I am Ukraine solder, and we using coleman 425f. I want to tell you thank you. Yours stove is super. We cook on it ewery day for 10 solders and it works great. Nice devise, much more safety, stable than USSR stoves... Thank you for yours works and very informative videos... 👍

@citomp1240 Год назад

After finding your channel I ordered a bunch of used Coleman stuff from ebay. Then rebuilt them, it was very good therapy for me. I really enjoyed getting them working again.

@v73z17 18 дней назад

Just want to say thank you for this video. I was able to get a 1967 Coleman 502 for 50 bucks and with your guidance I disassembled it, fixed the pump cap, changed the gasket, cleaned the generator and now it runs like new. It was really easy to follow along. Clear and simple instructions plus the calm manner of Frank made for nice project.

I'd like to mention: your camera person does an excellent job. always focuses on the task at hand but knows when to back out for your instruction/face shots. no fumbling either.

I had an old Coleman stove that I purchased for 30 bucks. Moved to South Carolina then back to Kansas. Completely forgot it in South Carolina. Fortunately, a family member lives there and now they are a proud owner of my old Coleman stove. Went to Cabelas a purchased the new Coleman duel fuel. Took it home and took it out. Well, I put it back into the box and returned it. Was extremely cheaply made. Said to see such a former great product fall so far.

I've been collecting Coleman lanterns etc.for 36 year's started when I was in my teens,I love taking them apart and reassembling them and making them as good as new,, I'm glad I found you,never knew about the check valve tool, GOTTA GET ONE THOSE! also I agree with you on the rubber pump cups( WORTHLESS) I TRY TO GO BACK WITH LEATHER! I always look for Coleman lanterns at yard sales etc. Lucked up on one at the local dump one day(free) man throwed it away just because the cap leaked! I brought it home, repaired it and it works great! There's no telling how many get SCRAPPED OVER SIMPLE PROBLEMS! AND THAT'S SAD!

Cleaning out my gf's storage shed I found a 500 Single burner stove, mfg date 6/60. I watched your video on rebuilding a few times. I was worried about the 3 screws that hold the tin cover and the burner plates. I was even more worried after listening to how it was not so easy for you to get them off, even after the electrolysis bath etc. Well I got pretty lucky I used PB Blaster and soaked the bolts for 3 days and dang the bolts came out 1 was easier than the other on the burner plates and the penetrant got into the threads. I just wanted to say that your videos are very informative and sooo helpful. Keep up the good work

@kevinburgess6112 2 года назад

what a wonderful video, my friend ,you definitely found your calling when you purchased the coleman collection which from what you said kinda got your coleman fever started. btw, i agree with the camera person, it was funny loosing the screwdriver. I think she had a lil bit of the giggles after that. You guys make a great team putting these videos together and there sure are a lot of us watching that sure do appreciate them.

@kimwarfield1587 2 года назад

I have three oil lamps I like to use. I was always curious when I saw Coleman Lanterns. My friend has every Aladdin lamp ever made. He started the patio heater service that use to supply all the heaters to businesses in San Diego and LA. I was the service man for those heaters. Watching you work on Lanterns has made me want to buy an Coleman Lantern. I love working on equipment and miss working on patio heaters. Since I like the light given off by fuel lamps, having a Coleman seems like the thing for me to do. I liked my uncle using his when we went fishing in Indiana. Using your videos I will be able to correctly maintain the lanterns I buy. Again, glad you decided to post these great videos.

