model 50 uniflow valve

[Saša]

Pozdrav svima,
dozvolite mi da se predstavim. Moje ime je Saša, bavim se ribolovom i ronjenjem u Hrvatskoj, na Jadranu, jednom od najljepših mora na svijetu. Radim s brodom Grand Banks 42 ft clasic izgrađenim 1978. s dva Ford Lehmana, svaki od 89 kW /120 KS. Ja zapravo živim na ovom plovilu i trudim se održati ga u autentičnom obliku. Pronašao sam vaš forum tražeći hidrauličku komponentu na internetu, a to je jednoprotočni ventil modela 50. Htio bih kupiti isti, makar i neispravan, pa da rekonstruiram svoj.

Ako ikome od vas mogu pomoći svojim iskustvom, stojim na raspolaganju

Hello everyone, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Saša, I do fishing and diving in Croatia, on the Adriatic, one of the most beautiful seas in the world. I am working with a Grand Banks 42 ft clasic boat built in 1978 with two Ford Lehmans, each 89 kW /120 hp. I actually live on this vessel and I try to keep it in its authentic form. I found your forum by searching the internet for a hydraulic component, it is a model 50 single flow valve. I would like to buy the same one, even if it is defective, so that I can rebuild mine.

If I can help any of you with my experience, I am available

Thanks for the detailed answer, it certainly helps me. However, in my case, the problem is in the aluminum valve housing itself. As a result of corrosion and galvanic current, oil leaks at the junction of the base of the housing and the pipe fittings. I would like to get an aluminum case that is in better condition than mine.

I almost never see Uniflo 50’s for sale. It was by far the weak link in the system. I say almost because I did See one for sale on Craigslist some 8 years ago.

A few years ago I got a #50 Uniflow through Ebay. It took a while using Ebays watch function after filling in the required info, the actual model info.

Look them up and fill in the info and be prepaired to wait a while.

The mfgr. will not make parts for repairs anymore. I went out to see them, close to 20 yrs ago, and they said it was not worth their effort to set all the machines up .
