| | | | Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 36 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 36 | i've got a 53 chevy 3100,1/2 ton pickup with a dual shaft 12 volt heater motor. the heater housing has got the name Arvin, with the numbers 59 underneath it.
It's a perfect fit but the motor went out. it has been working just fine. i guess old age finally got it. all connections and fuse checks out. still has power to switch. i need to find another dual shaft motor. any ideas, where?
yes, wiring has been updated to 12v. don't know how to post a picture of it here. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2009 Posts: 1,644 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2009 Posts: 1,644 | Did you bench test with a 12 volt charger? You can cross referance at you're FLAPS they should have a book with specs.

Got to a tractor place or a big semi truck repair/parts place. Those use those dual shaft motors in a lot of applications. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 36 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 36 | | | | | | Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 1,061 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 1,061 | I have the same kind of motor. They are very hard to find. You may have to have it rebuilt. Mine is in for the second time. If you find a source for a new one, please let me know.

Also, lots of tractors with air conditioning use them. Coach builders for school buses and RV's use them. Semi trucks use them.
Got to find someone that will look in a book with blower motors illustrations and measurements instead of trying to look it up by application on the computer.
Sources: Local parts stores, tractor repair and truck repair centers, RV repair shops all should be able to get a dual shaft heater motor easy enough. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 1,636 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 1,636 | Go the following website: www.4s.comChoose the heavy duty catalog and scroll down to page 317. You'll find part numbers, dimensions, wiring, you name it. Get the part number you want and call you local Napa, O'Reilly, if there is a Parts Plus distributor they use the Four Seasons number to order and sell by. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 1,061 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 1,061 | Thanks Roy,I think I found one that looks good. I made the rounds and all I got was blank stares before this.

I spent the last 12 years hunting parts for a living. Some are easy, some take a little effort.
Those numbers should get you somewhere.
