78sharpshooter Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 I picked up a 400 blower for $100 in good condition serial#573713 and was wondering how these were mounted. There is no tab for a stand but only a flange at the output. This will be the 4 th blower I have dug into (aluminum champion, smaller buffalo, and a canedy Otto) and seems to be much better built with bearings and adjustments. Also looks like someone forgot to put the P in "patented" on the side (anyone else see this) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frozenforge Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 If you look at the housing where the shaft for the fan and the bearings are there are there is a ridge running along each side. The have a clamp that has grooves that the ridges fit into. The clamp then had 3 legs that slid into it. Just google images of a champion blower and Im sure you will find some pictures of both the mounting methods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Crittenden Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Greetings I have a nice buffalo silent 200 hand crank blower on a stand . I disassembled and cleaned it . The cone and race on the pinion drive from the gearbox to the fan housing is toast . I have searched for a modern bearing to replace the old worn out set, but can't find one available in the correct I. D. And O. D. So, does anyone have a silent 200 for parts? I only need the final drive shaft ,cone and race. I may be the one with the "for parts " blower if somebody doesn't answer this. I'll send photos if you have a part you think might work .

Bruce Crittenden Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Hi, and thanks for the photos and info. I have other blowers to use and just trying to make this one serviceable. I will take your advice and move forward with making new parts or fixing what I have. This blower makes some noise but continues to roll over for more than one revolution. I need to concentrate on the lock nuts for the final race position.. I think they slip after a little use and then the bearings are out of tolerances. I know I can eventually smooth it out. Thanks again for the info and advice....and Good Luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
