Keystoker A-300 Questions

Good day to everyone.

I have a few questions that hopefully someone can help me on. I recently bought a used Keystoker A-300 warm air furnace for $500. It's in good shape, but the sheet metal needs to be repainted in some spots, and the sheet metal floor on it needs to be replaced. Bottom line, did I get a good deal on it?

Second question--It was listed as an A-200 furnace, but when I got there (I had to travel 3 hours away to pick it up), realized that it was an A-300! My question is--If I intended to use an A-200 furnace (I have about 4000 SF to heat in a three story home), will the A-300 be fine as well? I realize it may be overkill, but I have it and intend to use it--just hope it won't cause any issues.

Third question--Any advice on what I should look for while I have the thing apart and working on it? Just wondering if there are signs to look for or things that should be done before reassembling the unit.

All I know is that I have an extremely heavy furnace in the back of my truck right now, and hopefully within a month I can have it installed.

I truly appreciate any help I can. I'm new to the forum, and intend to visit it often.

Thanks in advance!

I think that is a 300K BTU output, for your 4000 Sq. Ft., I don't think it would be overkill. Then you don't have to push it hard to get the heat out of it. You might only have to run it 1/4-1/2 full burn to satisfy your heating needs, but have the extra if really needed when it gets really cold.

Sounds like a smoking deal for that price!! Even it is needs a little TLC, should not be a problem. most parts should be available online somewhere.

Post some pics,

Clean the blowers, stoker, etc... really good, make sure everything works as intended, and you should be good to go!
