Anyone can know of anyone that can work on a direct drive on the east coast?
I’m hearing a rattling noise. I replace the bearings which seemed to resolve the issue in past but after recently replacing my engine and transmission and bearings again. The issue seems to gotten worsevan? unit? problem?
I got that problem fixed but the person who touched it last moved to California. Now I’m stuck with a similar problem with no way to resolve it this time around.Steam Genie
PTO
Bawb told him it was new
It isnt.
Where at on the east coast?Anyone can know of anyone that can work on a direct drive on the east coast?
ATLWhere at on the east coast?
I don’t know themGreat southern truckmounts is the best in atlanta.
If you're willing to travel, Clean source in Columbia, sc has a good lead mechanic also. And All-Care Distributors in New Jersey has allot of knowledge as well.
I've had both great southern truck mounts and clean source work on my machines and I've spent allot of time talking to All-Care on the phone also, so I know they're well seasoned in our machines
They never answer their phonesGreat southern truckmounts is the best in atlanta.

the bearings were changed 2x in the past 4 monthsBetween this board and my good mechanic, we got thru a clutch seize and bearing replacement. A little more stress, but was my only game in town.
Like I said, I don’t know anything about them, but I’m not surprised to hear this because the forces leading (probably) to this for them are so widespread today. Besides the fact that it’s so hard to find competent labor theses days, it also difficult to generate an attitude of service in an environment that is increasingly not rewarding it. Right now, I have an order for two unloader valve rebuild kits that is somewhere around 45 days old. My supplier, who for years was outstanding in their service and dependability hasn’t even bothered to keep me informed on the status of my order. I’ve had to call them to stay up with where it is. As I’ve said before in other threads, I’ve had to also resort to repairing my own things because the quality of their service has gotten so bad. It’s the same folks who own and manage the place and I don’t think they’ve suddenly developed a new attitude related to service. I just think they’re burned out from dealing with carpet cleaners and low skill employees. Last time I was in there, the good ones were gone.They never answer their phones
I’m hoping it’s not the shaft but if it is, any advice to where I can get a new one made?if not perfectly aligned you will keep buying bearings

I’m afraid that we’re in for some difficult decades ahead where conducting business will become ever increasingly unrewarding and stressful. One good thing is it shouldn’t be too hard to stand out if you can keep motivated.
I’m never certain when Mikey is actually telling the truth, but if you actually have a Steam Genie, then you’ll probably have to have one built from scratch.I’m hoping it’s not the shaft but if it is, any advice to where I can get a new one made?

Today is Labor Day and if they don’t answer the phone on a normal day, they’re busy turning a wrench and will call you back at the end of the day to schedule an appt. Give them another chance. They’re good guysThey never answer their phones

Oh BS! They buy glides because they sell. You sell them because they’re wanted. The only benevolent person ever associated with Greenglides was Lisa.
