I had an attempted break-in on my Fragramatics vacuum yesterday. The guy only broke 1 lock but what a hassle to fix.
Broken back up air compressor – Update
Well, I installed the belt today. First I removed 3 bolts (3/8″) that hold down everything (last picture).
Then removed 4 bolts (3/8″) from the pump thing. This is how you get the belt on.
Then put the belt around the plunger then around the small gear. Then roll it around the large gear. Done!
Misc. information about the compressor:
To order the belt just call 1-888-895-4549 and ask for the 007-0068 belt. It is the only belt they ship / sell, so it is easy.

New Friend?
Not the best way to start a friendship; standing on someone elses stuff? He had shiny earrings at least 2 carrots apiece or is it carats?
Broken back up air compressor – Update
It only took me 5 months to order and get the replacement belt. The bill did not have a total but the sales person said it should cost around $40. Now I need to install the belt.

Osborn Hardware in Wylam
After over 3 years I finally went to the hardware store down the street from my car wash. It was really a great place to visit: it was like stepping back in time. Oh, and they have tape!
Icy Trash
Still below freezing and there was kind of a trash problem at Wylam. Really nothing happening exciting today.
Slugbuster coin jam
I had a coin jam today. Cool!
Broken rotary switch
One of my meter box’s rotary switches quit turning today. Now I need to find an extra rotary switch somewhere, maybe Kleen-Rite.
Hooked up anti-freeze based chemical – Update
I think that the anti-freeze won the contest against the water weep system for my foam brush. But, that is because my weep mizer was messed up and I needed to readjust it another degree. For the water weep system, only 2 out of 4 bays were weeping while the anti-freeze worked in all the bays. I also needed to salt the bays today. I was surprised with how many people actually washed their cars today when it was below freezing.
Hooked up anti-freeze based chemical
I hooked up my foam brush anti-freeze based chemical today. I will have to see which method works better; the water weep system or the anti-freeze system.
