Finally talked the guy at one of the machine shops I use to sell me his old parts washer. Got it for a nice price, and loaded it in the back of the truck for a 30 mile ride. I am totally, totally psyched about this guy. After cleaning five transmission cases last month, and tearing down three engines, this will save LOADS of time and save people money. I can just toss these parts inside and the 'basket' rotates them slowly, and blasts them with a multitude of high pressure jets. Load it up with hot soapy water and disgusting parts magically turn clean. I needs a little bit of TLC and tidying up, so the inaugural run won't happen until next week.

Local guys are welcome to stop by and use it, just cover the electrical and waste disposal cost.

Nice score Mark!

Nice! I have one of those in my kitchen but my wife keeps putting dirty dishes in it.

Far out. I'll bet your stoked. As all good tools, it will pay for itself soon and you'll wonder how you ever worked without one.

Plus, I'll help keep you warm this winter.

DeSchaVo. Someone here did this exact post with the same machine about 2 years ago! I remember because after seeing that post, I've been on the lookout for one too. Great buy!

Nice score! Kinda ugly though. Put some 914 stickers on it.

So not to be rude but, what is a buddy deal like on one of those parts washers? $300, More?

Your going really like that!

I have one just like it.. Had it since 1998 and it runs like a champ today. The detergent makes a huge difference and keep the spray nozzles clean and it'll last forever.

Very nice, now you'll have more time for the fun stuff.
Guess I should have brought all my parts dirty.

Good score Mark. Just think how much $ you're going to save on carb cleaner now.

Damned if I wasn't expecting a picture of Elliot for your new parts washer


Nice score Mark!

I think we need some before and after shots, that is cool!

I have a System 1 manual parts cleaner, but I'm totally shopping for that same deal.

I want to push the button and walk away.

Nice. I'm jealous.

That's a little gay, not that there's anything wrong with that......

What? And get my hands dirty??

you will love it!!! I did the same move a few years ago. I found an old machine cabinet but it needed everything. it was well worth teh effort. I use Pro-chem powder soap. you will have to make a compromise if you want to run AL, MAG and steel parts due to chemistry, corrosion and what not. you can get more aggressive so it will even wash teh paint off of engine tins but you must then be quick with your AL parts. get an oil skimmer

Jake: what soap do you use?

here's my war horse. ugly but awesome. it has spray bars over and under the turn table and down the sides. I can fit a small block Chevy in here.

Here's a couple before and after pictures. I had to replace the turntable belt and wire up a 60A 220v circuit to run the thing. But it's all hooked up now and I'm LOVING IT!

This is just with hot water. I might add some SuperClean if it doesn't handle some of the tougher stuff. There are still a few tough spots that get left behind, but I can still throw them in for and hour, spend 15 min scraping the tough stuff, then run for another 20 min.

The Gals are correct!
Nuthin' like a HOT bath!

I'll admit it. I'm jealous I spent the better part of a day a couple weeks ago scraping, soaping and power washing 4 transmissions and an engine . Then I tossed the jeans I was wearing

That's what kids are for...

Look into some detergent and you will be in mecca.


That is what my Dad use to say........
Here is what mine is , Locals no you can not use it, I dislike cleaning it.
