Theres only 1 model Manitou that would use a wing fan like that and that's a MLA 630 pivot steer?

how ever i suspect it more likely its a more common model some one has fitted a non standard fan to.

Let me know if you want another wing fan as i have an account with them.

We all make mistakes though, trying to remember my mistakes over the years, worst was probably breaking a Matbro windscreen with a 14lb hammer

if the hub is okay you can buy the replacement blades from wing fan to repair it!

All to easy, I was balancing up top braying out the top pin on the boom of a TR250 or similar

Thanks but Ok. The dealer is standing by the repair, the cost of the origional job and cost of loader tractor hire as it took them 5 days to get a replacement
BTW its a MLT 629

The fan on our 629 broke up while i was driving along the road.

that wing fan does not look like its got a reinforced centre hub imo? I know from the redrock handlers that if its not got a reinforced centre hub the hub cracks within a very short time.
