hydro fan question

[perry 82]

im gonna have a few post on here toninght. i got to get them wrote down before i forget.

CRS sydrome ya know

on the 1277 the hydro fan is a thinner more flexible curved fan. and on the 877 the fan is solid aluminum and has more straighter fins. are one of these a replacement. both being the same year and trans i thought it was odd to have totally different fans .

It looks to me the like the one on the 1277 is the original fan, and the other one might be a home built replacement. It will probably be fine, but I think if it was mine I would try to give it the same bend as the one on the 1277. Those straight blades won't move much air.

on what Jim said the one on the 877 will not cool aswell as the one on the 1277! you will need to either bend the blades or replace it all together they show up on ebay now and then :thumbs:

Hi Perry, For what it's worth, the fan in the first pic looks like the one on my 1077. Glad to see you're getting it together !

thanks guys. i never payed much attention to the 877 fan. all i know is its heavy duty and sharp . and i have never had a guard on it untill now.

now why did'nt you guys ever notice that in my all my past 877 post's. this poor little thing gets worked to death.

shame on you.... :D

The one on my 1075 looks just like the one on your 1277.

I'd try to find another fan, I don't know if being out of balance would hurt being that small an light, But.... Better safe than sorry.

Perry let me dig around in my parts boxes...I may have a few of them?

I agree with everyone else though...never seen one like your 2nd picture.

All have been like pic 1 or the molded plastic fans.

Be nice Perry, I might have to find more around you to buy, Just because :thumbs:

Maybe you could find one of those "old-school" defroster fans from a bus or an old Mack and swipe the blades out of it.

You might need to drill some holes to mount it to the trans pulley, but I bet it would work. (as long as it turns the right way)

[Kelly 1,033]

Oh, buy the way the fan looks like new! on that tractor, just thought you might want to know that Perry. I can pick too.

[Kelly 1,033]

I know of a 877 parts tractor if you can't find a fan, The next time I'm over there I check on it.

[perry 82]

Perry,

It sounds like everyone answered your question. I was late, again, but I would just confirm everyone's opinion/advice. The straight fan on your 877 wouldn't be as efficient moving air as the curve one.
