Odd Corny keg fittings

[homebrewdude76]

These threads are oversized and the dip tube seats down in the center.
It is a Spartanburg/Firestone 10gal with race track lid.

I will use as a fermenter, so I can work with it.
Anyone seen this before?

I have the same threads on my 10 gallon corny. Also, my racetrack lid is smaller than the normal racetrack lid.

This site is helpful. Firestone/Spartanburg kegs are different than other cornies. You can usually find parts on chicompany.net.

This lid does look small. This is my only racetrack keg.
Did you figure out the threads?
I thought maybe pinlock, but the keg threads are larger than that also.

I own 30+ corny/firestone brand kegs.

My keg came with ball lock posts. What's the first picture of?

Your liquid post has a spacer on the dip tube side, so I think you have a Firestone "Challenger" (no V or VI) keg. http://www.chicompany.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=376_1_3_260&products_id=775

My guess is that it's either one of these:
Firestone V Challenger, Firestone VI Challenger, Firestone Super Challenger:
Gas 9/16” – 18 Liquid 5/8” – 18

John Wood 85, Firestone Challenger:
Gas 11/16” -18 Liquid 3/4’’ – 18

I'd take the keg into a hardware store and see if a nut with any of those sizes fit before you order any replacements.

I think it is a John Wood.
I want to use as a fermentor, so I don't need quick connect adapters.

Just something I can attach a blowoff and the other to cap off.

I just added standard QDs to the posts on mine. I drilled out the lid to add a hole for a blowoff and an airlock. I have a backup lid in case I still want to use it as a keg.

I use a spunding valve on mine. My keg has a built in pressure gauge. If your's doesn't and you wanted to go this route, I'd get build one with a pressure gauge on the valve.
