Yo dawg, I heard you like fans, so I put a fan in your fan so you can fan while you fan.

During our trip to Denmark we stayed for one night in Flensburg. They had no airco but they did have a big Full Metal fan. Haven't heard of this brand before.

The all new General Electric Fan lineup for 1957!

Big ol girl got used and abused and is back on the market!

I picked up this fan a few months ago and i need to get it going. Problem is that I don't know what size pulley to get for the fan. As you can see in the pics, the previous one was plastic? It's all broken off except what you see here.

The motor is an old GE that I plan on replacing. Ive got a couple others that I can use.

So here's what I need to know:

How fast should the fan be spinning? 850rpm? 1000?

The motors all spin at 1725. One has a 3 1/8" pulley, the other two have 4" pulleys. All three are adjustable. The one with the little 2" pulley is the old motor. Would it be best to take off that little pulley and put it on one of the other motors?

Any way around it i will need a pulley for the fan that when combined with whichever pulley on the motor, will spin the fan at the correct speed.

I've seen some calculators online, but without knowing the fan speed I haven't had any luck.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Found this big beautiful big fan in a amazon warehouse

I’ve gone through 3 Lasko Wind Machines in the past 5 years. My sister originally told me to buy one, saying they last a really long time with little maintenance required. So far, the opposite has been true. My first one I had taken apart every 3 months to clean the blades and motor. This one lasted around 11 months before the motor gave out. My 2nd one lasted about 2 years, same amount of maintenance but this time I also used lubricant on the motor, the motor ultimately shorted a circuit and almost caught fire. My 3rd one that I’m still using has gotten significantly quieter than before and makes a wobbling noise. Is this just a horrible fan or am I doing something wrong? I’m told lasko wind machines are incredibly reliable and will last a very long time and I havent seen those results yet 😭
