@bob vawter can you make that brand new again?

 

[Cleanworks]

Big Reds were awesome when they ran. I used one with a Perkins diesel some kind of number 5 blower. Great vacuum and heat but problems with the little waste tank and pump out.

 

[Nomad74]

cool, I want it!

 

[Cleanworks]

cool, I want it!

Be interesting to rebuild it and see how it compares to today's units.

 

[FredC]

I've always wanted one.

I have $8.73. How close are we here?

Also the isuzu is in fact a D84 model,the person i got these from said that its all there,it was winterized and stored for last 10 years,he said they absolutely run,"better than anything out there today" his words,
I have the numbers on the machines i wonder if i can track its life/assembly
Im wandering if i grease them up and give them a good bath if it would make much of a difference,i posted thes on a couple sale sites,people are really interested in the perkins motor,pumps and chippers i guess,i hate to sell it to someone who chops it up,i feel like im holding a great piece of history

@bob vawter what is that big lever out front for?

engage pto?

 

[Mikey P]

My first couple of Coit vans had one...


I guess I dont get why Gene went with a PTO and not a belt or coupler system


Sounds like a BIG f'n pain in the ass.

One of the units here is a coupler system

I can't say for sure why pto but I like the idea of being able to disengage and those PTOs aren't prone to breaking in my experience. If I had to guess I'd say just because it is a simple solution and they are usually available already coupled.

 

[FredC]

don't these run the cleaning solution through the engine?
