Has anyone here replaced their belt driven fan with a electric? Why I am I considering this? Because the skid doesn't have the stock motor and and the fan center height is higher with the other motor. So he installed a smaller fan 12" instead of the stock size 15" to fit into the shroud. Thx Randy

If the fan moves enough air and as long as you build a suitable shroud i can't see why not.

Opps should have edited the post before posting, sorry. My questions were ; 1)How deep should the fan sit in the shroud? 2)Does anyone know what the stock fan's size and cfm would be? 3)Does anyone have any good tips for building a shroud? Randy

I have seen ele fans that you attach right to the rad push or pull and can use more than one if needed

Would you know or where I can find out how much cfm the stock belt driven fan would have produced?
