HUGE 'Thanks!' to Russ Johnson! - Pressure Washing and Contractor Cleaning Forums

Don Phelps · **HUGE 'Thanks!' to Russ Johnson! -** Aug 13th, 08, 11:44 PM

We have a Pressure Pro 8 gpm cold unit, as well as a 115v 8 gpm hot water skid. Yesterday I was doing some maintenance on the hot water skid, then I hooked the water up to it and was 'attempting' to clean the driveway/sidewalks at our home when it decided to eat itself. It started squeeling and I immediately thought it was the belts because I had gotten some water on them. No luck, it was the bearings and it literally threw the rod through the bottom end with oil and metal all over the place. I bought the skid locally but I knew Russ would be able to offer up some knowledge on the whole thing. After hanging up and thinking about it for a few minutes, I called him back and asked him to see if Pressure Pros in Ft. Pierce, FL might be able to do an emergency motor replacement, since I needed the thing back on the road by tomorrow. Long story slightly shorter, he made a call, they agreed and I drove an hour and 45 minutes South this morning and dropped off the trailer. He also gave me a great price on a 24 hp motor! They got it done in about 3-4 hours while I was hanging out with Mel from Vero Under Pressure and 'the rest is history' as they say.

This is how Mel and I spent the 3-4 hours.