@thomasnagorski1683 Год назад

FYI : The burner bowl on my 502 would not budge. I tried all types of penetrating oil and heat with no results, even after months of applications. My pliers did not provide enough grip on the bowl and created a risk of crushing it. An old fashioned jar lit remover works great for gripping the bowl but didn't provide enough purchase. The solution : I found a piece of pipe the same diameter as the spacing for the 3 screws on the burner cap. I made 3 notches on one end of the pipe to bear against the 3 screws. The other end of the pipe was drilled to take a rod as a handle. Next, I removed the screws, burner cap, and burner rings. I found two fender washers the same diameter as the burner rings. Three holes were drilled in these washers to match the burner cap. Now, install washers and burner cap back onto the burner bowl (omit the burner rings). Finally, I screwed blocks on a board to keep the stove base secure. A taller piece of wood was mounted for the Bunsen to press against while turning the burner bowl. Secure the board as appropriate. The burner cap and burner rings do not need to be removed to unscrew the burner bowl. That is done to provide easier access to the bowl. With the two washers under the burner cap, the burner bowl is strengthened and the force on the pipe is more evenly distributed. From here, I simply applied firm downward pressure on the pipe while applying gentle pressure on about 18" of handle. After months of effort the burner bowl was off! If you're stuck for a solution, give this a try.

As all ways Great Video I have learned so much from you Frank an never have I been more informed . It is with out adopt that I feel like I am in the Coleman rebuilder class that used to be offered . Mr. Coleman should be so Honored that knowledge like this be passed down to every on that has bought or be gifted one of the very simple appliances . New to the GREEN fever have just recently got a 1956 200a back to working order after watching the series on how to rebuild it THANK YOU AN ( OLD TOWN COLEMAN PARTS ) for all you do.

@JerkRice 2 года назад

Another awesome video! Sometime could you do a short video on how to de-fuel your stove/lantern and store it for the off season? Thanks for all the work you put into these videos.

@OldTownColeman 2 года назад

Yes sir, I could do that. Until then, 5 easy steps: 1) drain all fuel 2) open valve all the way 3) open check valve and pump a couple of times 4) swirl a bit of alcohol around inside the fount and pour it out, and 5) allow inside of fount to air-dry with cap off. Intent is to remove 100% of the liquid from the appliance...opening valve will allow any fuel above the stem to drain back out and/or air dry. Pump action will ensure no fuel is on the other side of the check valve. Once the fount has dried loosely install filler cap and store.

@JerkRice 2 года назад

@@OldTownColeman Thank you. I would love to see how you get all of the fuel out of the font without spilling it all over the place.

@OldTownColeman 2 года назад

I use a very-wide mouthed funnel. It is large enough to catch all the drips when you shake the fount.

@blackdogbite Год назад

Hey thanks again Frank for sharing your knowledge. Problem....the first 7/16" brass nut you take off the regulator valve stem.... there's no way to get that off with a regular open end wrench! There's too little space!

@sherrieaugusta3160 Год назад

I've owned my 502 for at least 25 years the only thing i've had to do is replace the leather once. This year I pulled in out and it wouldn't light. Found your video and it's just what I was looking for. I can manage everything you mentioned just fine except the check valve,. I don't want to risk stripping it out without the correct tool. It's still holding pressure fine is it absolutely necessary to remove the valve, I think my problem is in the cleaner and burner parts.

@crabtrap 2 года назад

I have seen some real rusted abused 502's. If you soak the bowl/reflector...the plating comes back nicely. The bowl should not get painted as that takes away reflected heat transfer to pans/pots. PS, that penetrating spray days before hand should be considered mandatory!

@OldTownColeman 2 года назад

Oh yes sir, I have had to soak them for a number of days for that burner bowl/Bunsen junction to break free.

@craigclark6922 Год назад

I noticed that you didn't show how to completely disassemble the 500 stove where the pickup tube attaches to the tank. How did you get the round shield off the burn lever?

@patrickborgerding8681 2 года назад

The carburetor cleaner was a great tip! Thanks! I have a weird problem with my 425F stove. With lighting lever up, the stove won’t light. Have to light initially with lever down and then put lever up after a few seconds. After the prescribed time can put the lever down again and proceed with cooking. All else works well. Do you have any advice? I’m a bit sentimental about this stove and would like to keep it. Thanks for your help!
