Prevost right angle fan drive box

[rusty]

When SOD but the motor in my 05 eagle they used a prevost right angle box that sits in the left rear corner with belts to the motor and to the fan. The box has a longer output housing. Do any of the prevost guys know what box that is and what year prevost they came out of? Did prevost mount the right angle box in the corner at one time or have they always been on the fan? Also do you know where I can get one? There was some talk on another site about not being able to get some prevost box. I would like to have one on my shelf if mine goes out.

Thank You Wayne

I have one Wayne.  I think it is vintage about 2001.  Been on my parts shelf for quite a while so will probably need new seals, easy to replace.  I can email you the picture of it or of the page out of the manual if you want.

Thanks Mark I will look at it and give you a call

Or convert to hydraulic drive?

Or convert to hydraulic drive?

A RE school bus being scrapped could be an inexpensive source of everything needed to convert to a hydraulic fan drive  -  high-capacity pump with priority flow divider valve assembly for the PS, solenoid directional control valve and cavity block for modulating the fan speed, fan motor itself, reservoir, filter.

His drive type has worked for years on a Eagle why would he want to convert to a hydraulic system,belt driven fans are hard to beat IMO

I have no interest in changing to hydraulic. Thank You Mark for the picture out of your manual. That box has an upper half and a lower half. The box I have is a box with the shaft housings bolted to it. You said that box is in buses around 2000 that is about the time my engine install was done. That being said I would think my box is older than that. My box was used. Does anyone have any idea about an older box out of a prevost. I would like to have the same box so I don't have to change anything.

Thank You Wayne

I am beginning to question if my box is a prevost. The one Bob has is similar to the one Mark has except Bob's has three shafts. Maybe my box is way older than Bob's or Mark's or it is not a prevost. If I can't get this figured out I think I will change it to a hub city box that I know I can get a replacement. Does anyone have any ideas if prevost used a different box on older busses?

Thank You Wayne

Wayne the older Prevost used a 90 angle drive at the fan hub driven by a belt driven shaft.May be you have a Eagle angle drive box.Southern Oregon would take the miter box and mount there using 2 pulleys when David did re powers you have a photo.You could have the angle box Dave Galey used I tried find and post a photo of his but no luck.Maybe our leader here Gary Hatt could post a photo of his angle drive I think is a Eagle angle drive

I will try and get a picture. I will see if I can figure out how to post it here.

Thank You
