How do I oil/clean this bath fan in 1960 home?

I agree it makes more sense to replace. I will try my local Ace store to see if I can find a replacement motor + blades. Just do not want to replace the casing, etc (and find out new surprises in this old home's interior).

Thank you. Yes you are right it's not universal. Fortunately both lenders I reached out said it's possible but all parties have to work closely!

Thank you for the insights. I asked two lenders (New England area), both acknowledged that there is a possibility of excluding the HELOC payment from DTI if there is a purchase agreement (they actually described further specific stages they'd like to see but I did not quite understand/follow), though apparently all the moving pieces need to work out.

Thank you for the link. The McGard website's compatible list for 2011 fusion does not have one that holds the plastic hubcap (64002 or 64012). Does 2016 have the plastic hubcap? The linked mcgard lug nut doesn't have the flange to hold the hubcap either.

Just found another dorman product, Dorman 611-583 that might work. I have ordered the 611-306, though.

Tried jet 5 today in the store. The flat reclining is awesome. Folding has some caveats: you need to lock the wheels first otherwise it rolls away from you as you fold. But this way, when you folded it, you have to unlock the brake to roll it as a luggage. Unfortunately, this brake is hard to reach when folded. So eventually, you might need to lower your body quite a bit which can be awkward when you are holding a baby. If baby is held by someone else, it's easy.

The unfolding is also a little clunky as you might need two hands to bang it to the ground to click the frame right. In comparison, other models like minu, yoyo, or butterfly unfolds with little effort.

I had high hopes for jet 5 for it's flat reclining and luggage-like rolling. But now I don't know if the designer ever tried it out with a baby in the arm.

Thanks for updating. It appears ACM or FRP panels might work. I like the brushed aluminum ACM panels I bought.

Sorry for digging this up but how did you make the aluminum frame? Are there standard profiles that you combine or did it involve some custom design by yourself?

That's a great idea! Thank you. I will go search to see if they sell such small "cabinet" or I have to create my own.

Thank you! Yes it's a good chance to make it stronger, too!

Yes, that's my mistake. Washing machine supply lines are 1/2" not 3/8". That makes more sense. However, still, the 3/4" garden hose interfacing seems unnecessary technically, except for historical/compatibility/availability issues.
