of the "Gunner Factor". Lower your expectations,
embrace the horror!

true!
he'll eventually end up with a workshop full of chopped up mangled fan
then realise that to get new bearings into it you also need to get a
new fan around them.

it was a funny read though.
