    Good Luck or Bad?

    A recent post reminded me of this story that I read in Way of the Peaceful Warrior. That book flipped my whole script! An old man and his son worked a small farm, with only one horse to pull the plow. One day, the horse ran away. "How terrible," sympathized the neighbors. "What bad...

    RPM up and up

    The rpm on my engine wanders upward while I'm working also when I first turn it on it will be high. My guess is worn governor spring but I was wondering if this sounds like anything else? Thanks

    Unloader - over pressure, no flow

    I have the green spring unloader, run 9-10 gpm, bypass to tank. I turned the machine on and the pressure gauge on the head goes to 4500 psi, gun closed!? Turned it off and it didn't happen again. This happened before a long time ago when I let off the gun the pressure would shoot up instead of...

    Exploding Swivel!

    I have always used these swivels, they swivel like no other, smooth as butter. They're under 30 bucks and the rebuild is like 6 or 8. They don't really have a brand but I think you can recognize it, a lot of people carry them. But for the second time in maybe 8 years I had one 'explode'. Sounds...

    Fastest Powerwashers Ever

    I was driving by a property (that I had just lost to a company offering consolidated services) and I saw a rig so I pulled in to see. Truck, trailer, one machine one guy on wand - I thought, until the truck started moving! That truck wasn't even in park! They had maybe a 200-250gal tank, not...

    Burner/food warmer

    Had a nice slice of pizz wrapped in tinfoil, kept it cold all night in the ice chest then tossed it on top of the burner wrap on the blower side and had a delicious, hot and melty snack :dance3: Anyone else warm up their lunch on top of the burner? We were talking about throwing some flank...

    Mosmatic Swivel Video

    Just messing around, thought I'd post this video of a dyc swivel taken apart. Forgot to mention the sealed bearing slides off, doesn't need a press. It didn't look like other brands have the ball bearings in the bottom? The shaft has a stout steel circular plate around it that sits on top of the...

    3600 rpm air cooled v twin diesel 22hp

    This is on ebay with an attatched transmission - would love to make a buggy out of it! I haven't seen too many of these, basically a standard v-twin that runs fast on diesel. I don't know if they have the same advantages but this is pretty cheap $1700...

    Colored Concrete Dumpster Pad

    Nice restaurant actually, this dumpster is shared with residents. It's one of the only places in Tucson that has retail and residential together - restaurants and shops 1st floor, condos above and behind. A company came in to the state to make biodiesel commercially (I think they may be state...

    The American Way!

    A great speech given on Patriots Day http://pagenine.typepad.com/page_nine/2009/05/the-american-way.html#more "The American Way is hard work. It is keeping the benefits of your hard work. It is ownership of private property, and the sanctity of a contract between people. It is the idea that...

    Pump Drip

    Last week I noticed a tiny drip from my tsf 2221, ordered packings and put them in today. Tonight - same drip! I'm at a loss now. The drip did get better as the night went on. I don't really know where to go next, I'm hoping the packing is 'seating' itself and it will just go away. What could I...

    Flow Unloaders

    On the K7 unloaders there are two nozzles in the output side that are about 3 mm. I consider that a restriction but I dont know if it matters or not. Is a flow unloader more restrictive, is it harder to push water through than a pressuretrap? http://www.generalpump.com/PDFs/ZK7-Unloader.pdf

    Lightest Pressure Hose?

    I am going to buy 1/2" inch hose and I thought I would look for lightweight. I bought one hose recently that was a featherweight, lightest thinnest hose I have seen but I don't know who makes it or where to get another one. It has a wrapped 'look' cover and says 4000 PSI PRESSURE WASHER HOSE...

    email for invoices, proposals ?

    I currently do everything by fax and the files from the program I use don't seem to work as attatchments on email. Is email standard now? Do you prefer it, pros and cons? Do you send as attatchments, and what format?
