Another truck mount on ebay 320316425200.

[Joe H]

Basically same as my Chemspec Avenger.
18hp v-twin Briggs & stratton petrol engine.
Probably 1000psi pump.
Good entry into tuck mounting.
If no one else bids its a massive bargain.

[Ian Gourlay]

How many hours an a truckmount do before it is beyond repair or uneconomical to repair.

We all have an idea about cars, but truckmounts ?

[derek west]

the amount of money you can make with a trucky, why not just buy a new one, i did and ihaven't even got the client base you guys have got.
mark shannon has done just that, i'm confident he won't regret it. and he'll wonder why he never did it years ago.
he who dares guys,

Ian, mine had 2600+a bit and some said thats highish, but if its been looked after, like a car, it will be ok

Derek, if I had have been younger would perhaps have gone for new - but it suited my pocket at the time.

[Mike Osbourne]

There are people on here good with mechanical stuff and know a good TM bargain. But I wouldn't even know how I'd get it home, or if they started it up whether it sounded right or not.

Seeing one that comes with a van and out on a job might be OK but not one stuck in a garage for six months.

[Joe H]

Mike
Same as when you buying a car,or van, 2nd hand and you know nowt about them - take a friend!

To get one home - that one on ebay is not in a van - will need a fork lift truck to get it up off the ground and into "your" van.

I was fortunate, bought mine of Dave Atkins (Mr Dvae on here) and it was stored 20' in the air at his brother in laws business and he had the fork lift truck.

That was handy

thats northing 5400 hours on mine and still pulling like a train theres a one in the us with over 20,000 hours on it and still going strong

[Joe H]

Thats a fair few hours Susan.
Cheered me up - mines only a youngster then!

[Mike Halliday]

susan is yours a watercooled machine?

I'd give an aircooled 18hp BS engine 2500 hrs. before I'd start geting worried. over 3000hrs and I'd be thinking of changing.

[Mike Halliday]

this machines with under 1500hrs is worth £950 over 2000hrs, £850.

 with tanks, hose reel and 100ft of vac & solution line £1300-£1600.

[spencer davies]

Ours has done 695 hours, best investment we have made for a long time.

[tony harrison]

Mine has done 6130 hrs but it is water cooled and well serviced.

The only major fault that I have had Is that I had to replace one con rod ( big end seized ) because of the oil pump drive cog sheared.

All other parts no problems at all.

[Kev Loomes]

It doesnt exactly give a lot of information : and it certainly looks 7yrs old. But, if there isnt many bidders then it could certainly be a bargain.

[Mike Osbourne]

Go on Kev 'grab yurself a bargin' 

[derek west]

doesn't say what it comes with, why he's getting rid, how many hours is low. if he's not putting the effort into selling it then i'd steer well clear. but on the other hand if thats how he sells stuff then no wonder he's not got many hours on it in the first place. might be  a bargain after all.
OMG, i'm argueing with myself, i really have gone menkal.
derek

Go on Kev 'grab yurself a bargin' 

LOL. I was going to invest in one a couple of months ago, but with all this credit crunch/recession/scare the living crap out of evryone talk, I've decided to wait a bit longer and see what happens

[clinton]

He has not really sold the machine to the e bay watchers no real imfo so wont be suprised if it does not fetch much money..

[nevil]

And another one 260306782395 
 
The decription seems to say it's for the whole machine but the heading says heat ex.

Looking at the email address on the description and the location it appears to be from Woodbridge. I guess it's a traded in one.

Anyway I have one of these and it works a treat for me. somebody's going to get a bargain.
