    It just has a shaft out the one end with a clutch on it. We have one big pulley with I think 9 grooves, and we have 2 pumps sitting on the one side and 1 pump out the other side.

    The 2 pumps that are beside each other have the pulleys beside each other. so the pump heads are right beside each other facing the same way but the pulleys are both in the middle of each pump. We had to take the one pump apart and put the shaft out the oppisite side to make that work.

    I hope that make sense.

    We have been running a 4cylinder John Deere with 3 8@3600 pumps off of it. It has been the dream machine for the last 16k hours. But I can't help you out with heat as it is just a cold water machine. But I have been following this thread because I am thinking of getting some burners to put on it.

    That Perkins will probably make a good engine. We have a 60hp Duetz that has around 15k hours and wouldn't trade it for anything.

    Hello and welcome.

    I use a xjet but I don't use any proportioner, so it is a little hard for me to know just how your mix will be compared to my setup. But that mixture does sound like it would be about right considering the propotioner.

    I haven't had much trouble with it affecting other surfaces, except a few front doors. It seems to me that a maroon front door is the worst. I have had it tend to streak a little. Remember, Just rinse and rinse, and you should be good.

    I have always been a fan of trailers. When I started I had a small 16' open trailer and I used it for about one year and bought a goosneck inclosed trailer, now I have a total of 3 enclosed trailers. Just a few things I like about a trailer over a truck unit is.

    1. The trailer can be left at the jobsite if your there for more than 1 day.

    2. If something happens to the truck you can hook another truck to the trailer and keep going.

    3. You can use the truck for other things when you need to.

    4. Everything goes in the trailer leaving no reason for the sides of the truck to be deted or scratched.

    5. If your on the job and 1 washer breakes down or you need to run for a part, just unhook and the 2nd person can keep working.

    6. Unless the truck has a box, your equipment is in the weather, which may be ok somewhere where it is warm. ( As I type this I have 2 trailers on the road and it is currently 18* with a 30mph wind).

    I know that there are cons to pulling trailers too, but this has worked for us. With that being said I am planning to put out first truck only rig on the road this coming year, along with the trailers. We shall see.
