Winter project

[Cleanworks]

My new winter project is being delivered tomorrow. An Amtex Prowler Pride. 25/33 machine with dual heat exchangers. Complete with waste tank and hose reel for $1000 cdn. That's peanuts in US dollars. Everything runs but needs a little loving. Thinking already of swapping the blower out for a 45. It'll keep me busy for a few months and maybe I'll sell it or keep it and sell one of my other ones.

That should help with your sense of humor...

If you turn legs around for a 45 it'll fit a 47.....

There's a guy with a 47 here but he wants too much for it. Parts are hard to sell here so I'll let him sit on it for a while.

Sounds like a complete waste of time

You stole that. Those Prowlers are about $12k new.. I just don't understand all that water running through the blower. That can't be good for it.

Would love to see a rolling cart, 47 blower, 500 psi pump.
Could use a ramp to take it in or out of a trailer/ van, and use it for 2-300 ft hose runs...
ALL ELECTRIC....

This isn't one of those. Has a proper waste tank. No wheels involved

All electric takes about 20,000 watts not including the heat.

I've had thoughts about a self propelled trailer. Wheel it down the side walks of some of the inaccessible townhouse complexes here.

Yeah, I know. I could be out there drinking, gambling and whoring around instead. Hey, why the fook am I wasting my time with these old machines.

Cause the stuff mentioned above, IS a complete waste of time...
Because challenging yourself is much more interesting.

I got a couple of Chemtex machines last winter in a truck purchase. A 2045 and a 2747. Haven't had time to look them over yet, maybe this winter. Taking up space on my TM workbench.

I prefer working on the 405s.

You better hurry
You ain’t got much time left

I don't much about the chemtex machines other than they were always on the back page of cleanfax. I think similar to other Texas machines, they used good components but the engineering was a little suspect. I think with a little reworking, they could be reliable machines. Nothing like the 405 though, that seems to be the benchmark for a proper carpet cleaning machine.

So nice.

So nice.

You would think that a major life event ( heart attack) would change ones perspective on life...
But, no, same as always was, only more pin point.....

If only Chavez was here to see that.

We need to publish Richards phone number here so we all can call and tell him how much he's missed.

I do miss Richard.
He has a great sense of humour, and is always willing to help....
Good guy....

25/33 seems odd combo? Should easily spin more

Here's what it looks like.
