Does anyone have a RANCO heater valve they would like to sell? I pulled a Harrison Fresh Air heater off a junker in a bone yard and forgot to get the valve. The bone yard is no longer available. Our host rebuilds them, but you have to have a core or they won't do it. Greg
Greg, I used the guy on the link below to rebuild my valve. Great job. Fair price. good guy. He had a couple in stock, but you will have to pay him a core charge if you cannot send yours. http://www.heatercontrolvalve.com/ Andy
Greg if You can post a pic of what you need , I can see if I have one . All of what I have are off with the heater parts in a pile & I,m not sure whats what . Bob
No picture Bob, That's the problem. I don't have one to take a picture of. Andy's post and link shows the 50' version and it is the same for my '51. I don't have the core to rebuild. Greg
Greg is a 53 the same? http://s263.photobucket.com/albums/ii153/chris502550/1953 CHEVY TRUCK/?action=view¤t=432.jpg 432.jpg image by chris502550
Good enough Greg , I look in my stockpile & see what I have , I,ll let You know ASAP , either way. Bob
Greg , Sorry I cant find one that looks like that Yet, So if You get a chance to get one grab on to it. Dont Mean I dont have one, I just aint had time to drag everything out of the shed yet . Just didn,t want to keep You waiting . But I,ll keep lookin. Let Me know if You do find one please . Thanks Bob
Thanks Bob. So far the prospects do not look good for finding one. I may have to make the boneyard circuit. We have had 40+ straight days over 100° in Texas, so I am going to have to wait until the wrenches don't sizzle in my hands. Greg
rancho heater valve I have one , it looks decent. What I need is the control rod to control the valve. May be we could work out something. I need to send another one in to be rebuilt, I could send it in under your name if you are ready.
Gary1of2, Thanks. To what company are you sending them to be rebuilt? I could either pay you for the core or maybe I have something you would like in trade? I have a few items that I bought repops and then decided to rebuilt the original. You can PM me with a response. Greg
rancho valve I will send it to classic parts. They did the last one for me. It will be shortly. We need to make arrangement with classic parts.
Greg, If you can't find a complete valve set up for your heater, I might be able to help you out. There's a wrecking yard by me that has several of these old trucks. That's where I got mine. I'd almost bet there's at least one more there. Paul B.
heater valve I have them out and ready to send. If you want it. Let me know I need to get this one on the way. Its for a costumer.
Greg, Found one at the wrecking yard. It's complete except for the knob and the bracket that the rod goes through. Of course, it'll need rebuilding. $10 for the who;e thing. Let me know if you're interested. Paul B.
Sorry, I feel like I am juggling here... Gary and Paul B.: Do either of the ones you have have the capillary tube still intact? Apparently, it must be there for someone to rebuild the unit. Greg
