To install my new Marathon motor and Multi-Stage Motor, I purchased some 5/16-18 stainless steel hex cap screws, flat washers and lock nuts. Why would the manufacture (Hillman) package the hex cap screws in a pack of 3, the flat washers in a pack of 5 and the lock nuts in a pack of 5? Does that make any sense? I need 8 of each so I need 2 packs of lock nuts, 3 packs of screws and 2 packs of washers?
Look and see if you can spot the problem with the vacuum motor. The dome on the vacuum was luckily not hurt. I also added a new gasket. I stuck it on the vacuum motor just like Greg taught me! JK Greg.
Too bad I’m old, but it does look like fun. I don’t think I have seen 4 jumpers side by side before.
Which is more fun? I pick…. being at home!
I forgot to post this earlier but Greg gave me some used vacuum hoses from his Morgan Road wash, which are actually very nice. Thanks Greg for the hoses!
Well I removed the 1″ barb today, which I was scared to do. It came right off though, which is good. But look how bad it got: I really should have paid better attention.
I believe that the fitting is rusting away? I am going to purchase the parts today and wait till tomorrow just in case something bad happens.
I installed the piece today! It worked great, saved money on parts and was push lock!
I believe that when water shoots out of the regulator that means it is broken?
Here are some pictures I forgot to post of my broken multistage pump.
