Good luck has come my way,,,,,I think. I ended up with a drain cleaning machine that works with two spools with shroud covering and is a power feed machine.....I traded my time......one hour... for the machine.
Had a service call for winterizing a empty house.
Basically, walking around house opening valves, removing water from toilets and putting antifreeze in all the traps.
Before I left, the customer showed me what was left in the house.
A Marco Power Feed 70. Looks like it was used probably a dozen times and left to rust.
All the parts for machine are intact. Nothing missing, cable is even in good shape.
Even came with another spool with a larger cable. Runs great and all it needs is a air switch with a GFCI connection to motor.
I checked thier website, and it says they won't deal with consumers.
Anyone know of a distributor of old replacement parts for these drain cleaning machines? I have been saving for a Spartan Drain cleaning machine and I was going to only charge the customer $85 for the winterization.
I could take this machine and run a medium size drain cleaning job right now with no problems. Just need a switch and protected ground fault interrupter. I would like to find original parts for the machine........can't figure out if it had a bar to either activate the power feed or if it is screw adjusted.........but I am sure this trade just saved me a cool $2300.00 and will keep me from ever renting one again.
Thanks for the responses if anyone can find a place that sells parts such as belts, air switches and assembly parts.
