Vintage Beaver
Mandy Canales:
Wayne...I had the same problem with the hydraulic fan motor back several years ago and first tried to put a rebuild kit in it but it didn't do the job. The hydraulic mechanic said he would track a fan motor down and found one out of a hydraulic shop in North Carolina, I went through Agri-Con Hydraulics here in Hesperia, CA (760-947-4417). I ended up buying a WEBSTER 95014 motor for my 1990 Beaver Marquis.. I would think that most farm equipment that handles hydraulics could reference that number and help you out. If not, give Agri-Con Hydraulics a call to see if they know where they ordered mine from in NC. Good luck to you, That '93 coach was one of the best Beaver Coach made, beautiful and strong. That 3176 Cat engine was the precurser of the newer C series engines.

As an aside Wally and Iris Schmidt's relative just purchased Fred and Claire Oehms 36 ft 91 Contessa so you may be able to contact them and chat with that new owner about the coaches. :) There are several Beaver owners who live in Ohio and some may be near you
Joe Lenhart:
Iris contacted me a while back before her relative went to look at the 91 Contessa. I was glad to hear they bought it. Nice to keep another classic Beaver on the road.

Joe,
One word of caution, your fabric wall coverings are glued to a wood backing, so be very cautious when using steam on the wall. Too much moisture into the wall can cause the under-laying wood to warp or cause the glue to fail.
Gerald
Joe Lenhart:
Thanks for the advice Gerald. The steam cleaner does have a built in vacuum. I think I will try some area that is hidden and see just how wet the wall fabric is after use. I sure don't want the glue to fail under the fabric on the walls or ceiling. I want to clean the entire coach top to bottom and was just looking for a way to clean the ceiling and walls to get what I am sure is a lot of dust and grim out after all these years.
