would you buy a new truck mount for around 4K

lifan 16hp motor and 33 blower 50 gallon waste tank

before you go off on the Chinese motor ( the machine will include a manifold for a briggs and stratton 16hp to hook up to the heat HX if and when the Chinese motor dies. The briggs will fit right in the same holes and use the same pulley.

will have a couple of these forsale in a few weeks to come.

So if you need a back up or a low cost entry into a gas truck mount this just might be up your alley.

no I don't have pictures they have not been made yet

If a guy named Terry makes it I would consider.

Bring it on.

I have been wanting to ask u why u don't for a long time! And was going to bring it up in one of my previous threads but never wanted to discredit your etms.
I think if u made some sort of face plate that could come in a custom powder coat or vinyl with the customers color or logo u would sell them like hot cakes and I would most likely be one of them within the next year!

A 33 blower

I thought these were pretty cool .. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Brand-new-25hp-Truck-mount-carpet-cleaning-machine-/221234627434?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item33829c836a

Would you be building one with a bigger blower and engine too?

I'm wit Ryan

Charlie, that model is not an 'etm'.
16 hp motor=gas
'E' = electric
He makes both kinds.

So Terry, afew Chinese tm's finally washed ashore; from the typhoon that happened afew years back?

I don't think I would. Even "new" things break down and need repairs, while you can buy a used El Diablo for around 6k if you are patient. I would rather go with a used TM that had more performance potential for a few bucks more.

Even now, there is a Judson unit sitting in a Ford powerstroke van for a little over 7k on ebay. Granted, the van has very high miles, but the Judson looks good.

I guess my point is that everything is only "new" before you buy it. Once you use it once, it becomes a "used" machine. I say spend it on units with higher potential than a 33 blower....even if it costs a little more.

hey guys cant please everybody and I'm not going to try.

it is what it is. The truck mounts are not made in china, just the Lifan engine.

33 blower ( I clean with one everyday ) never any customers complain about dry times.

comes with Stainless HX

AR pump AR North American

All components belt driven.

All stainless frame and stainless 50 gallon cylinder waste tank.

All for around 4K + or - a hundred bucks

Only two of these are going to be make like this.

We have the blowers and motors on hand just using up parts instead of letting them sit on the shelves.

If you want a vinyl wrap with your name on one we can do that for a few extra bucks. it is not a problem.

The machines do come with a wrap and my Techno viking has always had them

this is not the truck mount being offered ( my personal pimped out steamway 6100 turned into a petroviking)



As said before this may not be for everybody but it just might be the right machine that wont break the bank.

A new stainless steel TM for 4 G's ? I would buy one in a heart beat if I were in the market.

Hmmmmmm I like what I see in the pictures. I think my main detraction would be the 33 blower. I've been using a 36 for a long time, and it does have it's limitations. So I've always thought when I buy another TM it will have to have a larger blower!

I do think you're on to something here though, especially for a first time TM buyer looking for an affordable entry level TM.

If only I had the extra cash....

Sounds like a great deal.

For that kind of dough, that is a deal. Good for someone just starting or upgrading to a TM. Even an established CC that doesn't need long hose runs-that would work. Get the booster if they need to reach out and get some carpet along ways away.
-it sprays, it sucks, it heats the water; now if it could do a back massage...
