Engine room blowers

[bobk]

Just a heads up. I had a noisy ER blower and decided to replace both. Found one was shot. The plastic squirrel cage had disintegrated, motor was still running. The other had noisy bearings and the cage was in the initial stages of self destruct.. If you have old blowers, you probably have a similar situation. A preemptive change may be in order.

BTW, in the 48 series I, the blowers are behind the cabinets that cover the air vents.

Need to replace mine in a 1972 hatt 44 TC i'm wondering where they are lol. I'm installing 2 extras as well to help the generator... Anyone know where they are in the 44tc? I've looked around but havn't found them yet... I believe one is on the far star side in the ER... but still looking.. maybe hidden behind a living room panel?
