Vortex PTO Soleniod Needed...

[Carpet Cleaning Fool]

Mine is a goner!!!

Anyone got a source for one that isn't going to cost me $400?

Thanks!

Who wants $400 Blueline or your local Parker store?

How much does AT get for it?

Thanks Mike!

Left a message for Ted at Aero Tech, and Parker Store is tracking down the part now.

i wrote the part # down before the Vortex manuals went off-line. !gotcha!

It's a Parker Hydrolic Valve for a Chelsea PTO part # 379686.

My local Blueline disty said it was $385.00 +. Hoping to save a few bucks cuz I've already spend my Mikeyfest budget on vortex repairs. :-(

I figure it's best I stay away from the festivities anyhow... I get a little crazy sometimes.

Bumped my head once too often i guess...

But I'm working hard to become a kinder, gentler, carpet cleaning fool...

At the time I replaced mine AT was the cheapest I could find.....

Head bumps are cumilative, George...so you will need to wear a helmet at MikeFest!

Found it!!!

Parker Store $164 plus next day air... I'll have it in my hands friday.

Looks like I'll be scrubbing rugs and turning wrenches while the rest of you are enjoying mikeyfest...

Thanks Jimbo!!! I'm looking for a helmet with a drool cup and a picture of Barney the Dinosour on it.

Enjoy!!!

i wonder if that is why they pulled the manual so you couldn't get the parts manual.

$164 for the same part a disty wants $385 for???

and they wonder why we price shop.. :roll:


..L.T.A.

It gets better!

Aerotech called and Ted has the part for only $156.00.

It doesn't stop there.

You know vortex proprietary heat tranfer fluid called Xentherm? The disty wants $500 for five gallons. I order it myself from dynalene for half price.

Thinking my next truck will be Aerotech!!!

We're being punished for Shawn's sins I guess.

i believe this would work at half the price.

not sure that will work..no way to exhaust the air that I can see....it is a fluid valve not an air valve.......

Installed the new valve last night.

Hopefully it will fix the "rpm up & down" problem once and for all.

Thought the fuel system tune up a few weeks ago fixed the problem but I was wrong.

I keep you posted.
