Where to fix your washed out Cat pump head:
LOCTITE® THREADLOCKER BLUE 242® under the seal and the retainer to fill the void instead of fixing the head?
I am pretty sure this is the correct version harness and the pin-outs! LOL 🙂 Check first! This harness I am using on a Hamilton ACW5 credit card computer.

I forgot how to figure out which timer is which. 🙂 Plus having a part number of 13-1165 and 05-0031 help somehow?
Kleen-Rite says “05-0031” means: Hamilton Changer Part 05-0031 – DTI OEM Controller Assembly $624.81
Apparently…. GinSan makes their own…. something? Maybe GinSan makes everything…. IDK? I would think their website would be better? LOL 🙂 They use hand tools, also power tools, CNC, bend stuff…. plus other tools to mark things? Cut stuff and shape stuff and join stuff and weld stuff (tig)! 🙂 They also use 304 and 201 stainless steel!
I really do not like this companies website (top 5 I believe) and I also do not like this companies representative that supports their products on a forum (he might not do it anymore?). The help he lacks he makes up with…. anyway. 🙂 Just my opinion. I also dislike most other companies…. everyone seems to give terrible support in this industry. I also would like to find my own information and not call anyone…. Is this really hard? 🙂
Also since GinSan seems to not have an email address on their site I should include this one for your resume: [email protected] (But they have 2 phone numbers…. which proves my point.)
Jim Colman Water Wizard 1.0 Off-Board Control Panel Parts. The version on the wall is 6500. Not sure what the other model number is. 🙂 It did not come with the box.
Someone told me both are compatible…. But before I know for sure I will not disclose who just in case. 🙂
Do you have a Jim Coleman Water Wizard 1.0 or 2.0? Do you know where the data is stored on the unit? I was over at Greg’s wash the other day and during normal conversation this came up. Seems normal right? LOL 🙂 Well I have researched the redlion cl20 and how to program the device in the past but I got confused with the answer to the question. I thought this might help someone? If anyone knows or cares how stuff works? 🙂 The plc actually stores the data and the red lion is just the interface. Which the guy that corrected me immediately reminded me of that fact. I also checked it indirectly today while testing my new/used red lion I just purchased for way to much money! Which confirms the red lion does not store data. JFYI
Also the Red Lion is just an interface…. like your tv and your remote which is programmable. You do not leave on your tv to record things do you? DO NOT ANSWER YES! 🙂
What is also interesting about not caring about how anything works…. besides the large percentage of car wash owners. My guess is 75% mostly express people. Computer programmers were bad also…. some programmers did not even know basic information about the box they programmed on all day. Some never even visited it! I visited all the computer rooms everyday…. even when there was no need to! LOL 🙂
Hint:
Baldor EM4103T Motor 25HP, 1770RPM, 3 Phase, TEFC KR: $2,100.15

I have purchased 2 x 25HP motors both were descrpbed as follpeing – “Like New, Used for about 3-4 Months… then taken out of service…” This one is a lot nicer then my other motor though.
If you wany to offer me scrap price plus free shipping give me a call! LOL 🙂
Listen….. anyone selling vaca for scap price and free shipping. PLEASE CALL ME FIRST…. PLEASE! LOVE CWGUY 🙂
Check out this AMAZING testimony by Quality Car Wash in Holland, MI “Totally Tommy” Gas/Wash/C-store Model
I had no idea Tommy sold gas pumps for C-stores! 🙂
I always hate emails like this Quality CW/C-Store emails. The success of Quality Car Wash has zero to do with using any equipment. They are placing a C-Store which takes a very good location. So for Quality CW it should have been zero surprise that the express wash was a success? If it was…. well that is very scary! 🙂

That said…. I believe Tommy equipment looks the best by far. Their building looks great also…. probably their main selling point? Like those old LightHouse Autec buildings. But I have heard bad things about their fancy Tommy buildings…. call some of the owners I guess? But this other location could have been installed incorrectly? Or the person that told me was mistaken? Also isn’t MacNeil equipment hands down the best equipment? Then if you want cheap you purchase…. Well this might have changed? 🙂
They also say it is completely “all without a loading attendant and you can too!”.
Yes…. I believe everyone knows this secret? Belt conveyor…. doesn’t everyone sell these? But there are trade offs. First is not having a “loading attendant” will cut down on your through put. Basically just like the picture they included in their video! LOL 🙂 Second…. (The same Tommy location with the building problem has a belt conveyor) they have problems with cleaning tires. Guess why…. if you can pull in however you want?
I did not add the link of the video because it actually made me motion sick…. sorry. It was shot with an octocopter…. plus time-lapse very bad video.

VETO PRO PAC CT-XL Large Cargo Tote Update….. OLD POST about the BAG and another HERE.
Well I purchased the Veto Pro Pac Tech XL Tool Bag after purchasing their Tote. I really like both bags. This is a picture review of my new Veto Pro Pac Tech XL Tool Bag
The problem with every bag except this one…. can really be summed up with my wrench collecting photo. I was carrying around (picture above) way to maybe wrenches. They really do have different uses…. but I could never find any of them in my BucketBoss. I would away use my Knipex pliers
