1486 Blower motor assembly options

[Timothy562020]

What are the options for a blower motor assembly.  One of the fans on mine is coming apart ,the one on the other end is out of balance. A new fan from the electric  shop is $130. May need both.   I put a new motor in the 5488 couple of weeks ago for $160. 

The ones I see online  look like there are two motors  not the double shaft motor  like I have.   The dual motor are $260 -$350.  Are the dual motor the way to go? Any other ideas?

The  two motor one will blow the bugs out of your hair and makes less noise.

Do a search -- there was a discussion about the current fans recently

I have both kinds.  They both work but I'm not sure it's that much better.

I tried a dual motor assembly for awile. It is now sitting in a corner of the shop and am back to  a dual shaft single motor if that says anything.

Thanks  Acem

Looks like  Triple R has the wheels for $35 and a  dual shaft motor for $90,  for me that looks like the way to go.

One thing about triple r, he doesn't sell crap. All stuff is as good as OEM or better.

I have been having troubles with the new blower motors lasting a few hours and fail , China junk , nit sure where to get a good one , maybe the ones Mike is selling at Tripple R  are working good 👍

The high efficiency one I bought has worked well for a couple years now.

I've also gotten used blower assemblies from 14x0 and 16x0 combines and cotton pickers. Had good luck with them.
