I purchased this heater mainly because it was paired with the switch I needed. I had the heater core repaired, but the fan needs to be replaced. I plan to resale once I know it works.

Does anyone know where I can find a modern 6 volt fan for this heater?

I attached some photos. The photo of the installed heater was provided by another member from a previous post. It matches the heater I have.

Thank you

W/o a number or size about the only thing to do is take it someplace that repairs DC electric motors.   There's a few repairers online but have not used any.   It's a crap shoot if you find one used whether it'll work.   I went through this with antennas motors.

Here is a link to some detailed information about the correct motor for that heater. The motor has the ability to run in both directions. Not all motors can do that. I bought the correct heater for my 1940 Lasalle but the motor in it was a later 6V replacement that did not reverse. I got lucky and a person on this forum sold me the correct motor.

I got my heater working properly with the right switch but I have not installed it yet. I have the same question you do about hose routing.
