WE'RE DOIN' A SWAP RIGHT NOW

[The Magician]

Nice shop Bawb. Better than some of the manufactures I've seen.

OK i got some install pictures here...who wants them....?
This is a particully NASTY install..the frame is half rusted in two and the whole machine is filty dirty...however it was a working machine when taken out...........and will be working again when we finish!

JUS DIRTY...a whole lotta work to make THIS new again......

 

[Doug Cox]

Is it going in the way it came out or are you gussying it up?

 

[bob vawter]

NAWW..this is a pretty simple swap...the blower exhaust has to exit a different spot.....and the high side throttle solenoid is mounted in a different spot...is all!

[Doug Cox]

That is something else.

 

[Larry B]

why not clean it

 

[RandyHilburn]

He can't clean it because the dirt and rust are hold'en most of it together!

 

[Scott S.]

what a pos.

 

[MicahR]

Why are cleaners in this industry so damn cheap that they have to try and keep a cobbled pos running as long as they can?

 

[KevinL]

Good question.

"Why are cleaners in this industry so damn cheap that they have to try and keep a cobbled pos running as long as they can?"

Hey, I resemble that!!!!

I got a 21 year old JEM that just keeps on going and going alot flippen better than that flippen pink bunny too!!

They haven't built a machine that compares in my oppinion, had 3 newer units, 1 shaft and 2 slide ins, still pieces of shit... Till I saw Bawb's pictures I thought his new rebuilts had a running chance, But, not nomo man....

That aint no 04 van neither, 02 at the latest.

I agree with you, but then again, I am thinking of swapping an old PTO into a new-ER van, but it will be more for backup and nightwork than anything else.

 

[bob vawter]

Yes guys......i don even think that i....

could make that new again!

 

[bob vawter]

John...that ain't a rebuild....

give me a break......

 

[Johnny]

You know you dandies who are knockin Bawb's project couldn't put one together yourselves.

Why don't you post pics of anything you've built or rebuilt yourself?

 

[bob vawter]

"dandies"



TFF!

 

[Larry B]

Why buy new if the machine you have is working good?



I couldnt care less about the age if the machine is running good but at least clean it up.





P.S. Look at the machine on the shelf that Bawb is rebuilding it looks pretty darn good. I didnt see Bawb post a single thing about the swap job machine getting a rebuild

 

[bob vawter]

No Larry this machine had a case of RAT NASTIES......they could not pay enough to make it look good again....HOWEVER yor correct...it DOES work good!
Mosta yous moreens wouldn't unnerstan...!

 

[MicahR]

What do you do for a front end kit on a new van?

To try and do a swap on a Hydramaster CDS that is older than 10 years old is tough because there are no parts for them anymore.

For those that have swapped it into a newer van what have you done to make it work?

Was it worth all the time, effort, frustration, and money?

 

[bob vawter]

I love how Butler treats it's customers that try to swap a machine into a different van.......like yous got the plague!

It's jus machinery.....and you DON'T need all the parts they try ta sell ya either!
I'll walk anyone through it if ya want!

 

[bob vawter]

OK...WE'RE DONE!

Criminently...what a job! We finished it last nit...prolly 20 man hours to finish it...did i mention that it was NASTY?
I KNOW that he never had heat as the tubes were so crudded up nothing would flow.....every thing was wired wrong and the waste tank dump valve fell off in our hands......!
I'm thinkin' that he NOW has ANOTHER 20 years service......

wit his BRAND NEW GENIE!!!!

Oh i'm jus kidding!

PICTURES LATER!
