8BA Fan hub information needed
Would anyone know what year this Ford flathead fan hub assembly is from?
The one pictured is the last one I have I'm looking for another but have no idea what year or vehicle it was used on. The three blade fan is riveted to the metal flange and it has a narrow belt pulley. I like this type over the cast iron version that has a bolt on four blade fan hub and the pulley all cast as one part. I have a few of the cast type but they wont work for my latest project. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Ronnieroadster

Re: 8BA Fan hub information needed
Found this pic in one of my albums. Not sure if it is exactly what you are looking for as it seems the belt is wide, but when I Google that P/N (8600), this thread popped up. Still no answer as to year, but someone here will surely chime it.

The wide belt fan assembly was used in the 1948 to 1953 trucks. The thin belt fan assembly was used in the passenger vehicles from 1949 to 1953.

Re: 8BA Fan hub information needed
The four blade wide belt fan is '49 only. The three blade narrow belt fan is '50-'51. I am not sure if it continued unchanged to '52-'53.

My brothers 53 custom has that same fan assembly on its EAB V8. I always wonder what a guy should do when the bearing starts making noise. Tim

Re: 8BA Fan hub information needed
Replace it. It is a common water pump bearing (NSK 885586) that should be readily available (at least they were a few years ago). The shaft has to be shortened and it is best if you have a press, although I did it once with a big vise.
