We have the motor. What I am wondering how old this fan is and crazy question is this fan suppose to blow out or in? See I thought it was an exhaust fan but my husband said he does think so. Any ideas are appreciated.

Hard to tell in the photo, but looks it should blow toward the pulley. The sharp edge of the Venturi will be the discharge side. Looks like what we call an attic fan down in the south. Other parts of the country call them whole house fans.

I agree it looks like an attic fan. It would lay flat in an attic with the side we see in the photo facing up. There would be louvers below in the ceiling of the house. It would suck hot air up from the house and blow it into the attic where it would escape through soffet vents or gable vents. I would think the fan could easily be "retro-fitted" to work as an exhaust fan in your husband's garage. As others have said, it will likely move a lot of air quietly. Nice find!

Tina, that fan should work great as a exhaust fan. The blade looks to me like it should rotate clockwise viewing it as seen, I can tell by the way the wings are curved to "scoop" the air. With clockwise rotation it will perform great as a exhaust fan. Best of luck. Keep us posted.

The same fan was in an old dry cleaners i use to work at when i was a teenager. It was installed when the building was built in the late 40's and it was an exhaust only. Wish i had got it when they tore the building down.
