Saving a FORGOTTEN Hot Pressure Washer ~ Will it EVER Spray Again? ~ Part 1

Video Description

Now THIS is a machine that I REALLY need here at Salvage Workshop! This is a Hot Water Pressure Washer made by @MitmCorporation . It's capable of making 3500 psi, but more importantly in can heat that water up to over to 200F degrees for all the grease cutting situations I find myself in! (Well a WORKING one can do that!) I "SCORED" this old forgotten machine for a whopping $75, but I'm still not sure WHO got the better end of the deal! I've always heard that there's no such thing as a CHEAP hot water pressure washer, and as you'll see, I learned that FIRST hand! This one's a far cry from WORKING, but today's plan is to dive into this machine and see if we can save it! We'll also try figuring what the heck the previous owner did to it, because they chopped it up and changed quite a few things over the years! I've needed one of these for a LONG time, and I'm totally pumped to have scored such an awesome machine, and can't wait to get it all fixed up and ready to be used for YEARS to come here at Salvage Workshop! We'll dive into just about EVERY aspect of this old Hot Water Pressure Washer... from the pressure pump leaking everywhere, to the bypassed heating coil, to the fuel system that didn't want to do it's job! There was ALMOST nothing I didn't have to go through to make this thing work, but if you stick with me on this one, and you'll see another machine go from Junk to GEM with a little elbow grease, some ingenuity, and a few new parts! It was a hard fought battle, but I NEVER give up!

Either way, thanks for checking out this video! ~ This machine is made by the @MitmCorporation and is model # HDD3504. It's powered by a Honda GX390 Gas motor that runs an Annovi Reverberi RKV 4037 Pressure Washer pump. The heating is done by a Beckett RWB diesel fired burner that heats the water through a long coil creating the all important HOT water which is the absolute BEST for cleaning all the old junk I drag back to the shop here at Salvage Workshop! If you need a machine like this or parts for your old one, DEFINITELY reach out to @MitmCorporation they are a wealth of knowledge and they still stock pretty much EVERY part you may need to fix yours up as well!
