beyoungsr 14 Report post Posted January 16, 2004 Ronnie, 1/4" and 3/8" o-rings. dental pick garden hose washers heavy 3/4" contractors water hose. 5/8" may work. Use shortest lead possible. 30 weight nondetergent oil for the pump. Your choice of oil for the engine depending on conditions. p.w. plugs and couplers silicon spray oil spare spark plug metric and SAE hand tools extra nylon pull cord antifreeze for winter storage quick detachable pressure gauge Additional desired nozzles to lowwer pressure spare unoader bypass hose if applicable water soluable fitting compound or teflon tape good tire gauge This could be increased tremendously depending on machine type. Is you machine direct drive or belt drive? Hot cold? Is your location Mesquite, Texas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aplus 525 Report post Posted January 17, 2004 It took me a couple years to build up my spare parts inventory. It was just too expensive to have everything in both of my trailers. I probably have a grand in tools and spare stuff in each trailer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aplus 525 Report post Posted January 19, 2004 A lot of the stuff I carry has never been needed/used, but you can never tell when something is going to fail. Most common failed parts for me have been: o-rings, connectors, high pressure hoses, and unloaders. Now, you need the tools to be able to field repair the items mentioned. One thing I would really like to have onboard is a vice. No, not the bad habit type, but rather the clamping type.....:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
