today i put in the new dayton blower. had to drill a few new holes and make some extra screws in the motor bracket to make it stronger. took the steel mounting frame off of the old blower and had it welded onto the new blower. then painted it gray.
of course i broke the windshield wiper fluid pump when i put in the blower. fortunately a new one was only 15 bucks at autozone so i put it in when i was done.
had to play around a bit to get the motor adjusted right. put a new pulley and belt on while i was at it.
when i first fired up the genny there was a horrible rattle, but i found that the electrical box in had put on the side was rattling so i took it off and put foam under it and all was well.
now it is all very quiet.
but as usual, i found that the genny radiator has a pinhole leak so i need to take it out to get it fixed. one thing at a time.
