He Uses Car Wash Wand To Clean Out Radiator CLEANING EQUIPMENT Glen Schweppe Syracuse Neb needed a wand to clean out the space between the radiator and air conditioner condenser on his tractor He made one for free out of an old car-washing wand that had a broken brush The wand Schweppe uses has a garden hose hook-up at one end and originally had a brush at the other end The tube was 3/4 in in dia He cut off the brush and then put the wand in a vise and flattened the cut-off end of the tube He then folded the last 1/2 in of the tube over on itself and flattened it to create a “pinched down” fan head that’s small enough to fit into small places Then he carefully flattened the entire length of the tube down to a thickness of 3/8 in providing just enough room inside the tube to allow water to go through The last step was to drill 4 small holes just below the flattened-out end “The wand measures 28 in long It’s small enough so I can get into confined areas yet big enough to create a lot of water force ” says Schweppe “I use the wand’s original shutoff valve to control water pressure ” Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Glen Schweppe 13555 S 32nd Rd Syracuse Neb 68446 ph 402 269-2602; gs85827@yahoo com
