Mike Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Sorry guys, I know the thread before mine was delightful, but I need to know if I can still find a garage pedistal fan that has a motor that can be oiled, like the good ones were back in the day? I will need one that i'm not oiling the shaft in hopes of freeing it up from a dry shaft that will not turn even if you try and oil it with WD40 or the like. I'm about to throw the one i've been using away because the shaft will turn, but not with the power on. Only by hand. I would like a new fan that is MADE IN THE USA..

41chevy Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Try Granger. Can your motor be rebuilt?

Mike Posted March 29, 2016 Author Share Posted March 29, 2016 No Paul. It is enclosed. The fan was a used one from a garage sale and was a cheap fan to begin with. I forgot about Graingers. They have Dayton products which are very good. Thanks for the heads up. I took note of the azsupply the other day on another thread. Looks like they have pretty good stuff also.

Freightrain Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Good luck finding one with oil fittings. Just bought a replacement fan motor for a pedestal fan here at work> Ouch....$236. Part number 3m504 at grainger. 1 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large...................... Charter member of the "MACK PACK" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted March 29, 2016 Author Share Posted March 29, 2016 Your absolutely right about Graingers Larry. We have one down the street from where I work(play). Maybe the boss could loan me his discount card so I could get a 10 cent discount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j hancock Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 IMO every device with moving parts should have the availability of lubrication points. Sorry, I must be having delusions again... 1 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freightrain Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Ain't been under a new vehicle lately? Ya, not a single grease fitting on them. You know, they are "greased for life"..................HA HA HA. 1 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

Mike Posted March 29, 2016 Author Share Posted March 29, 2016 The boys over at AZ Supply got my business today. I ordered a 30 in. fan from them. Looks like they have some good stuff. But not as good as it once was. Better than your average junk today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtymilkman Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Grainger is WAY overpriced in our neck of the woods. I wish there were still mom and pop hardware stores that had the quality stuff. At least your money would stay local. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCR Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Several years ago I was looking for an electric pressure washer to use inside. Found one at grainger for $1,200 and ordered it. Then found the same one from Northern for $800. I called grainger to cancel order since I found the same one for $400 less. They priced matched and gave it to me for $800. Had I not checked with northern they would have overcharged me for this pressure washer. I told them to cancel my order and ordered from Northern and had it in a few days. Needless to say, I rarely use grainger . Quote Denny330-550-6020A "Mack Pack" Charter Member Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
