These fans drive me crazy. Llamas are a cool weather animal so we keep 8-12 fans going in the barn most of the summer. We pretty much gave up on the $40 20 inch high velocity fans that lasted about 1-2 years max. Llamas roll in the dust and drag that inside, so between the dust and constant running the won't last. We just use them at shows now. I have found the enclosed motor ones in 20" and 24" last many seasons.
I did have one 24" fail recently and had a 20" that kept destroying the blades for some reason. My bright idea was to swap the running 20" fan motor into the 24" one with the good steel blades and bigger housing. Got it done, set it in place and it ran about 10 minutes and it quit. After all that swapping and fixing the fan body I was upset. The motor was too hot to touch with a bare hand. I can only guess the motor wasn't up to powering the 24" blade. I did notice the black box (like the OP pictured) on the failed one was melted on the back side. I have a number of furnace fans with good motors that I'm going to put cages around to keep the llamas from getting into the belts and start using those too.
