Just the basics.

 

[Lee Stockwell]

Spare pumps blowers heat exchangers and motors.

LOTS of plumbing and stuff.

 

[Cleanworks]

Oh, outside.

 

[Jimmy L]

LOts of brass fittings and quick connects

And of course at least two new serpentine belts for the chevy

Did I tell you that the serpentine belt is 120 inches long?

And only an inch wide...................NOT a very good thing when it drives the pump and 56 blower along with everything else. Bad engineers

Do you have any slippage issues or does it wear out prematurely?

brass fittings, jets, QDs, o-rings, valves and rebuilds .
hi-pressure line or two
Oils, filters, plugs, belts, valve cover gaskets (if Kohler)
sprayer pump, sprayer wands, hose/tubing of various size and purpose
Misc wire connectors, fuses , clamps, fasteners, glueGoop, bailing twine and dUcktApe

are a few I can think of

Im savings all my brass fitting so i can melt them down to ingots

Well, I run a Butler, so literally the only parts I keep in stock are the belts and fluids for the next scheduled service.

 

[sassyotto]

again, Im the odd one. If I have to replace a part (unless its useful to someone else) I ditch it. Why keep an old coupler?

I do however have new spare parts that could go out (couplers, pumpout pump, water transfer pump, etc)

Unfortunately if I took a picture of the workbench nobody would say ohh or ahh.

think the question was what parts do you keep on hand.
Not what crapped out ones do you keep

Ron the belt started slipping the other day and had to replace it. When it stretches an inch it's gone too far. My hands and arms are all cut up from installing that belt. Rinsed out the blower and filters to lessen the load.

Sounds like a thin belt for such a large blower. I wonder if they could have twinned the drive pulleys and doubled up the belt. You're probably not getting the full performance that the machine is capable of.

Fuel pump, belts, fittings, hose, oil, duct tape.
