CRF857 60 #1 Posted April 3 The cooling fan on my 1277 is in sad shape. It appears to have been reshaped in the past sometime. I can reconfigure it or replace it with another fan. Does the fan draw air over the pump or push air towards and over the pump? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CRF857 60 #3 Posted April 3 (edited) Thank You. It a recent acquisition and the only Wheel Horse I currently have. Nothing to compare it with. I need to reshape the blades somewhat. Edited April 3 by CRF857 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 38,178 #4 Posted April 3 If you need them, the manuals are available in our manuals section. Your Model 1277 is ( 12) HP Kohler K301S-4712B ( 7) Sundstrand Hydro 3100077 (7) built in 1967 Used fans are available, but yours looks OK as they are easily straightened. Clamp the center bolting section to a table on a spacer and use the correct thickness block to tap all blade edges to the same shape and flat plane. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 41,118 #5 Posted April 3 Those fans are fragile and very hard to find a good one. You may find something that will work here. Just match no. of blades, diameter, center hole and rotation: https://www.rhsparts.com/Products/Fan-Blades 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
