does anyone know what model of vortex is up for sale on ebay right now? it says it is a 2000 year model but does not look like a 777v at all and has a wierd hose reel and the truck itself looks wierd as well? who built this truck and does anyone have one?

Petersen Bereing Hydraulic Vortex, I think it had the 6M blower under the rear end, notice the funky pvc manifold over to the two 2" vac ports.

A wicked hot unit too.

In many ways it was a solid platform for a carpet cleaning truck, much better Hydraulic platform than anything Prochem ever built, and in many way Hydraulics are a perfect base to build a carpet cleaning truck, unlimited heat potential, excellent HP transfer for larger components. Downside...carrying 40 gal of hot ass hydraulic fluid everywhere you go, and watching hoses like a hawk.

I'd like to have an old Hydraulic Vortex to play with, what is the current bid outta Reno...
