I think that is a good idea Nick (my Son has a 3d printer) I just wonder if most collectors would want a metal one exactly like the original . the guy that made my replica Empire swing seats could most likely make me up a few dozen of these as well , I just need a good original piece to copy.The Aermotor blades certainly look better than what ever the hell it is that someone at one time put on mine.I wonder if there is a enough of a market to justify getting a original replica batch of these made up ?
I was thinking 3D printing in red would be a great idea, no need for paint. Would be simple for someone that knows what they’re doing and I would imagine through forums, facebook and ebay they could sell between a dozen to 2 dozen. A friend recently made these extensions for the ERTL Case model and sells them for $85/pair (that’s where I got the idea)

in Germany put on my nice, old engine. Some may like it,
but I didn't. Looks better after my efforts, but I'm not
done yet with it as I needs a topper. Once you are done,
you'll be happy to have the windmill with the Aermotor blade.
Mine is a keeper.

I've added some pix and a you tube link. An explanation on
how to put the fan blade on the windmill is there. I apologize
for the lighting - missed the fan blade. This mod is a 'no brainer'.

Happy hunting,

Good luck with the hunting.
Have you made a go at making the replacement Governor yet?
Did you have to do any work on the motor or contacts?
