JBNeal Posted November 20, 2018 Report Posted November 20, 2018 I was on a high school scholastic competition field trip with a half dozen other nerds, riding in the guidance counselor's Suburban back in '88 when the fan let go on a darkened highway outside of Yoakum...blades went through the radiator, rad.hoses and hood...mechanic said water pump bearings had gone out, thin blades rotated off-center too much causing them to flop around at the hub rivets where it broke apart...conversely, when I was restoring the Farmall 1206 in '03, I found cracks in 2 of those blades that appeared to have been there for years...the only thing holding that heavy steel fan together was a reinforcing backing plate ?
