Well folks got the new B&G pump today, got'er all hook up. Bam! Pump HOT water as I type this
See attached shot of new pump.
Big props to the folks that helped me out on this especially ITO, Twilson1152, Scott7M, Willie G (yoder heating), RSI.
I'll be hanging around the site, just to see what else is here, but as of now I'm heating.

Local Grainger is about an hour away. Decided to double check to make sure I have enough "pump" 
.
From the looks of it I will have plenty if I go with the exact same pump. Did some searching around and found
the pump almost $60 bucks cheaper from an on-line place that looked pretty reputable.
Just glad that all the issues I'm having are in the spring and not the dead of winter.
Stay tuned.

Good call, I'll have to do that just to double check, Grainger didn't have one in stock at my local, so I'm in limbo as of right now.
Stay tuned.
Again, I appreciate all the help here, you folks kick a$$!

Hi Scott7m,
was just going to get the exact same pump that was in there. I don't think the previous owners had problems
moving water.
Is there a good way to measure which one may be best?

Well gentlemen, all the information certainly did help to get all
the air out of the lines, but something was a miss I still wasn't getting any
water to move past the flange on the outlet of the pump.
Here's the scoop apparently what I thought was the pump running was truly
that the pump MOTOR running, but the shaft on the impeller was snapped. See attached pic.
So off to Grainger in the morning I go. This I believe should be the last step in the process.

Ran out of time yesterday to try and fix 'er up, so I'll be out today in between bouts of heavy rain.
Here's a picture of the set-up that is running in the back of the OWB.

There is always a possibility the HX is getting clogged, but I just had it installed about 2 weeks ago,
everything seemed to be flowing through it before it was installed, this is a new start up, So I'm going
to check for air lock in the lines. I'll keep everyone update.
Thanks for the help all.

Hi willieG (harley reference?)
Thanks for the reply. Checked the pump yesterday(undid the line going into the house, turned pump on
and had water flow.) I can take a few pictures of the set up, and post here if that would help, get this
problem figured out.
Here's another thing I found. Pipes are warm at the OWB and at the HX, but cool in between (thinking
they are warm at the HX because the back up propane heat is blowing on the HX.)

Good morning all. Let me start by saying thank you for have a place full of information about OWBs.
Here's the scoop.
Bought a Timberwolf5000 second hand from a couple that moved into home (now they are using geothermal).
After spending my sweet a$$ time hooking it up over the past couple months. I finally have a system that I
believe should produce comfortable heat for years to come.
Here's the dilemma, I'm now facing.
No heat is coming through my vents, only cool air
The water at the boiler is about 180 degrees.
The pump seems to be working properly.
I have a tstat that controls both the OWB, and a propane back-up.
Any help or tips on getting this thing rolling would be excellent.
Thank you in advance.
