If the bearings are bad in a 671 blower, can it be rebuilt? If so, who would I talk to?
 
What brand of blower is it? They are simple but particular. GM Detroit diesel based are easy to find parts
 
I had mine apart. It's actually pretty easy to replace bearings and seals. The OE GM bearings are usually upgraded. You can read how to do it. As long as you aren't trying to move the rotors down towards the bottom of the case to change clearance it's simply bolting in parts. Just pay attention and make sure each part goes back where it came from. If not the rotor timng may not be correct.

I live in Waterloo and don't know if Rudy is with us and if so I think he is retired.
 
retired but still works the shop , he's toll me just let him know what's coming and what i want it to do , he's in his 70's now . and sold off most of his shop tools . but retained enough to build them still . he got sick , but the navy found a drug to get him back up and running . but he did get covid . and was only working part time from what i know . toolmanmike if you find time , go see the legend . rudy is a great guy !
