same pulley that was used when it was used in the Heat/AC duct and works fine.

What RPM did the electric motor run at and what size pulley did it have? Cage blowers like this are designed for higher volume at lower pressures with low-ish RPM.

Lots of electric motors run at ~1,800 RPM vs. the ~3,000 RPM of that Onan

You’ll need to do the math to decide if it’s being overdriven.

The motor on the blower was an eighteen hundred RPM unit with about a five or six inch pulley so the fan speed is close to the same now. I understand that if you run these squirrel cage fans at too many RPMs you generate turbulence and reduce the air flow. Mine does a great job as it is set up.

can’t believe she’s been married to this weirdo for over thirty years!! 

were all weird in our own ways, I would do the same thing if my tractors looked that nice, now many hours of buffing do you have into those or why do they shine so nice, I don't have the patience to do them right

I restored the Work Horse (I bought new in 1984) and the C-175, but the LSE is 100% original. I just wax them occasionally. Thanks for asking!

Took me a minute to figure out what was wrong in that picture: there is only one tractor in the bed of your truck! :rolleyes:

I’m not sure if I could get another in there with that Xi!  It’s massive!
