[John Olson]

Oops sumbitted before finishing the post. This is an everest we resurrected.

These are the Guys that performed the "laying of of the hands" that brought this back to life. Bud is on the Left and T-Dub on the right

Is it


"Like New"

 

[steve g]

I think you guys should have stayed with prochem blue

 

[John Olson]

No..but it does have all new "wear" items, belts, gauges,hoses,chemical metering system etc. It is already installed and working for my good friends in Oregon. The used it for the first time yesterday and are extremely happy.

Would have if I could have got Prochem Blue Powder coat for the price I got teh red and Black we would have. We got the powder coat done at a screaming deal and the customer was ok with the choice before we did it (machine was pre-sold)

Nice work John, that's nearly Vawter quality work! :mrgreen:

 

[John Olson]

Thanks. I have 50 or more pics I just choose a few to post. This is the 3rd one we have ressurected. We will be starting a Legend Ressurection this week.

Nice job John......You must have bought up all of Nicks red spray paint cans.

 

[Chriswa]

Nice restoration job

 

[joe harper]

John..

Does it have the NISSAN motor... :?:

if ..so..he has a great unit... 8)


I like the RED... :!:

 

[John Olson]

Yes it is the Nissan Carb unit.

Nice job John......You must have bought up all of Nicks red spray paint cans.

Everything except the blower and the covers where sand blasted and powder coated.

John, how much would it cost to do the job like you did? Did you replace the gauges or clean them up? How much time did it take for tear down and rebuild?

 

[Becker]

Sweet work, based on the 1st few pics it was not 1st owned by Feehan...

 

[Able 1]

Nice.. 8) How many hours does it have.

We was in it about 3k of pocket (parts,powder coat and labor) so around 4k if you brought one that looked like that to us. We replaced all the gauges,hoses,belts,brass etc.

 

[John Olson]

Nice.. 8) How many hours does it have.

4k

 

[joeynbgky]

God.. Wish I knew you did this......... My prochem Legend got a 6k estimate to fix.. I sold it cheap cheap..............

 

[John Olson]

As long as the motor blower and pump are good it can be rebuilt. Now with that not all machines are worth rebuilding. The carbureted Nissan with only 4k was worth the investment.

 

[Able 1]

What kind of paint do you use? Anything different for the hood?

 

[Hoody]

Most of that was powder coated, the only "paint" was the black on the dash, and radiator. The air filter cover was painted gray, and the blower was painted grey.

 

[Ryan]

Beautiful.

 

[Jimbo]

NICE work, John and Crew!...The red looks great!

Yeah, should have thought it was...

John, awesome job on the unit. Tell TW and Bud they do great work. I had a blast installing it with my brother-in-law. Once the truck is totally finished, I'll post some pictures of the inside. Truly a nice piece of equipment!

 

[paulworkinger]

Hi John,

David just clued me in on this post....great job of restoring the unit. We are jsut about done with our 'tweeking' of the installation. David said he will take some photos of the final installation and we/ll post it for everyone.

Thanks again for the great job!

 

[Jim Bethel]

Nice job John and crew!

 

[NJ104]

Hey John how much less is it to resurrect a Truck Mount. Is that what you do and if so how much roughly would it cost to do a resurection

 

[John Olson]

All depends on what I buy/you buy the machine for. As long as the frame is sound,engine,blower and pump are solid then it can be a good option

 

[steve g]

if you buy an older machine I think the ones that were used out west here where its really dry like in AZ, NV, CO etc are going to have alot better frames I am talking prochems. when I ran prochems down in the swamp of central texas after a few years they would look like they had been in the ocean for a few years, contrast that with my machine up here in utah, its pushing 9 years old and does not have one spec of rust on the frame.

Bump.

Got any pics to show?
