for sure ! Just trying to buy some more time on this old system , I swapped out the motor last night and its been working great all day, he whole boiler should be replaced at some point soon its been in the building since 1971 as near we can tell , I dont think these old Tacos have ever been replaced , they look pretty bad from all the dripping gate valves that drip in the summer when its shut down , but overall the motors are in very good mechanical shape , and the two that are left there run nice and smooth and quiet without leaking , ( I did give them both a good Oiling Last night after I swapped the motor out ) I should add there is a whole pile of the 007s up there that are dead too , there are 9 circulators on the system and 7 of them are 007s , these last two 111-8s are in a tough spot to get at and the old iron pipes are very rusty and I think it would be a big disaster to change them over , I think there is a good reason those old 111-8s are north of 1000 bucks new , they just last and last and last especially if maintained correctly , I also find them pretty easy to maintain I don't actually mind tinkering on things like these at all its a good learning experience Thanks for watching 🙂
I would change out both of those circs to 007 and save these folks some electricity and future service calls.
