Bump change the listing somewhat to looking for the geared cleaning lever or possibly a model 100 valve assembly

Seansmithwfd

I have found that the hard to find items show up when you least expect them to or have for me atleast. Watch gas under pressure channel on you tube. That is Michael down toward Houston. I believe he rebuilt one. He and I actually have talked about those heaters as well. I believe his didn’t have the...

We used to hit the state parks when in our twenties and do that kind of camping. Texas has a ton of them and all are wonderful

Seansmithwfd

How cool is that. The wife and I have already been talking about camping. Think the first primitive camping will be sometime in March. Will do a ten mile hike in to a pot on lake Texoma and camp overnight the hike back out the next day. Already starting our hiking training for our dolomite trip in S...

I opened this question and immediately recognized those two heaters. I have been watching them as well over the last two weeks or so. He just dropped the price a couple of days ago. They have been tempting. The price is getting better. You may be able to offer him a deal on the pair. Then start look...

Seansmithwfd

Duane thanks for responding on that.

Seansmithwfd

I told myself I would only buy unusual this year.

Seansmithwfd

So all the agms have the geared cleaning lever set up?

Seansmithwfd

Which other models use the same cleaning lever setup?

Seansmithwfd

It looked good and was the right price but when I tore it down I found that the cleaning lever had the gear broken off and missing.

Seansmithwfd

Here is the only pic of mine at the moment

Seansmithwfd

Again appreciate it. I am fixing to go in to work in a few. The lantern is out in the shop in pieces. Will get some photos on as soon as I can. That’s has always been my problem about buying parts lanterns. Satisfying to make them not parts lanterns. I have four lanterns that are definitely parts du...

Seansmithwfd

I know very little about the agm’s. This one has the slightly down canted valve. I will start looking on that site. Thanks.

Seansmithwfd

Changed the title. Looking for the cleaning lever that has the gear on the end (or atleast I assume it does as the generator is geared) The generator cleaning lever is broken on mine. One of the members here mentioned a model 100 possibly would work as well. Thanks.

Seansmithwfd

Thanks for the interesting info gents. This one is at local auction. Will watch it and if I am happy with the price I will experience the joy and or heart ache of it. This was just a happenchance to come across. Actually first saw a Coleman 9g stove that perked my interest. No not a stovie. Ha… they...

Seansmithwfd

Ah perfect thanks.

Seansmithwfd

I assume it is a Prentiss waber but that is as far as I have gotten. Square knob. Round fill cap. Pump in side of fount. Ideas on model and year. Thanks.
Sorry had to pull photo. Realized the auction site was at the top.

Seansmithwfd

Thank you. That was extremely interesting

Seansmithwfd

Dang I am jealous!! I just have a handful of creepy lamps….

Seansmithwfd

I get enough of a workout with the honey do chores on the ranch. I do like the idea of the nuts as pictured.

Seansmithwfd

Cool appreciate it guys.

Seansmithwfd

Reason I asked is that collar is 2 and a 1/4 inches. Largest one by far on any of my gpa’s. Only have the fill port open. Most the time I have the bing open and send air in through there but not this one. Thanks for the info

Seansmithwfd

Just out of curiosity when doing a bb dance how do you get lol the bb’s out. Have a bq lantern with a pretty decent collar at the fuel port. Was thinking using steel shot so I could use a small magnet to get them out. I believe that would work if not somewhat tedious with either the steel shot or sm...

Google search the Tilley man in England. I have gotten some odd parts from him reasonable. He boast about having thousands of Tilley parts. Hope that helps

Seansmithwfd

For us (wife and myself) we do a ton of hiking. The last three big trips were climbing Kilimanjaro, Patagonia’s toro del pine and mount blanc in Europe. We exclusively use synthetic materials and layer layer layer. Gives you. Ton of options for peeling those layers off for thermo regulation. Arctery...

Seansmithwfd

I use old towel for disassembling and reassembling. Then have one that is not so clean when I am using cleaners on the parts. This does two things for me. If I drop a screw or some other small part it normally doesn’t roll off and get lost. This also helps keep the work bench a little cleaner. When ...

Seansmithwfd

Bbq at my place tonight. Three 242’s and a 202 professional on the post of the carport to light everyone’s way in. Would have been 4 242’s but one decided to act up. On the patio going to run a chandelier

Seansmithwfd

I will take it. Pm sent

Seansmithwfd

That is awesome. Love them. Totally different but my first was a 1974 powerwagon. 318 and was a tank. Only bad was a divorced transfer case that was always breaking the short drive shaft. I know that it didn’t have anything to do with a teenagers driving habits. Thanks. Very cool

Seansmithwfd

Grob just curious. What year is the powerwagon ?

Seansmithwfd

My idea of a block heater. 1985 John Deere 2140 built in Germany doesn’t like the cold. 457g with a heat drum.

Seansmithwfd

Seansmithwfd

Ok interesting. Thanks for the info

Seansmithwfd

Just curious and I may have missed it in the previous post. When talking about a torch what are you using? Propane torch or aoc? And if an aoc are which head are you using? Welding tip? Cutting or rosebud?

Seansmithwfd

Made out like a bandit. Congrats

Seansmithwfd

Don’t be. They really are fun if somewhat finicky. They give a different perspective of how a gpa can be done.

Seansmithwfd

That’s interesting

Seansmithwfd

I have both the Petromax and the Aida. They are definitely interesting to play with. I don’t ever use them on a regular basis. Some days they run like a charm and others you want to kick them out the door. Lots of noise like a mil spec and tons of light. I do agree I like the 236 and 237 better. Les...

Seansmithwfd

My small number. Do I qualify?

Seansmithwfd

Amazing on how these things clean up and shine. I need to work on my polishing skills. Great lanterns

Seansmithwfd

That is amazing and shows true dedication to preserving the heritage of the gas plants. I would be interested in both the 457g and the 460g when you get to the point.

Seansmithwfd

I just checked mine. It is a 5 cup version and has zero play in it.

Seansmithwfd

Hate seeing a globe shattered. Was curious on the stamping. Noticed it on mine as well. Was curious if that was common

Seansmithwfd

I was going to post about that. I picked one up last weekend in west Texas. As I was cleaning it I noticed the same thing. Was this common?

Seansmithwfd

Absolutely she is. Supports me very well through this rabbit hole I got myself in

Seansmithwfd

Very interesting. Thank you Jim.

Seansmithwfd

I originally missed this lamp. The guy changed his mind about selling it. Today we went back into this antique store. My wife found it stuff in the back of his booth. I didn’t know she found it. She had it put behind the sales counter. After walking all through this store we went to check out and lo...

Seansmithwfd

They are very addictive. I started being more serious about them 9 months ago. Have always had five or size with the two originals being 220’s that belonged to my dad and uncle. I believe that is where I fell in love with them. Found memories at deer camp with them lighting the supper table. So from...

Seansmithwfd

It was actually cool enough this morning to run the radiant heater. To bad I had just gotten off of shift. But the cool is just the beginning and typical Texas in a short sleeve shirt now.

Seansmithwfd

I didn’t have much luck with them. Emailed back on forth on some gaskets for a perfection stove. When I asked for a price with shipping it was crickets. Never heard anymore from them. Chalked it up to they didn’t want my business
