RANCO Heater valve

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,

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.

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?

Chris,

Greg

 

Good enough Greg , I look in my stockpile & see what I have , I,ll let You know ASAP , either way. Bob

 

Thanks Bob.


Greg

 

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.

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.

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.

Thanks. Let me know what you find.


Greg

 

Gary,

Let me know when you are ready to send them to Classic.

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.

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

 

Greg,

The one I found still has the tube intact.
