I noticed something about my SA 200 that I found a little odd. The fan blows air through the radiator rather than pulling it through and blowing it over the engine. That's counter to (I think) every engine I've seen. Maybe I just didn't notice on some of the big pumps and stuff. I was going to use the side table to do some welding, and thought the blow from the fan would be a problem. Then I fired it up and found out it blows the air the other direction.When I rebuilt this, I didn't take the fan off, nor any of the pulleys. So this is the way it came or someone else before me changed it. Everything seems to run fine, just seems a little odd.Steve"...the man who really counts in the world is the doer, not the mere critic-the man who actually does the work, even if roughly and imperfectly, not the man who only talks or writes about how it ought to be done."

Check your car Steve, I think that it is doing the same thing. i

Kubota tractors also use this method. The fan pulls air over the engine, then into the radiator. This is done on a tractor to keep the hot air off of the operator.JohnSteveB wrote:
