Fan oil

[JSeery]

That is the one I'm referring to. Fan is listed under the items that use engine oil as a lubricant. I would assume they are just using a general statement that is not specific to the model year diagram. But wasn't positive it was a 40 diagram!

Just noticed it also list brake clevis pins! The only "C" I can locate on the diagram it's self is for the distributor and generator.

This may or may not be a 40 diagram based on other post.

That one is different from the one I orginally posted, so not sure what that one is from, but it does have hydraulic brakes.

Thanks Adileo!

Thanks Adileo!

Looking close at the chart that Adileo posted, it has an arrow pointing to the fan hub that indicates "V" and I think "B". At the bottom of the chart, "V"
says to remove plug and add 1oz of Hypoid Gear Oil. No mention of motor oil. If you have a reproduction manual, they may have used that one lube cart to be included on all the early Ford manuals that they reproduce regardless of the year. Some one must have a book of the service bulletin's that will show when Ford changed to gear oil from motor oil to lube the hub.

OK, thanks adileo, it must be for the 46-48 models (maybe 41-42 as well, I have no idea on those years?). The 1940s had the fan straight off of the crankshaft and wouldn't require any type of lubricant. I'm learning a lot here! Had no idea on the switch from engine oil to gear lubricant.

I think the fans that take oil are for '42-'48 cars and '42-'52 trucks. Somebody on this site should know for sure. I'm just going from memory.

Curious cars 42-48 would that be EAB? Reason I ask is my 39 has EAB heads and based on pencil test, I thought, I had a later model engine. However, my fan does not have a place for oil.

There could be any mixture of parts on the engine. Where is the fan mounted and how is it driven (belt wise)? Ford used a lot of different fan arrangements.

Fan is on crank - one belt drives pumps and fan. It’s not a big deal estout just got me thinking..I’m pretty sure it’s a EAB but..as long as it runs well and gets me where I wanna go and back, I’m happy
