somethings not right here

Bill you can take this to the bank:

That blade is correct for CW rotation as you had it propped against the siding. The round side of the rivets go to the rad as you seem to have.

You should see concave curve on the engine side of the blades, which you seem to have

It just can't get any more basic than that.
And I suppose Jos51700 might be right, as if you don't trust yourself to put your hand behind the fan without sticking it in the fan or belts, don't.
Personally I don't have that problem.:D
