Down-draft radiator fan failure

Hi M.R.,

Fantastic news that you got the motor and that it is a 100% identical replacement.

My original motor had oiling ports like the ones you've shown. My replacement motor doesn't - it's lubed for life. Yes, it sounds like the motor was installed upside down - ideally I think you'd want to see the oiling ports at the top. Getting to the inner oiling port once it's installed is difficult and probably impossible if mounted with it facing downward.
