Are you staying 110 volt or going to a bigger motor. 1.5 hp will give 1000 psi at 2.2 gpm or 700 psi at 3 gpm If it is in fact from the 70's. Likely rated 1200 psi or so and maybe 4 gpm at max rpm. A 3 hp 220 volt motor will do 1000 psi at 4 gpm. Good luck, figure your speed for desired...

Any name on the pump, do you know RPM, volume, max pressure. Can't identify it from looks, not used in my part of the industry. Speed of the motor it came off of. Rpm is pretty important and I bet that is a slow spinning pump, 800 to 1200 RPM Do you know the condition of the pump?

Biggest issue with running hot water is destroying the packings in the pump. 120 f water would be ok, just don't shut the trigger off if your machine doesn't shut off when you stop spraying. Running hot water in bypass (trigger shut off but pump still spinning) will kill it quick. As to pumps...

European manufacturers use them for most all machines hot and cold, commercial and home owners. I am not up on asian and other homeowner machines but that is where I see most on of them

Yep, 3/8 is industry standard

****, didn't realize you had metric twist couplers. My info was about standards push together quicks, similar to air hose. Brass is the only style we sell in those, well at least the plugs are brass as well as what threads on them. I may have seen them in aluminum but run from those

First, if you let the QC'S connected and don't take them apart often, they will become slow connects quickly. Second, there are 2 basic quality levels, domestic and asian. Domestics are superior. Brass plugs(male side) will distort where the balls engage and not come apart. Worse as...

Most folks I know who have the 88's are happy with them

Don't see many 3/4 drive above 2 inch I would look at a 1 inch drive set, or continued to piece together as you find them

For limited use, get the 10/12 If you are doing a lot of flare nut fittings, the open flare is convenient.

That vertical storage section was a $2500 option I believe. only known of one other one and the guy had a hard time selling it. $1500 is quite reasonable if not cheap for the locker Enjoy

Seller is way high and you can't tell condition for those pics. Also hugely important is are they friction slices or ball bearing and how do the drawers work and what condition are the drawer liners in. All factor into value of a box. Also, keys? The tops like that, I get 200 to 300 for...

I am not your normal consumer as I sell used tools as well as use them a bit for work. Can't remember the last time I paid retail for tools. When I buy new, it was always a mix of Snap on, Mac, Napa and other less expensive brands including some Chicrap. As I have aged, I really like better...

Yes, swivel is handy at the wand. Now the question, is a live swivel? Live means it will swivel under pressure. Rarely seen built in to a hose. Normally its a swivel for installing the hose and won't swivel under pressure.

good plan, will make a nice project The draw backs to gas engine are: Pain to drag outside and hook up (especially if your electric can run in place) Noise Have to have gasoline Twice the maintenance Pros: can run anywhere don't need 240 current Good luck

Keep it up or I'll never see the threads:) Happy to help

I won't argue that. It started back in the 90's to get a marketing advantage over competitors. I do think the motors are a bit beefier then a standard 5 hp but I may be fooling myself. Amp draw is everything. Keep it at or under the full load amps on the motor and you will be fine. Note...

To switch from 3 phase to single phase you need to swap to a single phase motor, 7.5 hp if you can't find a 6Hp and you likely won't find a 6 outside of the pressure washer industry. You will also need to switch to a heavier contactor, 40 amp min, replace incoming power lead to 8 gauge and run...

Forget the Spatan and the Easy Clean. Easy Clean maybe cheap, but it is cheap. Spartan is a niche machine with about zero market presence and not the machine for what you are doing. 40 amp circuit will run up to 8 hp 220 volt which will be 3000 psi at 4gpm. Bit overkill for what you are...

Interesting, What is the price point?
