WTB: Fuel burning heater

[BKubu]

I have an M35A2 that is missing the fuel burning heater that mounts under the hood. Everything else is there. Does anyone have a lead on one? RAM/ACE?

Hey Bruce, if you find one and need help getting it running, call me (PM), I got to know them pretty well working with them to get one good one for the 8x8.
You need the 20,000 BTU version, right?

Yesterday I saw a CUCV with some type of maintenance box body on it, in a wrecking yard. In a compartment on the outside of the box was a fuel burning heater to keep the box warm while people were working inside. Could it be the same as the one you need? I didn't look too closely but it looked complete... I can check, or give you the contact info.

BJORN: Thanks for the offer. I'll let you know if I am able to acquire one.

Jon: To be honest, I am not sure what the correct fuel burning heater for this truck is. I just know the truck had one on it...and it was robbed off of it before it was turned in.

Thanks for the replies, guys!

I thought I saw one in a 939 residue truck at Winslow's. You might give him a ring if you haven't already.

Bruce, the model you should look for is the Stewart Warner South Wind 8420 (or pehaps 8420024).
You will also need the control box with two switches, a light and a 5-pin connector in the back.

 

[BKubu]

Bjorn, I think I have the right controls now. I am attaching a pic.

 

[cranetruck]

Little hard to make out in your image, but this is what you need.
A separate fuel pump is also required, perhaps it's installed on your truck...

 

[BKubu]

Bjorn, yeah, that is the same switch that is in my cab, although there is no guarantee that mine works. I believe that the fuel pump is there, although I have not looked for it yet. Thanks for the response.

Bruce I have brand new heater for $300 ....complete with pump and switch and harness assy... pm me at rampartsllc@aol.com

 

[cranetruck]

ACE, you wouldn't have rebuild kits for the fuel control valves, would you?

 

[citizensoldier]

Hi Bjorn.
Would the model you mentioned be the same as for the M109 van body? I have one that is like new out of a CUCV Ambulance. The exhaust comes out in the wrong spot to work in my M109.. Bruce maybe it would work for your truck? I will take some pictures and post them later.

 

[BKubu]

RAM: I'll take it! PM sent.

 

[cranetruck]

CS, i think the van body version is a 30,000 BTU version, pictures will tell.

 

[citizensoldier]

This is the one I have

This one is supposably from a CUCV ambulance? Exhaust comes out the bottom so I would have to cut another hole in the van to make it work?
The numbers on it are M46792/2-1 Multifuel
No BTU's labeled..

RE: This is the one I have

Looks like a 30,000 BTU heater and pretty complete too.
In my picture below, the unit on the left is a 20,000 BTU heater and the other two are 30,000.

RE: This is the one I have

I might just try and make it work in my van. But I keep holding out thinking I will find the exact one with the shelf and exhaust for it. I am also missing the convertor box that runs this heater and the exhaust fan in the back of the truck.
If anyone out there can use this one make me a offer... It is like new just dusty from sitting around the shop.

RE: This is the one I have

Hey Lane, got any controls layin around? I have a heater too but not the box with the switches.

 

[BKubu]

Lane, you need the exhaust fan from an M109A3? Contact Winslow in NC...he has residue shop vans and I am almost positive I saw the small exhaust fan in one of them.

 

[gimpyrobb]

Bruce, I think Lane is wanting the shelf and exhaust stack for the 109 fuel fired heater.
