New to me MEP701a, needs parts I can’t find

[Deveak]

Just bought it off Facebook marketplace. Around 800 hours. Overall in good shape but I noticed the top fan isn’t working. Blown fuse. Removed the lid and it was completely seized from water and time. The motor is rusted and swollen. I checked online and the part can only be had on eBay for $300+. I paid 600 for the generator, shipping alone for the fan is 80 bucks and I’m pretty sure it doesn’t cost 80 bucks to ship something that small. I was hoping to see if anyone had any ideas if it could be replaced with a cheaper fan. Also the fuses appear to be an off size or would a civilian fuse work?
Original owner ran it without it but I don’t want to overheat it.
I would also like to replace the hinges. Sharp and rusted, took a huge chunk of my hand!

Get the old fan out and get some good measurements of it. I'm sure we can find you an aftermarket one relatively cheap

Looks to be 7 inches in diameter, three wires going to it so I assume hot, neutral and ground. .25 amps but I think it might be okay to go as high as 50 watts.

Edit: looks like farmingsmallkubota has the winner, I went with that. Thank you.

I will move this thread to the right forum. When you have satisfied your parts requirement, say something.
