Going to revive this thread. Getting ready to get the 3a out of the barn and I will once again beat myself up for not getting a replacement valve. I don't know if Joe still has an interest, but please let me know if you do. Maybe we can overwhelm him with requests.

If you are going to use the HY-LO Jeep pump to control your Newgren, you won't need the control valve. You will use the one on the HY-LO. But we can keep this between us and maybe Joe will decide to make a repro for those using the valve and reservoir tank. Barry

Barry,
After this weekend of learning what my lift is missing at the willys reunion, please put me down for a valve. I’d like a nonleaker please. Bill

Thanks! I have you, sandusky and a few others who have replied here, but still need a few more. Joe is extremely busy at the shop - a good thing - and we need to make sure we can make it worth his time. Sure wish I had started a Newgren registry. I have to believe that just about every owner could use a new control valve. I'm trying to dig through my messages for the names of owners I haven't seen here. If you have know of any Newgren owners, I'd appreciate it if you could give them a shout and see if they might be interested too. Barry

Thank you for the response. Getting close to the point that might make it worthwhile for Joe to do all the required work. Need to hear from all those Newgren owners who need a valve! Barry

Joe and I are still gauging interest. Not sure how to contact the Newgren owners out there who don't frequent the board. If you know someone who might be interested, please ask them to contact me at barry @ farmjeep.com (no spaces).
Thanks Barry

I would be interested in a valve also. I would prefer original design as I don’t care if it leaks a little. Everything else in the barn does also. I am however also pursuing having a guy I work with look at the feasibility and costs of reproducing the entire valve and control arm assembly. I don’t want to take away any work from Joe so I will be in contact with him and Barry as I know more. Thanks for working on this. It’s the last part I need to get to have my lift complete. Just need the rest of the Jeep to get completed!

I'd be happy with a non leaker even if does not look the way it should.

Hope to hear from those of you who have expressed an interest here. Please let Joe know your design preference.

You are too kind Joe. This is just the kind of discussion that we should have had if I hadn't jumped the gun. I'll start with my own view. I've spent a number of years trying to find a fix for the leaking valve that would maintain the "between the seats" and rear control lever. The valve itself won't ever be seen by the vast majority of people. I have had a few engineer types crawl under the Jeep at shows, but that is rare. So I'm for function over the original design. I have to believe that the Newgren engineers would agree with such a change. Look forward to hearing from others. Barry

You're all good Barry. I've been pretty busy trying to keep other projects moving forward in the shop so I've been sitting back marking time gauging interest. I'd really like to see around 10 people or so have interest to get the cost of this reasonable... both monetarily and time expended.
I've given this project some thought and I'm concern about how happy people will be with the final product... as there is going to have to be a compromise between living with the original design that inherently leaks, or some thing that is noticeably larger than the original but doesn't leak. Here's the problem. The valve leaks by design because there isn't any provision for a seal as the casting is too small to accommodate that. So the dilemma is... are people more interested in having a replacement part that looks exactly like the original and leaks, or would people like to see a larger casting that would give room for a seal? Something else to consider... If I make a larger valve body casting then I may have to change the aluminum actuator arm and/or the side plates that link it to the valve body. |

to many jeeps, parts, and accessories to list here, but apparently enough to keep me in trouble with my wife. |
