Drako11 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Had a post up recently telling everyone about a great deal I made exchanging work for three old blowers. Got a little Buffalo Company Blower, on a stand, that works, but doesn't seem to blow to strongly. A Champion Lancaster, almost like new, without a stand that blows great. (Any ideas how to make a good sturdy stand for this?) Finally a big, geared, Champion Lancaster that has a stand, and everything is moving fine, except it is missing a little gear that allows that handle to spin the fan. So my little request is if anyone knows where I can get a gear for this or has a gear for this they are willing to trade or sell I would greatly appreciate a PM! : ) (You can see in the picture of the gear box where the little gear is missing between the two big gears.) I also broke two bolts that hold the face plate of the blower on if you have or know where to get any of those, PM! lol Also going to put up some pics of a working table I got in the deal as well.

Frosty Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Ayup, that's a score alright. Nice table and vises. Good luck on the blower gear. Frosty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
48willys Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 (edited) If you can't find the gear maybe you could make one or have one cut at a machine shop.I had a link somewhere that you can use to make a template for making gears,I'll post it here if I find it. Found it,It's for making wooden gears but I don't think the blower is that tight that you can't file the teeth to mesh right.http://woodgears.ca/gear_cutting/template.html Edited August 18, 2009 by 48willys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 I'd see if a local vo-tech has a machining class that might take on that project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Svarog Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 The place I am using for blower gears is SmallParts.com: The Hardware Store for Researchers and Developers I had to replace the large spur gear on my Champion blower and a few gears on some of my Canedy blowers as well. The gears from this place might need to have the hub ground down to fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pac Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 You could also try Championfancorp Fan Repair, Rebuild, or Replacement Champion Fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
