When I drive the 100 miles back to my other home in Pittsboro, NC, I always
check on Craig's List to see what may be for sale near the route. Today I
found a 6.0 Power Drawer without the drawer, but the front cover with 6.0
on it is with it, no starter, and a box of parts and mounts. I also have a
4.0 Power Dawer that is complete.

I found the 6.0 Operator's Manual and Parts Catalog on line and printed it
out, but I did not find the similar 4.0 Document. What I really need to
know is which parts are interchangeable. Are the drawers interchangeable?
Are the control panels interchangeable? How similar are the engines. I
will not be back to my shop where the 4.0 is until next week.

Does anyone know where I can find a 4.0 Operator's and Parts manual on the
Internet?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Henry

Henry,

For a manual:http://www.bdub.net/manuals/index.html

There is very little that is common between the BF (4.0) and NH (6.0) Onans.
But if you are willing to bring them to a rally, Ken Burton would like a non-cracked flywheel and I know someone that needs a field.

I am too far from the rally, but if your friends need these parts for a
6.0, tell them to give me a call. I think I am going to try to get the 4.0
running. You are right -- similarities seem to be minor.

Henry,

I'm in Atlanta and plan on going to Bean Station. If you get requests for parts I'd be more then happy to run up to SC, get the parts and tote them to Bean Station for anyone that could pick the parts up at the rally.

Thanks, George, for your generous offer. I am in Atlanta frequently as my
son, Dr. Henry Blair III, is an oral surgeon with Atlanta Oral and Facial
Surgery. I lived in Atlanta from 1987 to 2010. I will gladly take the
parts to you in Atlanta if there is any interest. Pictures will be
available soon.

I just looked up Bean Station, TN, and saw that it is only about 5 hours
from Bethune. When is the event, and how large is it. In the next year I
plan to buy a GMC motor home. I will want restored to a high level as I
have found that buying one like that gets the restoration for pennies on
the dollar. If there will be a number of motor homes there, i may go for
the education.
