HP500 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 I just picked up an old Buffalo Forge 2E blower that is missing a motor. I am in the process of reconditioning it. When I took it apart, two pieces fell out and I can't figure out what they would be for. One is what looks like some type of collar with a spring on it. The other is a long bolt. Can any one tell me what they are for? Also, If you have any motor recommendations for this blower, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HP500 Posted April 13, 2017 Author Share Posted April 13, 2017 Can anyone help? I did a Google search for a parts diagram/schematic but struck out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Olson Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 These were inside where the fan is? How big is the band. Could it be used to hold the hose on the air outlet. I dought they belong inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Neither one of those goes inside the fan shroud. I would want to check if the hose clamp fit on the exhaust port perhaps even at the ridge. The long bolt: does it fit the holes holding the motor stand to the blower?

HP500 Posted April 13, 2017 Author Share Posted April 13, 2017 Thanks guys. The exhaust port is 3" in diameter and the clamp is 4.5" in diameter. Finding them both inside the fan shroud with the impeller is what threw me, since I have zero experience with any type of blower and didn't know what to expect when I took it apart. As long as I know those two pieces do not belong inside the shroud, I'll just continue my search for a motor and try to get the blower up and running.

HP500 Posted April 16, 2017 Author Share Posted April 16, 2017 I found out what the spring clip was for. I found this picture on eBay. It is attached to the motor for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 That's a shield to keep trash out of the motor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
