Steve,
FWIW, I have a four blade blower wheel that I really have no need
for.
It's nominal dimensions are:
11" OD
4" Wide
2" long hub with 3/4" bore and a 3/16" keyway
If interested, send me an email or call me at 270-404-0511.

Hi
again GE tractor folks,
Before I spend a lot of time trying to straighten and balance my
leaf sucking blower's blower wheel I thought I'd ask...
Does anyone have a surplus blower wheel they'd like to part
with?
It might be cheaper in the end to replace than fix.
More on my motor. My motor, as best as I was able to measure
with it's roughened shaft, has 0.0035 to 0.0040 inch runout. My
GE dealer service manual states that 0.004 inch is OK for our
motors. I think the 0.0015 inch is more appropriate, but maybe
0.004 inch is OK for motors used intermittently like the motors
on our GE tractors.
I did reassemble the motor but left the blower wheel off, and it
does not vibrate, which is good. It does make excessive noise.
I'm now pretty sure that the big end bearing has a dented
bearing race. I couldn't feel any issues when I checked by
hand, but at full speed it's too noisy. New bearings are in
it's future, but maybe not until next season.
So if you have a blower wheel or even an entire blower let me
know.
Thanks folks,
Steve Naugler
