You've got to be referring to the direct drive fan and motor assembly here. That doesn't occur for the belt driven fan.Rob R. wrote:The fan is usually destroyed during removal. Best to get the entire assembly.

For my own future reference regarding the belt drive fan motor, would the inexpensive Grainger/Dayton model 3K199 that I dug up work as a drop in replacement for the Marathon B317?

Don't you have this boiler for sale? If so, maybe the blower died from a broken heart.

hahaha! broken heart maybe but the motor died on me once last winter before I had it up for sale, this boiler is no longer for sale, I want a hand fired wood and coal combo and while the CEO of AHS and I were talking in their factory today we struck up a deal on trading mine in on one of their multi fuels, I cant say enough good things about how I was treated today and Jeff is an awesome guy who was willing to do whatever it took to get me up and running, Im glad its in the original owners hands now and my coalgun is up and running, shes got a uphill struggle ahead of her seeing how its 50 degrees in my house right now but Im sure shell handle it, thank you all for all your help

what kind of burn times are you getting with coal then Dennis? I was told with wood as long as you don't care about creosote forming from letting it smolder you can achieve long burn times, shovel full of coal afterwards will clear that up
I can understand the once a day thing but it seems like once a month I spend all day fixing it!
