I have both hamilton and American changer token dispensers. I wish I had the Carolina pride version that requires the button to be pushed. The hopper is a little small compared to the others but I think the Carolina pride token teller will pay for itself in tokens alone. I could not get either...

I once had a drive thru coffee shop on the property. I just leased the location to them. It worked out well while they were there since I had a extra set of eyes. They would call me me if anything was wrong.

Take a pair of channel lock pliers and move one of the tabs out or in a little. Then the hose should thread in easy.

I bought a 6X12 hydraulic dump trailer to haul the tractor and the mud in. $5700 for the trailer. By the time I get all done with the tractor, trailer and mods I think I will be about the price of a new Ring-O-Matic suction pit cleaner. I will have many other uses for the tractor and trailer...

When I had a ryko friction machine most of the time it was someone not staying on the treadle during the wash. See the thread on treadle switches/ pads. That is where I would start. Also when one of these problems are reported check the 2 digit code and have the ryko service techs look at the...

I always replace in pairs and write the date on the motors when I do. I then install new brushes in each of the old ones if both are in good shape otherwise. For a $2 it is not worth it to me to take the whole upper assembly apart to replace the other motor a few weeks down the line. Plus vacs...

My ringomatic vacuum tank has been great. I wish the clan digger trailer would lift high enough to dump the mud out.

Benson industries has many vendor parts.

I agree. Kevin was a great friend to the car wash industry. He helped start the WCA and set up our industries first dedicated insurance package. Always willing to talk to anyone about car wash topics. RIP

Off Treadle problems were my biggest service call complaint also until adding this setup.

I am getting closer to getting my PIT BOSS front loader done. It is a copy of one originally made by Gator and SLedge from this forum. It will attach to front of small tractor with a skid steer quick attachment. It will be narrow enough to reach down into the big mud pits and scoop the mud up...

When I replaced my 530 with the 516 I ended up using one rail from the 530 and one from the arimitsu kit. This was probably just due to my unique setup of how the 530 pumps were mounted. Just an option if yours is not a direct drop in replacement.

WE had just sold our tire business in 1993 and I was acting as general manager for the tire company that bought us out in our state. I retained one tire store building and leased it out to them. I had some extra property behind the tire store. The last month I was with them I had a great month...

Sometimes when my Lexair valves stick I undo the air line at the inlet to the valve and spray a bit of wd40 in and cycle it a few times/. Many times it frees it up. If not a light sanding of emery cloth on the bore will help.

I ran car 530s for a long time. When they started to fail i started replacing them with arimitsu 516 for about the price of cat parts. I like the 516 better.

The picture shows the Ryko front stop at the top, the pressure pad in the middle and my custom rear plate with a 1 inch bend at the bottom. It sits between the guide rail and the under car wash bar on the left. The rear plate is critical as it keeps the tire from rolling back off the plate or...

I use the 10 x 24 London Mat. I use this one to give the tire more leeway in forward a reverse movement. A simple hose switch would make the the spot a tire has to stop on way to small. I will try to get you picture of my setup.

Follow the supply line back from the under carriage supply line to the solenoid.

My trailer is rated at 10,000 lbs. Anything larger requires a CDL. It uses the same ram as the larger 12k to 16k trailers.

If you buy a dump trailer be sure it is strong enough to actually dump the dirt. I have rented one's in the past that would not lift the heavy mud and black sand. My trailer was $6000 but will dump the mud. Sissorlift trailers won't. My ringomatic struggles with the black sands we get.in Idaho.
