Do it... I have to say it's addictive. It has forced me to learn restraint!

 

Wards Fan up for sale in the classifieds.

 

Theres a guy in the WTB forum who has bought at least two that I know of. Maybe he needs a third. bowhuntenbob is his name.

 

I'm with you on that! My Ward fans are excellent, and Jason has always come through...besides, why would I want a "copy" of the original design that i KNOW works and has excellent customer service? Not to mention Price point...If the LJ product was any good, why would they copy the main competition? Probably because they have been taking a beating from Wards' over all sales numbers.

 

All well and good... But if one can't contact Wards, buy from Wards or get parts/repairs from Wards, then it's of no real current worth. I've been looking at fans and keep dropping by both sites. I can't contact Jason and the site indicates that nothing will be available until mid to late summer. Great, except that best case I would be able acquire one of his units by late summer. My need (perceived or real) is now. I don't buy snow tires after it's dumped two feet of the white stuff, I prepare in advance.

So, I have to look at the currently available produces and pick/choose from those that I can actually get my hands on.

 

From what I understand, over the past months, "was the best"

 

U.S Service member's home grown implementation of a popular idea (and you can't copyright an idea, only your specific version of it) gets straight up stolen by a competitor.
No one raises an eye lash. People line up to buy because screw it, I need a fan. People doing their part to Make America Great Again. Sweet.

Yeah, I know there are probably other facts at play but screw it, let me remain pissed about it... Just not right.

 

Hey Ugly, I'm not about to mix it up with your ideas. Others have explained both the Utility Patent as well as the actual chronology of the two companies.

I just want you to know for the record that I served in the U.S. Army in the 1960s. I proudly wore my 410th Engineers (N.Y.C.) patch on my arm and I needn't use it as a sales tool today.

In addition we give a "Thank You For Your Service" discount to all past and present members of the armed services, police, and fire. - Respectfully, Steve

 

I believe the reason was that I and many others while lamenting about Wards disappearance had said many times that the original love jugs were too damn big. In fact it was suggested to Steve to make a smaller version.

So there you go. A smaller version. If its identical to wards externally, oh well. Wards was identical functionally to LJ's original design. Again, oh well.

 

Some opinions differ I guess, I have an Ultracool fan assisted oil cooler on my LRS. Today in the lovely gift of mid Feb 50 deg weather Mother Nature gave NY today, I watched my PV report 280 degree engine temps around town. Imagine where that goes when it's 90 out. So yeah, the oil cooler isn't doing much to cool the engine. It's keeping my redline oil happy, but it's not keeping my motor cool. So fans it will be.

The 110 is just stupid hot.
