Try putting 151594649064 into your favorite search engine.I didn't think you would drive a car that was that old and out of date, so why do you want a toilet that is 50 years out of date? Especially one that is broken?
Don't pay any attention to the folks on here who, because they are supposedly professionals, have no tact at all if they're not in complete agreement with you. I also have something of a toilet preoccupation or fascination or whatever you want to call it and have taken more than my share of flack about it. I personally prefer American Standard over Toto, as is my right and privilege, but I feel like I've committed sacrilege if I express my views. In case you're interested, I have a NOS Kohler Wellworth elongated from around 1980 in Fresh Green, with a Bemis Color Match seat. I hooked it up long enough to test it. The tank internals were degraded from years of storage so they have been upgraded. I'll sell it but it's not cheap!
I'm new to this forum & have been searching the Internet to try & locate a replacement for my 1976 fresh green toilet. I think the toilet bowl is in pretty good condition but my problem was a leaking tank. I know very little about plumbing- so I had a plumber come to take a look. He took the tank & toliet apart & found a hairline crack in the bottom of the tank. It's on the outside not inside of the tank & doesn't appear to go all the way through. I asked if it could be repaired & he said no. The crack isn't huge- with all the chemical compounds these days I just don't understand why epoxy wouldn't work. The inside tank components were working but need replaced & no one around here seems interested in helping me. The answer I've received when I've asked is "just buy a new white toilet." Well the sink & tub are also fresh green & I like for things to match. There are no chips or cracks in the lid or bowl. I see where you said you have a fresh green Kohler- do you still have it? Or do you have any experience patching hairline cracks in the outside bottom of the tank?
As long as the crack doesn't extend to the area of the bolt holes, I don't see why you can't repair it. The fact that it's leaking indicates that the crack goes all the way through, even though not necessarily visible on the inside.I'm new to this forum & have been searching the Internet to try & locate a replacement for my 1976 fresh green toilet.
