    The strainer is a water filter. It is big bucks. the Wix you found doesn't look like the OEM item. I may be able to hook you up with a used one. Jerry

    Anyone know what this VR board fits?

    Thanks all. So I guess all 4 of my boards are correct for their intended applications. I'm glad I happened to notice the difference in them and didn't send out an inappropriate board. Because the board was loose in the 003a when I got it last year, I suspected someone stuck something...

    HUH? I checked my other working 002a's and they both have the 72-5338 board in them. Wonder why they work?:shock:

    Anyone know what this VR board fits?

    A few weeks ago I posted pics of a VR board asking if there was a way to tell if it was functional. No one noticed anything unusual about it. This board came out of my parts MEP-003a but was in there loose when I got it. Today I pulled a board from my parts 002a and they are nothing alike...

    MEP-002A Hidden battery "jumper" cable

    Frustrating oil leak Mep-002a gear cover and oil seal

    thanks. i tried the gentle tap but will try again with a bigger gear puller (if i can find one) that doesn't rely on the small bolt pattern 5/16', i think. too light for the job and puller's bolts pulled the threads out of the fan.
