How do you oil a Patton floor fan? Where do you put the oil?

SOURCE: We have one of the Patton 18

Hi there,
If the fan is vibrating that much that it is causing the whole unit to 'walk' around, most probably the fan-blades aren't symmetric (unbalanced). One, or more, of the blades could be bend in some way. With fan unplugged from the power, remove guard & slowly turn by hand to identify which blade is out of alignment.
If the blades are plastic & it's near-new , then it means that it has distorted from internal stress, as it has cooled when taken from the mold in the factory, so return it for a replacement! If it's not new, there's nothing you can do as distortion can occur from heat over a period of time acting on those same stresses. However, metal blades can be gently bend back a little bit at a time until it runs smoother. Careful, as it is really easy to make it worse!
Hope this helps, Stevie-RayG :)

I have one of these pieces of junk. The motor swarmed, so the rest of the fan is perfect. I'll sell it for $10.00 plus shipping.

Hello, I think there are some screws secured to the back of the motor. Loosen them, and the grille will come right off!

SOURCE: Fan keeps cutting off after being taken apart and cleaned

If it was wired wrong it wouldn't run. I would suspect uneven tightening of the motor screws.

I'm not all up on Patton Model#s, but this is an older unit, correct? You may try contacting Patton (Owned by Holmes now so you may have to go through them)

If they cannot help you, try www.dtvintagefans.org There's collectors there that may have parts fans that they may be willing to sell a blade.

Alternatively, you may try Grainger, as they sell an assortment of blades. You will need to match a blade to your motor though, which should be fairly easy as the Patton fans use a common McMillan motor which most attic fans also use.
