Not sure but the design is similar to old Truckmounts Inc units before they were bought by TCS.

First truckmount I ever used

Looks rough! Someone up in Colorado used to make a hunk of junk like that years ago.

An old Namco? http://www.namcomfg.com/namco3/shop/item.asp?itemid=474

I thought about buying one at one time.... It's insanely loud. Like crazy loud.

It probably works fine. Looks like a jumbled mess. Isn't that galvanized pipe to the blower?

Treat your feet or Namco

After the virtual tours of Sapphire and Butler, I weep when I think of the garbage that's being sold out there.

I find the earthy galvy fittings juxtaposed against the taped up solution hose contrasted with the melted fan cover to be a strong statement, yet softened somewhat by the use of multiple bushing reducers on the solution plumbing on the left......

That thing has probably been running for 15 years.

Cleaning apartments and restaurants.........give him another 15-years and he might make enough profit to pay it off!

Looks like the Namco .. I dont understand why they didnt lay the blower down having the exhaust go straight down to a silencer and vac to go straight back between the belts to the vac tank !!

I talked to the guy for a while when he came to pick it up.. He thought it was built somewhere in Texas (not sure though). He just paid another service center $1,000 for work he had done on this engine! I told him to just go and pick up a new Kohler engine for $1,600 instead of throwing more money at this one..

Too much...I just lost it a little!
