You change the blower to muffler 3" rubber hose.
By the time you get it done you will be advanced in how to talk nasty dirty to your spouse, you will be able to surprise her in how flexible you have become and no position is unattainable, she will be amazed.

Well maybe but she will be surprised at how quiet your TM is ;)

So today as you can tell I looked and notice all that was left to the little so n so was the WIRE that is hide inside this user friendly easy to manage hose. No wonder you could her me a mile away. So off comes the air pump for HX, then blower, oh then muffler put that little beezy on... Oh the holes are off by about 3/4" I guess it needs to be that way so you can collapse it when you have to man handle the belts back on.
I had to use tie downs, crowbar blocks of wood.... but every screw is back in place something I am very proud of cause in my youth I know at least two of them dang bolts would be out in the dirt somewhere :mad: .
But it was worth it she is as quiet as can be now I can't believe how much of a difference it made.

Sounds like you had fun, I have learned to walk away for 20 minutes on projects like that. No reason to get yourself so frustrated you can't even think, yeah that was me 10-15 years ago. :mad:

I really didn't get mad just being funny, I had a slow day today and someone at the complex I was cleaning the other day said man that thing is loud.
You now how things go when it happens slowly... like over winter you somehow out grow your shorts for summer, but the whole time you didn't realize you gained 15 pounds.
I kept on thinking to myself, man she seems to be getting louder. So today I got in there with a flashlight and sure enough just the wire was left. What a HUGE HUGE difference in noise.

I can one up you for today....

You are not a man until you move a truckmount from one van to another using only your bare hands :)

I just finished moving my machine and now just have to mount the waste tank and hose reel.

Todd we did that once, wow. What a bear. Took 2 of us. We parked vans side by side and wiggled it in. Don't know how you did it!

Its actually quite easy, but you do need two people. Like you I just pulled the vans side by side, put some furniture sliders under the TM and slide it over two pieces of wood that I laid between the two vans. Todd doing it by himself is superhuman..

Here is the work in progress. It will look a lot better when I am done. I at least have it put together enough to do my two jobs tomorrow.

Todd you should at a minimum take a can of white spray paint and paint the inside of that van. I have the same van and it could look brand new. The paint I used was designed for white appliances and it's glossy and hardens really well. And why not take 15 minutes and repaint your reels black too? If everything looked new in there I'm sure you'd really like it.
