We have gone all tailstock w/ handle wheel for belt tensioners. When we start from scratch, it's easy to use what we have from broken lathes or old industrial equipment from auctions. We just got a Landa machine that I'm a little excited about, but I refuse to go back to the old pump rail...

I'm curious about running my engine exhaust through my hot box to add a little extra heat rise...why waste the heat? We have operated out of enclosed trailers, vans, and box trucks for some time. We have solved exhaust problems in many different ways. I recently saw a picture from someone on...

I just picked up a Landa SDHW6-35824E with the three-cylinder Lombardini LDW903 diesel engine. It is currently inoperable, but I'm hoping to change that! I've been planning on going all diesel for some time. This wasn't exactly the plan, but the opportunity arose. I've got a decent diesel shop...

I'm looking for a mythical truck! I need to put together a new truck in about 8 months. I've been looking at the Isuzu NPR flatbed and that has been the base so far. However, I don't need the 12-15k GVW. I was hoping to find something a little more efficient and agile. Does anyone know of a...

In case anyone is interested! Here is a link to ebay. We are selling our old Honda GX670 engine (and a second for parts). It's really only good for parts! Engine runs, but has a bad cylinder. These are no longer being produced, so having some cheap parts might keep yours alive a little longer...

I've got a becket 110v diesel burner with flow switch, adj. thermostat. It turns on with blower working, igniter runs great, and fuel pump runs consistent with blower. When flow switch is activated, the burner would fire for about 2 seconds and stop. The same happens when I "by-pass" flow sensor...

Is anyone passing through Tallahassee, FL (I-10) on their way to NOLA this month that might have an extra seat?

We just reloaded a hot water machine into a cargo van. We re-attached the old duct work that we used for the last machine in this van. The duct is just air-conditioning ducts from a home store, wrapped in insulation. It's not a great fit and leaks.... Long story short, I'm curious if anyone is...

Is anyone else unfortunate enough to recognize this? It cracked and leaked a molten metal on to the fly wheel. It smoked the white smoke of electronic death, then gave a brief billow of black smoke... I'm just curious, is this a problem that comes with age, or is this a symptom of something...

Ok, I've got a Honda 24 hp engine that idles just fine, but when under stress (gun open and water flowing) the rpm's drop drastically and the throttle body opens wide as if it can't get enough fuel. Any suggestions? We recently wired for remote start/stop as well as basic maint. oil change...

Gentlemen of the Roof Cleaning World (or anyone pushing chemicals long distances up hill), I'm a hood cleaner using an air powered pump to deliver caustics about 150ft from the truck. It's a diaphragm pump with max air of 100 psi, and flow of 3gpm. The chem inlet is 3/8 and the outlet is 1/4...

What's the best way to remove lots of tire scuffs from concrete? Both well cured and new concrete. Painted (primed) concrete and bare concrete?

Check out this article. Perhaps a well paid patriotic duty in the works! http://www.stltoday.com/news/local/metro/article_75095ba4-2d7d-5811-b4f9-a7ce769ddb0d.html

Anyone have any suggestions on a good remote start/stop supplier for pressure washers? Our last supplier seems to have disappeared... We switched the last one out with a generic wireless module for a car, but the wiring seems weak and gets a little too hot when starting from cold.

I had a blast at the Tampa event and would like to make it to S.C. Is anyone from FL, or anyone coming across I-10 interested in a hitch-hiker? I'd be happy to help with gas and a few luxuries... :thumbup:

I've got a 24 hp Honda that stopped working. I found the siphon for the fuel pump was not sucking so I blew out the hose (into siphon/engine) and it worked. Now with fuel flowing, still won't start. I pulled the carb and replaced with an another. Now it will start, but runs weak. I pulled the...

I just returned to 2 stepping my fleet accounts. I've got a few old downstream injectors and I've tried them all. I am having mixed results with the draw rate. I have an 8gpm 3500psi hot water skid with 200' of hose. My wand of choice is a straight gun (no angle) with 4ft' insulated lance and...

I'm about to start washing the Fed-Ex fleet in my are. It is quite small, but I'd like to get aquanted with two-stepping! Is anyone else using this method with the Fed-Ex fleet that can advise some chem and process? The current group doing it has been unsatisfactory and they just use a brush...

I'm just coming back to the pressure washing business and I'm still trying to broaden my options. As i look around, exhaust cleaning seems to be what i want to do. Is there anyone in the south that wouldn't mind letting me join them for a little while to figure out the ropes? I'd hate to do a...

I signed on the institute religiously about two years ago when i was washing cars for car lots. I just spent the last two years in the Philippines and now that i'm back, I can't get ahold of my old car lots. I run a 3000+ psi 8gpm hot water unit with a 300 gal. water tank. I understand that i...
