Tools/Parts on the job

[Steven Button]

Does anyone carry a supply of spare parts, tools, oils/lubricants, etc with them in the field.

I'm putting together a tool box and parts box to carry on my truck, just wondering what you guys would not be without if something went wrong or needed fixed/replaced?

I've got some spare nozzles, quick connect couplers, teflon tape, screw drivers, socket set, spanners, mallet, engine oil, pump oil... any other recommendations or lists of what you carry?

Would be interesting to see what others have.

Thanks

Everything except a new motor... Got spare pump, spare diesel fuel pump, spare valves, spare evrything .. A whole truck tool box full of stuff... If you dont have it , that will be the part that will break..

Filters....the one for my diesel fuel stopped up Monday, and the gas stopped up Tuesday. Great luck huh. WD-40 is also great

 

[Steven Button]

filters... never thought of that.

John, I think you make a good point... need as many bits and pieces as possible to make repairs in the field. Unfortunately, at this moment in time I wouldn't know how to fit a new pump... I'm off to study!!

thanks guys

Depending on your setup and HP hose supply, you may one day need an emergency field repair kit for your HP hoses.
O-rings for quick connects, as those get blown out sometimes when you uncouple them.
Open end wrenches and or big crescent for those stuck couplings.
Spark plug for the machine.
Spare pressure gun and wand.

As of yesterday,
Spare tire for the trailer (blowout on way to house wash). Tools and jack to change spare tire I, uhh, you should have. Spare belt for pressure washer. (yesterday also) Spare little pressure washer, just in case big one breaks belt. Cell phone with a reliable friends phone number keyed in. Other than that it was an OK day.

spare hoses, extra injectors, unloader, penetrating fluid, and of course duct tape and zip ties. plus most of what everyone else has said. Basically I carry everything except a spare rig. That will be happening in the near future though.
