Replacing an XXV screaming old Jakel with a brand new GA comb blower

Hello
This Jakel Inc Combustion Blower is at least 20 years old in this Harman XXV and the bearing just started screaching in the middle of the night!
So out with the old and in with the new.
Also some cleaning and lubing to prevent rusting and galling!
Anyone else do this?

Pic 4 - Only way to reuse the mounting plate is to cut the shaft!
Pic 5 - Wire wheel the bolts clean and spray lube them with dry moly.
Pic 6&7 - New Gleason Avery combustion blower and double paddle impeller lubed with dry moly spray on mounting plate & blades
Pic 8&9 - XXV fires and runs quiet again!

 

You do nice work. But I think you need more tools! (pic 1)

 

Thanks but believe me I have a lot more tools that fill up the suv with the back seats down along with the parts. I do not go just to look at a broken stove, I have all the tools and parts to fix it too. That reminds me of one of my customer who had an older P61 manual light stove that belonged to her father. I said I could make it into an auto light? She said that would be very nice but when would you be able to do that? I said right now and in 4.5 hours I hooked up the last wire in the new wire harness and it was all done!
