Flathead fan hub rebuild parts
The fan hub on my 49 fllathead is on the way out. I filled it with oil a while back according to procedure and the oil just ran out of the back at the shaft. Where can I buy the parts required for a rebuild? I haven't been able to find them anywhere. The cost of shipping kinda rules out buying an exchange unit, buy the time I pay the core charge and shipping it would be a $400 hub.

Do not fill with oiul & let it go at that. There is no efective seal at the back end of the shaft, only a dust seal. You would want to do this proceedure about every 500 miles.
Here is what the factory said at the time.
"Turn the fan pulley with the screw on top. Remove the screw, fill with engine oil let set for a few minutes, now turn the pulley with the hole downwards let the excess oil drip out".
Now turn the pulley right side up replace screw and you done lubricating it.
