pressure washer

[ktjones]

Saw this pressure washer at the front of a neighbors driveway with a Free sign on it. I stopped and looked at it, talked to the neighbor. "It has a small fuel leak and does not run too well. If you want it, it is yours". I looked at the bottom of the tank, and could see a split in the pot metal fuel shut off valve. I told him if he would buy the parts, I would fix it for him. Nope, I just bought a smaller electric one. You can have it.
Fuel shut off valve - $5.89. Drained stale gas from tank, cleaned it. Changed oil, replaced spark plug. Used it dang near straight for three days, no issues with it.
Nice garbage find.

It really amazes me what some people will throw away.

Agreed. Getting to a disposable society. I will keep eyes open and find more trash treasures. One TBH'er calls me the new Fred Sandford. I *think* it is a compliment.

Thanks!
My son was not that thrilled - he got to be behind the wand quite a bit over the weekend!

I pick up old washers, dryers and refrigerators when i see them. I strip all the copper from them and sale them for scrap I usually make a couple hundred a month for a couple hours work.

My FIL just gave me a husky 3200PSI pressure washer. New carb and plugs $20 and she is good as new.

Thanks, all - our heavy trash day is Thursday. If not travelling, I will usually make a drive around Wednesday night and early Thursday morning to scour. Never know what you will find. KJ
