Here's the fan from my 1993 Kirby G3, which is still original.
It's the best I can do until I disassemble my G3. ~Ben | ||

Ken,
On the G3 and G4, the impeller fan still had the tall fins, but the only difference was that for these two models, in the back side of where it's mounted there is a dipped (recessed) area near the mounting hole in order for it to fit smoothly against the G3's motor unit. This is why you cannot just bolt the metal fan onto any of the G3 series machines: 1 - G3 and G4: the back side of the impeller by where the mounting hole is must be grounded off just enough in order to clear the raised area on the G3's motor unit. 2 - G5 and up: shorter fins. For the older machines, you can use the G5-up impeller fan, but there are spacers included in order to make them work correctly with the pre-G3 machines. ~Ben This post was last edited 04/27/2024 at 21:13 | ||
