  1. Doing engine swap

    Thank you both for the information. As it turns out My uncle had a couple of running D600 engines up on the farm so I have now them. According to General Pump For the gas engine calculation it would be... psi x gpm / 1100 = hp
  2. Doing engine swap

    I am sure you do and that's what I am trying to find out. There are so many different formulas from reputable people but the only issue is they all vary in +\- 1 to 4 hp. Now with my kubota d600 I know it is a 14hp but it is diesel and it has more torque than a gas engine. The only reason I am wanting to do an engine swap is because the parts are getting harder and harder to find for that engine. Not to mention the pricey side of it too.
  3. Doing engine swap

    Just found another formula under grainger.com That states this for gas engine hp Ebhp = (gpm x psi) / 1457
  4. Doing engine swap

    Ok now that makes 4 different formulas. Now with this formula it makes the gas hp even higher. 3500 x 5.6 = 19600 / 1024 = 19.2 hp gas Which is higher than the one I had posted. This is where I am getting confused. Is there not and industry standard formula or is there several.
  5. Well I have search this forum and a couple others for the information needed. I am doing a engine swap but I am needing to know what size Gas engine. I have read and found a couple of different formulas. psi x gpm/1100 psi x gpm x .0007 So now I am confused as which formula is right. My pump is a GP TS2021 which is 3500 psi at 5.6 gpm I am currently running a kubota D600 3 cylinder diesel which 14 hp So given the formulas above which is right 3500 x 5.6 = 19600 / 1100 = 17.8 hp 3500 x 5.6 = 19600 x .0007 = 13.7 hp Given the engine that is currently on the pump which is 14 hp I am completely confused as to which one is right. The unit I have is a Whitco DPO 5030. Any information, help, explanation, or answers are greatly appreciated.... Thanks in advance,
  6. Website host

    Kyle, I can tell you that I use GoDaddy. Some folks don't like them but I have hosted 4 websites over the last 10 years with them and they have been very good to me. I am currently hosting www.bubbascrubspc.com and www.panhandlepierfishing.com these are the 2 newest I have added to my list. The pier fish address averages about 200k hits a month I have the unlimited package and it cost about $25 a month. With all 4 domain and 2 hosting accounts I average about $35 for hosting and email account. The domains cost between $10 and $15 a year. The best time to get with Godaddy is when they are running a special for free hosting with the purchase of a domain or vice versa. Right now they are offering 5.99 Domain names and 9.99 a month hosting unlimited with free email.
  7. Vendors

    Russ sent you a pm.
  8. I have had an issue with one of my current vendors. I placed an order last week and still haven't received it and it still has not been shipped. I spoke to them yesterday and was assured that it would be shipped yesterday and still no shipment. The sad part is this vendor is only 6 hours away from me and if I didn't need the parts and if they didn't alreadyd have the our money I would cancel the order. So what I am asking is what vendor should I use for parts, chems, etc. I am located in Florida. Thanks for any advice.
  9. Thank you Timo That is what I am gonna do then.
  10. Here is what I have and want to do. I have a down stream high draw 20% fixed rate chem injector. I have read about not place this in line with hoses or guns as it will damage them over time. I have a GP TS2021 running about 5.6 GPM My questions are: 1.How long of time? 2.What is yalls recommendations on setup 3. Can I use the second output on pump and run another unloader and hose setup just for applying chemical. 4. Or should I just carry around a bucket and place it at the end of my wand. Thanks for input
  11. I found the issue it was the spring in the unloader it was weak. Thanks or everyones help.
  12. It is a 4GPM at 3500 PSI
  13. I have check the spray bars and nothing in those it happen on 2 different surface cleaners. If it is in did to much pressure Icould back down the unloader and lower the pressure. K7 Unloader but this would be only a temp fix. Is there a suggestion to where to start looking on the unloader. And Again thanks for the help.
  14. Today while doing a job I thought my Landa Water Jet gave out I did buy it used but still only a year or so old. Heres the problem. While doing the job the pressure just stopped. Went to to the PW and checked everything and everything seemed normal. No air in lanes good flow of water. So I took the gun off the side and put in a 5.5 25 degree nozzle and my pressure was there. So I hook the gun back up to the surface cleaner and then it started spinning spraying for about a sec. then pressure just stopped again. So I broke out old old faithful Northstar 20" and it did the same thing. Any ideas on where to start looking. Thanks Chad
