Shifted my 2188 out of the shed to get a tractor out that it was in front of when a possum who must have been inside somewhere commited suicide by running into the radiator fan. The fan blades are bent and a chunk of the fan cowling is gone but the radiator is intact.
Also stinking possum parts all over the place.
I'm looking for a second hand fan .Neils don't seem to have one. Does anyone in Aus know where to look, there must be plenty of these older headers being wrecked now.
Thanks

Hey rice cocky, same happened to me. I actually inspected the engine bay on my 9870 prior to starting it because I have nailed a few bushies over the years only this time luck wasn't with me. Busted a couple of blades on the engine fan, one of which must have pierced the radiator. I was due to truck this machine to work later that afternoon so I never had time to search for or repair parts. All new parts and a $5100 invoice. Have since had the radiator repaired if anyone needs one.

Have you tried Condingup wreckers in Esperance ?

Took a minute for your title to soak in.

I know some Victorian Greyhound racing trainers who would be happy to help with your possum problem.

There is a crew advertising in The Land paper that wrecks 21 23 headers. Think they are called essar wrecking or something like that. They are in NSW.

Swanhill header & tractor wrecker. ( Jeff's the man)

I find it hard to believe Neils dont have one. They must want you to buy the complete motor.??? They will buy a 2188 (not burnt) on friday at dubbo Auction so ring them monday................

X2?
Are 1688, 2188 and 2388 the same fan?
I'm in Twmba if you need someone to have a look in Neil's.
GB, I woudnt be using Possum and Greyhound in the same sentence for a while, least 'til the dust settles.

If the greyhound follows the possum into the fan that's going to be messy.
