Oh man, you snooze, you lose. There was a guy giving one away just exactly like that about a year and a half ago. Last I heard it was seen in a micro bus headed for a Greatfull Dead concert.

My driveway is starting to fill in with blowing snow! Please turn the 20 in. box fan back to LOW speed, remove the large 3-phase motor, and take the fan back to East St. Paul so the kids quit crying about their lost stickers. Thanks!

from Reuters:

Nearly 5 million inexpensive electric fans are being recalled after they were blamed as the cause of at least seven fires, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said.

The box style Lasko and Galaxy brand fans were sold at major retailers nationwide between 2002 and 2005 for $12 to $25. They were manufactured in the U.S. by Lasko Products Inc. of West Chester, Pennsylvania.

CPSC officials said electrical failure in the motor is the source of the problems with the fans. Consumers who have the fans are urged to unplug them until they receive a free plug safety adapter with a fuse that must be requested from the manufacturer.

The following models are subject to the recall: Lasko box fans models 3720, 3723, and 3733 and Galaxy box fans that have the model number 4733 and “2002-03” or “2003-04” stamped on the bottom of the metal frame.

Five years ago, Lasko recalled 5.6 million fans after the company received reports of more than 40 fires that were also associated with motor failure. One homeowner whose house was destroyed said the fan that started the fire was turned off at the time.

Safety advocates have assailed box fans as being unsafe since that recall. While the brand wasn’t immediately known, a box fan was blamed for a fire in Colorado this week that displaced more than two dozen people.

To get more information or order the adapter that is intended to make the fans safe, call Lasko at (877) 445-1314 or go to the company HSOforum:

No doubt the famous box fan has gained some serious monetary value. Maybe it'll be found someday on Pickers. Many will attempt to imitate, but there can be only one box fan with proper KC Royals and Unicorn stickers!

I broke a 20" fan blade the other day, I know earlier in the post that someone was looking for a replacement for this fan as it only has two blades this would be a great replacement I put a royals sticker on the back side for balance ....

How did that work for ya? I was thinking since a fan blows and KS sux that it might throw it off balance?

    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
