I was replacing the fan belt on my A and noticed that the fan was pretty loose and seemed to wobble too much. I removed the fan (after taking off the radiator) and took it apart. It seems that the bushings between the shaft and the pulleys is worn. Can I get a fan assembly rebuild kit of some sort for this. If so, from where. I really don't want to buy a new fan and pully assembly if possible. If anyone has experience with this, let me know. Thanks guys.

I take the A-B-C fan assemblies to a machine shop and have ball bearings put in. It does not cost very much ($50) and you don't have to worry about keeping oil in the fan reservoir. You can also really snug up on the belt without damaging the bearings.

Thanks Andy. If I decide to go this route, does the oil resevoir have to be filled in with some material first. Also, the space avaiable for the bearings to ride is seems pretty minimal. Do standard bearings fit in that small of a space, or do you use some sort of specialty use bearings. Thanks.

Standard ball bearings will work. the machine shop can select them for you from their supplier.

They will cut out the inside of the housing and maybe put a sleeve in it, then turn the shaft and sleeve it to hold the bearings.

We use double sealed bearings which have an exceptionally long life in this type of service.

If you use single sealed bearings you can grease them as Bill suggests. It's a toss-up. I use my tractors to work with and prefer fewer grease zerks (but I still curse manufacturers for not putting zerks where I would have, like in auto u-joints)

I recommend putting the bearings in. I did this on my Cub, same assembly just smaller. I also put a grease zerk in the assembly and pumped it full. It will stay in fairly well and don't sling everywhere. Then every now and then just hit with a couple pumps. The reason I did this is because all the oil came out and I didn't know it and it locked up and killed the engine. I thought the motor locked up. Turned out to be just the fan. My 2 cents.
