that's................... errrrrrr .......
"cute" Ken!

 

[bob vawter]

what's the reason we don show our license numbers.........on the internet.........?

 

[Ken Snow]

no idea- who gives a crap?

 

[daniel@procarpet]

Is that for doing estimates etc?

Are you going to install a machine in it?

 

[bob vawter]

no idea- who gives a crap?

yaaa...i suppose you're right.......

 

[Ken Snow]

It is for one of our color repair specialists who also does a fair amount of strip and wax jobs. It will not have a steam cleaning machine in it but lots of other goodies.

First thing I thought, "is there a Butler in there?" How cool would THAT be?

 

[Ken Snow]

that would be cool~ thanks for changing my Avatar, whoever it was.

Great looking rig Ken, keeping up with your image, Our daughter has been looking at the transit for her commercial cleaning rig. Room for a cimex, Mitey M-5 and other needs. Ricky G's using them too,

Very well done Ken.

 

[Ken Snow]

Thanks guys- had it almost a month and finally hitting the road next week.

I would love to see pics of the inside when its done.. And i would really like to see how all of the strip and wax equipment in there.. Mine fits well in the astro vans.. One of my subs fits his in a oldsmobile silhouette

Its nice to see that your lettering peeps actually did that right. I can't tell you how many lettering jobs I see that they align it with the vehicle and not the ground.

Bawbie's next project will be putting his steam genie in a Transit :mrgreen:

Speaking of Sapphires - I hope they start install the RV pressure regulators on the waterbox for the new ones going out. I do love that waterbox design. A 370 runs like a champ.

Anyone know what the box is on the driver's rear door? Looks like a tool box, but I'm not sure. Anyone got pics of it too? shiteatinggrin

That looks cool and all. But where are u supposed to store your chems, vacuum, rotary, fresh water, tile tools, and all the other crap you need. It barely fits in the back of my extended truck. So I have to say as cool as it looks it's not in my business plan.

 

[Bob Foster]

You could gain a lot more room for tools if it had an auto pump out in a much smaller vacuum tank.

not very seeing as how they take up too much of BIG vans already! shiteatinggrin

Clean sheet of paper and I could design it in a day.

Seriously.

A hydramaster cds would be sweet.

the re-design by Stockafellar Engineering and Manufacturing would most likely diminish what makes a Butler a Butler for those of us that have actually owned and operated several units for over 10,000 hours

and I'm not talking about some dude that had a POS dinosaur Butler a decade ago :roll:

Would the shaft require lubrication instead of the sealed unit Butler presently uses Lee?

Would you layer the components on top of each other, removing the convenience of servicing the unit?

I'd love to see how you're gonna fit reels and quality build materials such as Butler's without exceeding Load limitations on the Ford Transit

Draw it up Lee and shoot it over to Greg Steve at Butler

Looks like the perfect platform for the Mini Vortex.

 

[Lee Stockwell]

I believe the 1985 Butler I owned was functionally identical to those produced now. The Chevy van was the weak link.

Why would you assume a shaft, given the transverse engine configuration, and the availability of PTO devices already in the UK market?

As far as space, it would take up no more room than the few slide in units recently installed in the Transit. You saw at least one in Nashville.

The 2 litre motor seems a better match for a TM than the near 5L V8s typically used in CDS systems.

Butler already uses aluminum hose reels, and that could be tweaked by replacing solid bar stock with tubular, both increasing strength and reducing mass further.

The tanks would be a critical redesign area. I would reduce the primary solution and recovery tank sizes and refine their function. Extended solution and recovery capacity would be via bladder tanks that would share physical space, due to the fact that neither would be full at the same time. Well tested in agricultural and industrial applications.

Preheat the primary solution tank. Full time APO on the primary recovery tank.
