Look what I bought

[adamh]

I am telling you, check craigslist everyday and be prepared to make a cash offer. I paid $3750
98 Ford 1500 ( too bad its only a half ton ) runs perfect not a single thing wrong, even the tires are almost new. 125k miles.
Prochem Proformer 405 1100 original hours. Water softener, 400 foot hose reels ( crazy big )
The local computer chip manufacturer bought it new and put it in a used van years ago. My local Interlink has done all the work on it. It was used once or twice a month. Runs great.

$3750 for the van and TM?



Lockhart, you loser...

 

[adamh]

$3750
For the whole ball of wax.

That is just one of the many steals I have found over the years ago

 

[Mikey P]

good lord..

 

[Mikey P]

there is your MFN presentation right there

 

[Desk Jockey]

Wow congrats Adam.

Good things happen to good people...and sometimes to Lockhart.

 

[WillS]

Sweet. I need to look into those types of sales. Could use a TM have needed it for tile cleaning. Good find!

 

[adamh]

Those 405 last forever. Some guys get 15k hours on them
I bet I could flip this thing for 9k pretty easy.

1100 hours on a 405 is nothing

 

[Desk Jockey]

Easy!

Truck worth 4k? TM 6-8? At 9k it would sell fast.

I have a friend that might take it off your hands for that price. Let me know. By the way, don't frown on it being a 1500. As long as there's no water tank inside, a half ton chassis will do just fine.

The one day I don't check craigslist....

 

[hogjowl]

Does Craig talk down to you and hurt your feelings?

Like Bucket hed...

 

[Bob Pruitt]

Awesome deal! Congratulations! I hate you...

 

[SamIam]

405 are great lots of heat and suck I was always bummed I never got the automatic diverter it came out a year later than my model.

But then I heard it can be a pita out of all the 405 models?

Still great engine 4.7 blower and awesome heat.

 

[SamIam]

@adamh are you gonna use it at all for your business or just flip it like a burger?

 

[adamh]

I may flip it, but the more I think about it the more I want to keep it.

I have a
Rage 465 hours
Prochem Blazer 560 hours
Blueline Cobalt 3000 hours
Prochem Blazer plus 1480 hours
Now this 405 1100 hours
I have more than I need

 

[Desk Jockey]

Sell the Blazer or Cobalt. Keep the big Nissan. Run it for 3-4 years and still sell it for more than you paid.

 

[Mikey P]

If you had the same wand and hose hooked 100 feet out, could you tell the difference between any of those?

 

[Desk Jockey]

Should you be able to?

Personally I'd look at longevity, less repair liquid vs air-cooled.
The Performer is a beast built for the long haul. Those small air cooled are likely running at or near max. They doubtfully will last half as long as the Nissan.

 

[Cleanworks]

Yeah, you will hear and feel the difference in the airflow. I agree with richard, sell one of the others and keep this one. Or drive up here and I will give you $6000 for it.

 

[SamIam]

If you had the same wand and hose hooked 100 feet out, could you tell the difference between any of those?

I saw a huge difference each time I went from 3.3 to 4.5 to 4.7. The 4.8 isn't that much more than a 47.

My 405 was a huge step up from my legend se

 

[shadygrady]

I thought the 405 had the Kubota engine? Can you sleep at night? That's robbery without the gun & mask!

 

[adamh]

If you had the same wand and hose hooked 100 feet out, could you tell the difference between any of those?

I have all of those modified 2.5 inch. The difference from 2 nch to 2.5 inch on the small machines is huge.
Very little difference.
I will modify the 405 2.5 when I get back from Nashville, right now it sitting because we don't have time to breath. We have been slammed

 

[Mikey P]

How many of those trucks are on the road every day ?
And how many techs are you employing now?

 

[adamh]

It just me and I only work part time '-)

 

[Old Coastie]

A good deal and I'll bet the seller really needed the money. Congrats!
