Topic: K code fan blade

[usapony]

Need help identifying these numbers on my K code fan blade
In the center it has FU and on the blade it has 911960 F89 I do know that 911960 is correct but not sure what the other letters and numbers are

Mine says "F65" which I interpret as June, 1965, and that's before both engine assembly/inspection date of 5H23 and car scheduled date of 18K (6R09K121xxx).

Looks like you have a reproduction Hipo Fan given the stampign pattern and that date.

Another example of a reproduction




Examples of originals. Different patterns possibly the result of two suppliers





Dating of factory as shown on page (current version) 13 of the date coding article in the Library is Month - Year

Hope this helps

I agree with what Jeff said. Also notice how the original fan has the flat part with rivets stamped and pushed toward the engine and the repo has it inverted and pushed toward the radiator.
