doug1961 Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Hi all,I recently purchased a coal forge (newbie blacksmith) I am trying to find information about the electric blower it came with. I would like to replace the somewhat damaged paddle fan, any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 They don't make parts for these anymore; several of my old ones have had new paddles brazed on; one was riveted on. You are on your own unless you can find a "donor" and even then transfers can be tragic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doug1961 Posted April 24, 2015 Author Share Posted April 24, 2015 Thanks for the post. Since I am using a newer motor, I thought I might try and find a newer version fan that would fit inside this housing. Have you even heard of this blower? I can't find anything on the net about it.

Jacob Nothstine Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Might check out your local scrap yard, I picked up 2 electric blowers the other day at the scrap yard for maybe $4.00 for both. One worked the other didn't. You might find one you can modify to fit your blower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the iron dwarf Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 if you are involved in metal working why not make one, a central boss to fit your motor shaft, a disc with a central hole for the shaft ans smaller holes for screws to hold disc onto the boss then more holes further out for the paddles, either have paddles with a flange and bolt or rivet or cut the paddles with little legs to go through the holes to line them up and weld on the back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
