I am considering replacing the fan blades on my 1985 FC 250hp that has a Horton air clutch, for more air flow. Does anyone have experience with the new non metal blades for improved cooling. I'm replacing the core, and adding another row for more capacity.
Thank You, JWR yak5225@aol.com

Horton makes a plastic Windmaster fan, you will need to measure: bold circle, pilot diameter, fan offset. It is claimed to use less energy and move more air.

You should get good results with the new fan. Are you having a heating problem or just want to modify. Another thing you can do is put an on/off switch on the dash so you can cut the fan off when pulling hills. you get a HP boost if you do this, but have to carefully watch the heat.
