Peter - If I can find it I have the Garwood book and a few other books that will help identify the right engine. Remind me on Saturday. ----- Original Message ----- From: sammie smith To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, December 11, 2007 6:11 PM Subject: [tcb] Re: Fresh Air Heat One further note: A great place to look for things "correct" is the original owner's manuals. The samba has lots of these things in the archives and very readable with photos. The only thing you have to watch for is a lot of times the photos taken and printed in the manual for inforation purposes may be of the prior year model which was all that was available when they were shooting the photos. Also, for absolute authority on the Type I go to Garwoods books. sammie smith <bugcollections@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Peter: As for as I know the shroud for the 36 and bastard 40 are the same. I'm just not sure about the stale air 40 that came out just after the bastard 40. And I may have at least some pieces of heater boxes for the stale 40. I know I have some air cleaners if you can figure out which is correct for the 62. I have the early spin on type correct for the 36 bus and I think the bastard 40. I also have the clamp on style which I think is correct for the stale air 40 and then have the later clamp on style that has the preheater extension and accepts the hose which I think is correct for the fresh air 40. I also have an aftermarket stale air 40 horse bus muffler NOS but if it were me I would use the correct German one.

I need to check the 36hp fan shrown and compare it to a Bastard 40 and Stail Air 40. What else do you have for a correct '62 stale air engine. I am negotiating on a couple of 5 and 6 serial number engines, and I'd rather buy from TCBers than not.

Does 62 have the later style fan shroud without the heater hoses or the 36 style fan shroud? I can't remember. By the way: I have some correct air cleaners for that engine.

"perfect" 62 23 window for big bucks shows fresh air heat in this 62 bus. Fresh air heat did not come out on the Type I till into the 63 model year (i.e., early 63s still had stale air heat). So is fresh air heat correct for a 62 Type II? I think not but am still researching for a correct answer.
