    Front ends of heat exchanger tubes rusted

    I just moved into my rental house (long story :P) which has a propane and a wood furnace, forced hot air. They are both connected to the ducting with a flap to select one or the other.

    Unfortunately the wood furnace had never been properly maintained, and small leaks of hot exhaust gases over time have corroded the ends of the heat exchanger tubes to the point where the cover (cleanout) plates will not seal. In fact somebody tried to use RTV previously!

    So I am trying to find a source of new parts (at this point I'd rather just replace the heat exchanger than spend hours and $$$ having custom welding/fabrication done). I live in a rural area (West Plains, MO) and can't locate anyone who can help.

    Any ideas welcome. In the meantime, guess I'll be heating with the propane!
