Tiffin Aire Parts

I meant to do this a long time ago, sorry for the delay.  I'll put the Air horse modified axles and hubs in this post followed buy the rest of the parts from Tiffin.  It will take about 7-8 posts at 8 pics each.  

Most everything pertains to automatics whether it be decals, hydro parts, or what it takes for an Air Horse itself.  Most all parts are also Wheel Horse/Toro parts or parts made by Tiffin to make the Air horse what it is.

 

Here it is from the beginning.  The sorting and what it took a week to do.  Verifying parts and part numbers, blasting some things, rebagging things, integrating it with my parts dept, and finding a place to put it all...  

Some parts were few, some parts were in the hundred or better range.  According to most of the inventory tags it looks like the last inventory they took was in 1985 so they have had these parts for 40 years or longer.  They were founded in 1968 so they have been around for 58+ years, and I have a 1970 Air Horse in the shop right now so it's one of the first things they did.  Most parts are NOS and discontinued, and some things are pretty rare to find NOS so I'm very happy to have been blessed with this buyout.  

They didn't just do the small Air Tugs.  They are also an FAA Certified Repair Station.  From their local county page -

Most of the rest of the posts are just pics of the progression.

There are some things I'm not quite sure what they are and some didn't get in the pics but a lot of it is the 8 or so posts above.  Most of the Air Horse only parts were put on a rolling shelf like axles, hubs, keys, hydro and cylinder rebuilding kits, pressure changing kits and so on.  

So there it is, one more thing done as mentioned earlier and another thing off of my list of things to do.
