If you'll take the motor apart and with your finger put a very light coat of red#2 tube grease from your local auto parts store you can use the fan nearly a whole season without the bearing noise. I have done hundreds of these this way.
yea really, have you heard his 16 inch Kmart run?, it sound like its going to die, and a good fan like that should out live him, but he will end up killing it
I have oiled it. The bearings are already worn. The only thing I can do to try to make it quieter is balance the blades. That might get rid of the knocking noise.
Eskimo, Toastmaster, Manning Bowman, etc. were made by McGraw-Edison. The motors on these fans were made by McGraw-Edison and seem to have only been used on their fans.

Nice find, too bad about the bearings though. It does seem to coast down pretty good at least.
