picked up some castors from hf and threw the parts washer up on a base made out of 2x6 scrap wood

i hope the base and castors hold up alright sunk each corner of the parts washer into the base with three 1” screws and some fender washers lol cheap af

 

I did similar, turns out the HF parts washer fits perfect on a HF furniture mover

 

damn that would have saved me a half hour lol, i didnt even think of those.

this way I can store it in the shed and wheel it outside/around to wherever. always moving shit around because theres too much shit crammed into this wprkspace lol

 

I play with the parts washer every time I go in. lol. I still haven't bought one -- do you love it?

 

brain dump random thoughts. tldr they are super handy for anything small enough to fit inside. beats dumping cans of brake cleaner and/or pressure washing shit


the quality is acceptable. the one i had in the past was super handy and more robust. I miss when they were $75 lol

i still need to fill it and use it. going to run diesel and or mineral spirits. they make fancy parts washer solutions but theyre like $20 a gal sooooo no

the pump is not solvent rated. I have a 12v diesel fuel pump I plan to switch to once the HF one quits (thanks @Speedytech7 for the suggestion). also have a better filter to go in with that pump

If you have a tractor supply nearby they sell a parts washer solution in huge cans pretty cheap, it's mineral spirits basically... also wear gloves around that shit, it will fuck your liver up

 

ya no doubt, when i was painting apartments full time i heard the stories of the old timers who died at 40 from washing their hands in mineral spirits every day after work

my liver will be fucked enough without that shit lol


good call out, looks like TSC wants half of what the local farm place does for PSC1000. 11$/gal before tax

 

Damn

 

I was glad it wasn’t a billion degrees when i went to malibu last month

you 4wd launch that work truck yet

 

Unfortunately its 2wd but its got a LSD

 

lsd and not the elocker?


… id wheel it

 

I never realised this. Time to go on a fishing trip to northwestern Alabama.

 

fair. we've got an ultrasonic cleaner that gets most work done -- though have also gone through plenty a can of brake cleaner when it doesn't fit or is more work to get out and plug in. lol.

 

Media blaster

Although that'd need all the CFM's to run properly

 

yaaa with an ultrasonic you probably dont need the parts washer nearly as much lol. those things work like crazy

i primarily need this for cleaning wheel bearings and differential parts. seems like I cant get away from the axle work lately lol

 

I can’t believe I have to go all the way to Spokane for a Chilis, and to Boise for a Cheesecake Factory
