Is it just me or is this a metal Kirby fan sold on the aftermarket?
The inner diameter opening looks a little narrow to fit over a Kirby Armature. Are there any other venues where an aftermarket metal Kirby fan can be obtained? I like the Kevlar fan on my machine but it does not have the distinctive sound that the metal fans produce. Here's the link for the fan in question. I found it by accident doing some other searching... www.sears.com/kirby-vacuum-fan-fo... | ||

A genuine Kirby metal fan (does anyone remember how far back it's been discontinued?) was/is part no. 1189 for models 505-515, and no. 119056 for models 516-Tradition, although Sears Parts Direct also alleges the same fan was listed (alongside the no. 119078 Lexan fan) in the Heritage 1HD motor group parts breakdown, too.

No that is not a kirby fan. The blades are pitched the wrong direction. It does look like a Koblez Fan. | ||
