The new baby is in the womb. History of PTO machines

When did white magic come in ? And how was it related to the others?
Local company here ran Big Reds. BIG machines in box trucks.
Same place where I bought my cleanco.............then they went out of business

I thought it was said he worked for Butler but went out on his own. ???

Paul Richardson was a big Steam Genie distributor, and his White Magic company ran it's own ads in the trade press as "the East coast distributor" for SG thru the late seventies.

It probably has been said.
So?

I like the through floor exhaust. Keeps it quieter.

The SS1200 is the loudest PTO I have ever heard. I'm sure it's a great TM but man, is it loud!

 

[Mark Saiger]

Our Family had a Big Red.

My dad also converted and made many direct drives for ourselves and friends in the 70's. But he was using Chem lawn units. Went through their junk piles pulling parts... Then went home and started to make mounting brackets, drive shafts and clutches and mounting brackets. Couple of those units still going

I like guys like your Dad.
So much talent.

BUT WE NEVER HEAR HIM BRAG.

He is a way better man than me.. And I have large shoes to even come close to filling.

Much respect for him for sure

Are you adopted?

They routed the blower exhaust out the front of the machine.

My parents tell me different milkmen

 

[hogjowl]

You got his mechanical skill.

I'd be glad to help you with that verbal discordance

 

[Bob Pruitt]

For the record... I like Mark, his videos and his positive attitude and verbosity! Glad he's in the world
Thanks for making me smile and sometimes laugh Marty. Appreciate you sharing what you have learned as well.

I used a Big Red in the 80's. Powerful machine with it's #5 blower and 50hp diesel engine, lot's of heat. Biggest problem we had was the small recovery tank and pump out. It was in an Ford extended van.

Beautiful installation! Tons of room!

 

[Vincent Feehan]

Looks great Marty. Go make some money with it

 

[hogjowl]

Somebody asked me what mileage and machine hours are on my first one.
17500 miles
769 machine hours

 

[steve_64]

Nice Marty! The balloons were a nice touch.

 

[hogjowl]

Mikes wife.
She has a flair for the dramatic.

 

[Jimmy L]

Well now aren't we just a little show off now? I think you need to change that full of shit diaper.

Beautiful installation! Tons of room!

Was one of the selling points for me... A guy can cram LOTS of stuff into the back. A full 4 feet wide, by 6 feet..... (At least in the extended version).... In my opinion, a GREAT Truckmount...

 

[Sierra Clean Care]

I ordered mine with the 125 fresh, 125 recovery, APO, and the P.T.I, for the extra heat...... I am very happy with it.....

 

[Sierra Clean Care]

I had them put a Chem shelf on the right side only..... It leaves the left wheel well open for area rugs.... There is a space between the wall and the back of the water pond to stuff extra long rugs into.....

Simply awesome! I'm excited also lol.

I asked, thank you. The reason I asked, was to see how far you drove that thing and how many hours you put on it, to convince yourself that it's worth putting a couple buckets of your money into another one already.

I will say, I'm surprised that only that many hours and you were sold on another one.

 

[hogjowl]

Dont jinx me!

 

[hogjowl]

And, shut up Ladwig.

Unless you want me to start posting videos!
