Can someone who knows Turf King tell me how the control unit fan attaches to the shaft? My game came with an obvious kludge on the fan - it had a big mass of solder at the center of what looks like might be an original TK fan. I removed the solder and found (as I expected) that the fan blades were soldered to the hub on the shaft. The thing is, I can't tell how the hub is held on to the shaft. The fan hub does not have the same set screw that the bingo games have. I thought maybe the hub had been soldered to the shaft, but I couldn't get it to budge with a reasonable amount of heat and force. I figured I holler for help before I take the motor apart. Anyone know how the fan should be attached to the shaft?
Thanks...
I've almost got Turf King's fan disconnected from the hub on the stator shaft. Just a little bit of solder holding the fan on at this point. (resized).jpg
I've just removed the fan blades from Turf King's fan hub. I don't see how the hub is attached to the shaft. The set screw that bingos have is not present. Is the hub soldered to the shaft? (resized).jpg
