Gates FB1013 Fan Pulley Bracket – OE-Exact Engine Cooling Support

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The Gates FB1013 Fan Pulley Bracket is an OE-exact replacement designed to restore correct support and alignment for the engine-driven cooling fan assembly. It provides the required structure for the fan clutch and fan blade to operate smoothly and reliably.

FUNCTION IN THE COOLING SYSTEM

This fan pulley bracket supports the fan clutch and fan blade, which draw air through the radiator for engine cooling. The fan clutch is driven by the belt running over the pulley attached to this bracket. Excessive vibration from the drive belt, engine, or a failing fan clutch or blades can stress the bracket bearings and castings, leading to wear, cracks, and eventual failure.

BENEFITS OF REPLACEMENT

• OE-exact design for accurate fit and hassle-free installation.
• Restores proper support for the fan clutch and fan blade.
• Helps reduce vibration and noise from the cooling fan assembly.
• Protects related components such as the radiator, drive belt, tensioner, fan shroud and blades.

WHEN TO INSPECT OR REPLACE

• Visible cracks or damage in the fan pulley bracket housing.
• Excessive play or noise from the bracket bearing area.
• Replacing a failed or noisy fan clutch or fan blade.
• Abnormal vibration from the front of the engine or cooling fan.
