2 blade fan blade for 172 cu diesel

Presently own a 1959 Ford 841 Diesel. Just noticed a small crack in the fan blade. After removing the blade, it wasn't just one small crack, but 5 cracks, one from each of the bolt holes going to the center of the blade and the other from a bolt hole going to the edge of the blade. 2 questions: (1.) does anyone know where a good blade can be obtained, used or new at a reasonable price. fBay has one, but a hefty price. Over time I have seen new 2 blade referenced and sold by various companies mostly for racing but presently can't seem to located them now, nor do I know if they will fit. (2.) will a 3 or 4 blade fit and work with the diesel? If so, info regarding the particulars would be appreciated.
 
The two blade fan was OEM on the 172 diesels.

Go to a salvage yard and buy a used one or search the internet for a (no longer common) parter.

Do not continue to use your tractor with a cracked fan blade.

I saw 2,3,4,5,6 blade fans on CNH. I've always seen two blades on a diesel. They run better with a two blade as it keeps the temperature up good.
