Doesn't the fan blades turn the same direction no matter if driving forwards or backwards (belted fans that is)??
Don't see how driving backwards would thaw anything out.
Even if the fan blades did turn backwards, it'd still be blowing cold air through the radiator unless the engine had a compartment with side skirts, or (if its a tractor) it had a comfort cover likewise with canvase side skirts.
Even mechanical fan blades would have to be driven by the drive train and not the engine, to run backwards in reverse.
Have heard stories about people putting backwards fan blades on so they blew air through (opposite direction of only the air flow) instead of pulling it through. Like maybe on 8n ford's. Not sure what the reasoning was behind it. But even in these cases, the fan still traveled the same direction all the time. Just blew air the other way (all the time).
