Your probably right.

This was very likely the original factory set because this unit is relatively new, 1991. I guess at some point during the production life they felt the need to speed the auger up a little.
This unit is currently running the opposite pulley set up, 3" on the motor and 3.5" on the gearbox. This makes the auger and ashing a bit slower than normal.
5" on the motor and 3" on the fan. That comes out to 2875 RPM for the fan.
Good catch! The dust storm started right after the baro blew off. I guess this means puff-backs can blow gaskets out as well as stove pipe parts.
In Summer, with no boiler fired, the basement is typically between 64 and 68 degrees.
