I need a new furnace as I have an oil fired Arcoleader 45 year old cast iron with a tankless water heater. Size is 75 Mbh.  I saw an ad for a cast iron Crown Boiler with a Carlin oil burner for $2700  with free delivery. (TWZ075) Same size, etc. I will install myself as I have done a few of those jobs. I will need some brute help as it weighs 500lbs & must go into my basement. I realize you must be biased since you are in the business, but what would you think of this deal? I appreciate your opinion.

Too bad they don't make Arcoleaders anymore. They have overdone the  miniturzation of boilers & due to casting failures have had to start going the other way in size.(What's that make?) If this leaks, I know how to remove a section with push nipples, not that hard, just time consuming. Thanks for your confidance. FritzK
