Ritchie waterer question

[Aaron]

Can't find the sheet of specs for our Ritchie Model 3F waterer. Water bowl sprung a leak (pretty well rusted out) and wondering if I can replace the entire upper assembly (bowl, float, float cover, etc.) with one from the new 3E series.

Anyone have the specs on the 3F model?

Get a new. Had one that did the same thing. We got a Hoskins.

The rest of the base is good still. Old Ritchie water bowls weren't stainless steel and this one is at it's limit for rotting out. Just trying to figure out whether is more financially feasible to replace the bowl and accessories or the whole thing. Hoskins don't exist around here and Ritchie is by far the best waterer we have ever had.

We buy our Ritchies in Minnesota. Maybe Denny will see this and chime up if he knows the going price for new Ritchie Cattle Fountains in Minnesota. I know up here they will be $800 plus.
