Home made TM

Hey guy's I had a call the other day, this o/o was looking for a used waste tank. Never worked on his unit before so he comes over to look at what I have. A 3.2 spitfire tank. Then he shows me his setup and talk about a Redneck unit but it's working for him.
The unit is: 1 Star gas powered oil fired pressure washer for sol. press. and heat.
1 5000 watt portable gen. for power.
1 55gal drum for waste tank which the lid was broken and the reason for the call.
4 3 stage portable vac motors
1 home made manifold wade with 3/4" plywood sealed with RTV and screwed together size about 36"H 18" W 12" D mounted the vac. motors and plumbed accordingly.
150 ft 1.5 vac. hose and his in business.
He said he looking at getting a TM so we talked about some used units I know of.
He told me he is making 400-500 a day with what he is using and makes 300 a month in tips.
This just shows me where there's a will there away to make a living even today. Just thought you guy's would like this with all the mod's you do.

Sounds like a guy who knows how to sell himself....imagine what he could do without the limitations?

Get her done

That's get'er done. Lol

That's how we say it on the west coast

Just about to hit 2000 hours on my home made machine. Only thing I have done is replaced the belts once because they started to crack. Hoping for another 2000 without any issues.

I just tried posting a pic from phone and couldn't do it either. There is a problem with serving and mobile devices right now. Upload them to your PC and post them to your PC. This platform is starting to tick me off

That's a classic T

Have you seen his electric heat exchanger? that is my favorite invention of all time.

Wait, back up a little, are you saying Terry's electric TM has electric heat exchanger ? Care to explain a little of how that works ?

Switching over to 2 inch vacuum hose would do wonders for his vacuum performance. With an ETM
one should use as little 1 1/2 inch vacuum hose. For instance with my Jaguar with a hundred feet of 2 inch vacuum hose attached I can add a 10 to 15 feet
whip hose made of 1 1/2 inch diameter vac hose.
Any more than that just kills the air flow. When I am using like 125 feet I don't use anything but 2 inch vacuum hose. Just limited by electric power. That is one reason why I am going back to a proper gasoline powered truckmount. In fact I got a call from EZ TMs and I will be having my 20HP 36 Roots machine installed into my 2003 Chevy van next wenesday. Finally!

aI told him the same thing about the vac hose
