Re: WHO WANT TO SEE ME MAKE

I would like to see you make a WMD out of that. All you get is string, tube of KY, 2 rubberbands, 4 washers, religious pamplets and some matches.

McGyver can.

[John LaBarbera]

Judging from Bob's rebuilding ability on those truck mounts, this is going to be a very interesting and informative thread.

 

[Hoody]

Excuse me, but I have to call Bob to make sure he didn't have a heart attack from excitement after Mr LaBarbera's comment.

 

[Bob Foster]

Are you hot tanking those pieces?
Do you have to build up the shaft?
What rpm does that thing turn at?

 

[Hoody]

Bawb,

Isn't the hydra-cell pulley 2x's bigger than the blower pulley ?

No Mr getahEDofme....
that is the hydraulic side....
I'll pull those rubber diaphragms along wit the large O rings...
and THAT would usually be a rebuild....BUT since this one has so many hours on it...
i'm gonna take the oil side apart as well..that consists of a wobble plate(cam) and bearing assembly...i have it all apart the next few days...stick wit the thread.....

Bob...i will throw the bare case in the blaster and it will be lik fresh outta the foundry
also
there is no shaft that wears at all and i usually go 1 to 1 on the pulleys which means it turns at about 1600 RPM's!

 

[The Magician]

Bawb you do great work. Keep the pics coming. I'm sending you a freee bottle of oxygen after Steve and johns comments.

 

[Lee Stockwell]

Bob's allright!!

My "sand and paint rebuild" comment was for all the stuff you see on Ebay and such that claims to be rebuilt.

Wanner makes the best pump in the industry, but it is top dollar. Can be run hot, dry, and hard with few limitations.

I was looking to see that last Steam Genie rebuild... Last shot we got was the frame being painted. Any updates on that one?

if you look closely you'll see the frame right behind the first shot of the pump!
I showed the Driveshaft rebuild recently..
i jus finished the HX(forgot to take pictures)
instrument panel is next

 

[dealtimeman]

that is a very expensive pump there are a couple of them on ebay for 2200 dollars no warranty. :shock:

 

[Hoody]

Bawb,

Tell the kiddies how long you can run them things without changing to oil on the pump !gotcha!

 

[lance]

But does it come with a clutch......or do TM's not need one?

 

[lance]

General Pumps might not last as long but for $500 they seem to be a great one for TM's. Bob, why don't you build some slide-in TM's and show us what you can do?

Your Steam Genie always looks brand new.

Some later models DID come with a pump chutch...mostly for when you had a flood.....but it's jus as easy to turn down the regulator pressure...for extended pump out time.....
yes i HAVE drained my pool every year wit my Genie............

Where do you get the old machines from? Are they Modernistic retired units? Or do people just know you and sell them to you?

Modernistic won't sell them to me no more as i take their customers....but i DO jig and weld up frames as necessary...
all the parts are STANDARDIZED...
NO PROPRIETARY PARTS
This means that you can BUY ANY part of the machine in any area you live....THAT'S A BIG DEAL!

and YES some people know of me and sell me used units

you jus don get ant prettier tha this
