2001 thomas Hydaulic Fan control

Can you bypass it to get home? On the air clutch fans there is a provision to thread a couple bolts into the hub and bypass the clutch and hopefully you have the same backup feature. Then you can cap off the hydraulic line and have your bus at least until you can track down the part, or find an alternative. Its noisy on the highway and robs some power but in a pusher you likely would not notice.
If a Thomas dealer cannot find a Thomas part you may have to get creative. But I had a similar problem with a Ditch Witch hydraulic motor and they could not help me so I ended up taking it to an independent hydraulic repair shop and they had no trouble getting it working again.
