Whether the generator fan is blowing in or out

Why is my Generator fuse blowing?

Current flows through it and back to the battery positive post. You said you found a direct short to the case of the generator, and that will definitely blow the fuse. There's only two things that can cause that, and only one of them can be intermittent.

Does a pusher fan suck air?

If it's a pusher fan with curved profile blades, and is running running backwards, it will suck air, but not near as efficiently as would be rotating proper direction. Just a thought. If the fan is sucking, it is sucking 180 F or higher air over the engine as the air must go through the rad.

Why would a reversible fan blow out?

The most important reason at least in the older machines for it to blow out was to reduce wear on the radiator from particles of dirt and sand that would be sucked in from the front of the machine, especially on a track loader. We also had a reversible fan on one machine and it would provide a lot of heat in the winter.

Does blowing air affect Rad temp?

But if it's blowing its pulling ambient temp air through the engine side panels and the engine bay runs a lot cooler. The little bit of heat it grabs helps to cool the engine and will not be enough to effect the rad temp. Sometimes little things can go a long way.

Can I still buy a reversable radiator fan?

You can still buy the reversable fans, push and turn. i turn mine now and then to keep radiator clear but generally suck in winter, blow in summer. on the fixed fan i am sure you can unbolt it and turn it over, (watch your knuckles). if you're still overheating, power wash the radiator like prev. post mentions.

How good would an engine fan be on a tracked loader?

The engine fan would fan those flames so good that the bucket full of brush would catch fire real good before he would let go of it and drop it on the top of the fire. My dad was my hero growing up, he had a trick for just about anything and i am yet to see anyone as good as he on a tracked loader.
