Older TM Owners.......Do You Kiss....

[rwcarpet]

.....you're older TM's before and after every job?? I give mine a little kiss after every job, like "thank you, Baby"......it is 10 years old this month. Just finished up a 5 hour dual-wand office last night. 5 hours straight without any breaks. I LUV my Genny 59.......I am looking for a newer machine. But for now.....

No, but I keep her clean and oiled and wipe her down after every run.

Last week we ran my nine year old Vortex for 9.5 hours non stop at FSA..


She's been an amazing champ.

I have a '96 Butler back up truck that deserves lots of kisses. Only a tranny fix is only major repair on truck. The TM is still going strong with all major components being original. Cat pump is strong after nearly 6000 hours, original blower, heat exchanger, drive shaft, etc, etc... wait, maybe I did replace the drive shaft under warranty over 10 years ago. The thing is so old I can't remember that well.

Happy 4th to all.

I have a bunch of Prochem Performers with the Nissan engine, they are so dependable I don't even consider them old. Great units, they just keep running, love them.

I know you did work on the transmission, but have you had any other big repairs, either the ud or vortex unit it self?

190-200 regular 220 if you run the catalytic, most of the time they don't unless heavily soiled.

Its rough on valves, hoses and skin with the higher heat. We just use when we need it and fortunately we don't clean that much heavily soiled carpet.

I always give thanks at the end of the day

Heat the water AFTER the pump!!

Yes, what difference? he spoke of hoses, valves, and skin....all of of which are AFTER the pump.
