Dead Radiator Fan – replacement sources?

The fan in the 2014 XP850 has died. It does not turn with 12V applied.

Is this normal? I do not think it is. It should always work when 12V is applied whether it is from the fan system circuit or jumper wires.

Polaris is very proud of their replacement assembly (fan and shroud)…$235. OUCH!

Has anyone been able to properly source only a replacement fan? The original has a manufacturer and a part number.
A search of the internet turned up a source for a similar fan….But…it does not look correct.

Ideas?

Carriers

Right gentlemen, as I mentioned before I bought another 300, this one very low miles and one owner from new. It rides likes brand new out of the box, lovely machine. However, both front and rear carriers have been chipped and scratched from general use and i want them looking new again (or very close). I could shot blast them and repaint but we all know it will chip off again, so, what you people coating yours with? Powder coat ? Bed liner? Anything I’ve not heard of ?
