Wanner Hydra Cell Pump.(best pump made)
Para Plate Pressure Reg (do you even know what they build?)
cheap plastic gauges???..Hardly very 'pensive

those switches look plastic to me , what more is it than a bunch of bent old rebar the frame rattle can paint job looks kind of primitive and ultra simple I think a trip through the Granger catalog and harbor freight and you pretty much have one of your machines right?

Para Plate Pressure Reg (do you even know what they build?)
cheap plastic gauges???..Hardly very 'pensive

para plate heck what is that 100 bucks tops

those gauges NAPA?

looks all kind of like a Japanese pachinko machine

that clutch only transmits just under 20 hp so you have to slow it down to a 45 so what is the big deal wit a 47 blower?

you know when you take all that bling off of it what is there really?

the clutch is rated at just under 20 hp the blower needs at least 19,8 hp and the water pump takes 3 or 4 hp

looks to me yur machine is a bit under powered

cant get any hotter than the thermostat on the engine

no the carpet cleaning machine is powered by a A/C clutch that can only transmits under 20 hp
you could have a top fuel dragster engine at 6000 hp and it is still only going to be under 20 hp to the machine

never had a clutch go out in over TWENTY FIVE YEARS of using them (of course i know how to set them better than most do).......and i do lockdown those Genie Stainless wastetanks.....
i think yor jus tryin' to annoy me........if you were as smart as you seem to think you are...you would know that it takes closer to FORTY HP to turn the roots plus the Wanner!
