I have my old machine I'm trying to sell and feel its more valuable to part it out than to sell it as a complete machine. It's complete and runs. Its all stainless steel, 5.9 blower, Nissan a15 engine, recovery tank and parts that guys with this machine might want. I'm getting tired of it taking up space. What would you do?

 

[Desk Jockey]

Ebay? Craigslist?

Give a cut to a local distributor to sell it on consignment?

 

[ruff]

A little patience.
Unless they are a total bargain, they usually take some time to sell. Especially in winter.
You can always part it out if it will bring more money. Be more time consuming though.

 

[wilpath]

you could sell it to me at the right price,,, how much r u asking

 

[Mike Draper]

What type of machine? Hours? Price?

 

[Doug Cox]

05 Powerclean Genesis 11k hours. 3k? U pick up. Email me @ amcar@charter.net

 

[Mike Draper]

For that price, Why not put it in a backup van? You never know when something might happen.

Very clean truck mount!

 

[Nate The Great]

Drop it off at @Able 1 house... He told me he could ship it for me............

I really wanted to buy it, but it's local only and he doesn't want to mess with shipping... GLWS

 

[dgardner]

Hmmmm, it's only a 52 hour round-trip drive for me....

If space is a requirement paring it doesn't sound like your gonna sell but a few parts then junk the rest.

Sell the unit gets some back up cash. If you have a porty already you don't need a back u. Your SS shouldn't have major problem

 

[Mike Draper]

Even if our equipment is top notch, grandma could T-bone the shit out of any one of us at any time. HOw long would it take to get things back together and how much money would we lose if that happened during busy season?

 

[mirf]

Pretty quick if you had to.

Could you elaborate?
I really am considering this. I passed on a 405 performer at this price due to condition of it.

I've got a Performance 1 for sale. Wisconsin V65 motor with a 59 blower and cat pump, in an old chevy box truck. Only asking $4000.

Not really looking for a box truck but do you have pics?
Id really like to buy something newer but still having credit issues. I was hoping to have it resolved soon but nit looking good so im looking for options.

 

[KevinL]

The box truck would just be to get it there, then you could swap it out. I had it put into the truck after my old ford E100 wore out and then I drove it to a service shop to have the truck worked on and it's been sitting there ever since. I haven't seen it in 5 years but I'm sure it's in good shape. (the tm not the truck.)

 

[Jimmy L]

Do some checking on it. If you like to spend a lot of time tinkering or fixing it go ahead and buy it. I much prefer just turning on a machine and having it work without complications.

What can I find at these prices that will provide trouble free performance?

 

[KevinL]

My tm ran great. I just made a mistake putting it in a old box truck.

 

[rwcarpet]

I've got an 03 Genesis, running, sitting in my shop, and an 02 Genesis for parts. And a '92 Powermatic, and a '95 Performer 405 Cat, and an 2010 Blueline Thermalwave Vortec. Plenty of backups. That SS genesis is a hell of a machine.

What are you running now? Keep it if you have the room. I tried selling mine to Guaranteed Cleaning so they could rebuild and sell, but I think they wanted me to pay them to take it.

 

[Kellie Hiler]

Aren't the Wisconsin motors really hard to find parts for nowadays? We got rid of our Steam Action because of that reason.

 

[Jimmy L]

Thought they still made them?
