Yup. I spent 7 years going to ours every Tuesday. Nothing like getting ready to crawl under a dozer to see a pile of hiperdermic needles. Or a TD 25 loosing a track on a side hill in loose trash.

I will say that every piece of equipment had a yuge pile of rear end manuals in it! Definitely not a female friendly environment.

Make sure you use a fan rated box.

You can do it from below, but if you have good attic access, sometimes it's just easier to do it that way.

I have okay access but I'm more curious how it's mounted. It's not original and was done in the 80's. I might have to make a trip into town for parts.
