Cooling fan motor replacement

The cooling fan on my Mark went out awhile ago. I picked up a used one to hold me over in the mean time....two years later here I am. The used one is still working, but i want to install a new motor so i'm not stuck with another broken fan.

I ordered a new fan motor from RockAuto, it came in the mail - looks the same as the old one. I drilled out the rivets connecting the motor to the shroud and cleaned everything up for reassembly.

Now, here's my problem. The fan blade does not sit tight on the new fan motor. I can spin the blade and it doesn't grip onto the shaft of the new motor. Is that supposed to be a press/fit/friction fit design, or am I missing something here?
