The fan blade is chipped and old and I don't want to take a chance of it blowing up and taking out the radiator. It has seven blades, 6 bolt holes and a 28 in diameter. So far I haven't found the right vendor. Any help with a part number and vendor would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!!

I think the 296256 is part no. The 296 refers to a 7 blade fan from 14”-26”

I found this. Correct number. Picture is not correct

Dwayne,

Is that stress cracks on the fan blade mounting holes, or just cracked paint?

From what I can see there are no stress cracks. I am planning on replacing it. As well as water pump,thermostat( regulator in cat talk)
Radiator and all the rubber hoses I can find. Upgrade to silicone hoses. Replacing the heater hose to front along with valve as well.
I was caught off guard by the amount of debris in between Charge air cooler. and radiator. The fan shroud needed to be pushed back to see in between. My fan shroud was siliconed to radiator with what seemed to be many pounds of silicone. Upon re assembly I will secure fan shroud with many nut inserts as my current shroud only has 4 welded studs holding this rather large shroud on. Now I am thinking about valve adjustment too. Will this ever stop? I would love to have a fan clutch but that would have to be air operated one as thermostat clutch won’t work in pusher.
