Default Saw this on another forum, cooling fan for Command by PTO?
I saw this on another forum while researching something else. Seems like a good idea to me, add a cooling fan to the PTO side of the engine to aid in cooling. Even if the difference made is minimal, a difference is a difference, right? Just wanting to get your thoughts on this as I wasn't able to track down part numbers or model numbers, etc. Would this work on our Cubs? Would we need a longer crank/different spec engine? Anyone have any info on the part number? I'd be willing to be a Ginny pig!

Personally I don't think it would do much if anything on a air cooled setup. Maybe it's to help cool the pto itself?

Or it is for hydraulic system cooling with a radiator in front of it

My thought was it would at least help pull some air over the side cooling fins on the engine as well as the oil filter along with the PTO. Again, I wouldn't expect a 100° difference but hey, even if only 5-10°, that's 5-10° less, right?

Not necessarily trying to out think them, just aid in there intelligence

I wouldn't think there is room for starters. And "if" you could get it on, there wouldn't be any advantage, don't think it would do anything pulling air.
Might be better served if you decide to go out on the lake.

I believe that is a Simplicity Legacy, Agco Allis or Massey Ferguson 20hp or 25hp model.

If you have the room I can't see it causing any harm. May keep your grill insert from melting.

So... you want to mount a fan on the front of the crank and blow air back toward the engine? You mean in the opposite direction that the fan on the back of the motor is blowing air.... thus working against it? So, now the air that was supposed to be directed out the front, just gets pushed back into the engine compartment. Yeah..... what could possibly go wrong....

Well.... Doesn't matter. If you look, you'll see the blades on the fan in the pic clearly blow air out the front. The model of tractor in the pic likely has a hydraulic oil cooler mounted in front of the fan. Better keep your Cub stock.

Come on man, I'm not that dumb! Why would I want to blow hot air back into the engine? Where did you even get that idea? it's obviously as you stated in your second paragraph, it blows air out the front

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
