Sure you might change a wheel bearing.
How long does a tranny last? Or a reciprocating engine?
Put a little gas motor on your aereation fan and run on that vs. the 5hp electric motor.
Calculate your fuel consumption. Plus oil used and oil changes and see how long/how many years you get. Bet it's less than 5. Aeration fans last how long? 20 years? More? less? I don't have any that old so don't know.
The electric motors that run the water pumps at my in-law's irrigation system have been in use since the 80s.
