nicklepickle Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I'm having some trouble tracking down a part. It's a duel foot valve for the air brakes. The number on the valve itself is T-239649-C but it has no indication of the manufacturer. The truck is a '74 MB400. Is there a field repair or rebuild kit for these things?Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're talking safety here and it is not to be compromised by trying to repair it yourself, however simple it may seem. You won't spend a hundred bucks on a replacement. The parts vendor will know by looking at it instantly.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

vanscottbuilders Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 That treadle valve is most likely a Bendix E-6 style.It would be prior to anti-lock plumbing I think.Rob is right - don't monkey around, take out the original,get it to someone who knows and exchange it fora fresh one.You can usually find these valves on E-Bay at prettyreduced prices - just be certain you know what you needand what you are buying.Paul Van Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
