[bob vawter]

has notin to dooo about fail old dude

it's about how much true hp it tranfirs it's just an ol A/C clutch dats all not a true pto off the transmission

P-----POWER
t-----TAKE
o-----OFF

I happen to
"take"
my "power"
"off" the belt system of the motor!

 

[Burtz]

[bob vawter]

still under 20hp transfir to the carpet cleaning machine no matter how big a engine thats all yous geettin out of an ol A/c clutch grand daddy

Lets take for a moment the possibility that yor right....
SFW...the job is still getting done...20 OR 40 HP...
so whats the problem?

 

[Burtz]

lets just say I am right and a Bane gets the job done just the same

so you really don't know what the exact parameters are what yous building just a copy of an old dinosaur and dats all you know about it

so how much I gots 2000 dollars does that include install and life time guarantee on parts and service 24/7 support

 

[Burtz]

I QUit has enough fun on bobs expense for one nite donts wants him back in the hospital

 

[bob vawter]

i usually try to get the Pitts clutch..
sometimes i run the Four Seasons.......
i don't see the relevance of saying that it will handle only 20 HP...
when obviously the R&D done by the Steam Genie Corp was definitely more detailed than yor casual observation........

 

[Lee Stockwell]

Burtz is a mechanical moron it seems.....or

he's trying to get a rise out of you Bob.

 

[bob vawter]

if it was an issue...
i believe that with all the hours i've put on Steam Genies...
ONE woulda failed....?

That casual observation is based on the pitts clutch specs found here:

http://www.coastalhyd.com/Clutches.html

along with the vac curve from here

http://www.pdblowers.com/admin/uploads/ ... _curve.pdf


Yes the R&D was done....and they chose to underdrive the shit out of the blower so the clutch would hold. !gotcha!

if it gets 15 to 16 Hg....what's the big deal?

 

[bob vawter]

axe CRASH what kinna Hg he's pulling wit his...HE'LL tell ya.....

 

[bob vawter]

no big deal.......
and i AIN'T under spinnin' the blower either...1900 is perfect!


sidebar:
i am SURE that my clutch AND driveshaft would handle TWO 47 blowers at once........

 

[Mikey P]

[bob vawter]

[bob vawter]

FREE LAWN SCORCHING HEAT!

 

[GeneMiller]

nothing matters except if the owners are happy. never heard any complaints.

[idreadnought]

hydramaster spins a roots 47 blower at 2800 rpm and drives a cat pump off of a clutch. the 4.8 machine I have actually overdrives the blower. The engine speed is set to 1500. So I think it makes sense that the volume of hydramaster machines sold that you can safely drive a 47 roots off a clutch

[Mr. 007]

This is some good stuff, I can attest to 453 hrs of problem free operation with very light main. on my latest unit. However on my last Steam Genie I am pretty sure the hours used gauge rolled over at least 12 times, If legend serves correct "Betsy's" Steam Genie lasted over 4 engines and 20 years. :shock:

CRASH...Betsy had the same engine in it that i put in when i bought her for $500 NINE YEARS AGO...
that was the dejetted 302......although i think we changed one head...that time witout pulling the intake.....
IT CAN BE DONE!

 

[bob vawter]

Got my new ceramic today.....look i have them do the INSIDE as well......
who ELSE would do that?

 

[bob vawter]

DAMN...i went to the waterjetters to pick up my last two SS panels........today...

i usually get a brush or satin finish...but THIS time i tol them i wanted MIRROR FINISH.......
what came back was factory finish with the alloy codes still printed on.......
TWO CHOICES:
sand (1000 grit...then 1500)and wheel for two fulls days......... OR
powder coat over the Stainless???

i believe that i'll powder coat it unless one of you brainiacs can talk me outta it..............

 

[Lee Stockwell]

Nah, just Krylon it.

 

[bob vawter]

BURTZ????

 

[bob vawter]
