AA 130 Install

Well I was finally able to get wire run today and I am almost ready to fire old rusty up.
Does anyone know what size belts the 130 takes. I am headed to tractor supply shortly if not I will get a few sizes.

I'll bet Stoker Don knows the size. Try to get the green AG belts, they will last a very long time. Cheap belts won't as the AAs like them loose and they tend to flagellate themselves.

In the manual, B370 are the belts. They are listed as "V belt 33" outside length".

Are they both the same?

YUP!

Also, they are 1/2" belts.

Thanks for the information. I found my parts book shortly after I posted this. Well I got the belts put on. Found an Anthrastat on the 260 that I have sitting by the 130 going into service so I put that on. Got electricity to the unit and turned it on. The motor comes on but will not maintain speed

. Oh well tomorrow is another day I have a spare 1/3 hp fan motor here at the house. I guess the original motor that was never in service sat too long.

Nice! I read that you got 4 of them for scrap price in 2016. Do you still have all of them??

Lee I sold 2 of them. I have one that is in poor shape. Has a date of 58 or 59 on it. I picked up another 130 at the scrap yard that is complete and I have a 260 for future plans. Do you need parts?

I don't need parts per say, but it would be nice to have some spare parts or at least know somebody that might have parts if mine was to break down for whatever reason...

If you need something down the road give a shout.

Don isn’t that the truth. I am going to put a coat of oil on it for now. I want to be sure it heats the house first. I have a AA260 sitting in the building too if I need to go bigger.

Well we are burning for almost a week. I have gotten 2 full ash tubs out thus far. I have a lot of fines in the coal I got from Lenig’s. I will not get coal from there again. This coal turns to mostly dust it seems.
I am very happy with the Axeman so far.
Aquastat is set at 160-180
Anthrastat 130 F
