Default Anyone Make a Pressure Washer Attachment?

I am looking for a used pressure washer and thought that one could be made for a CC. If I made a mule drive bracket like the ones used on a snow thrower or shredder that drove a pressure washer it could be very useful. The trouble is the pumps are very expensive especially the larger ones. Most of the broken pressure washers I see need pumps not engine work.

If I did this I would want a very long hose to keep spray away from the tractor. Other than that it should be something that could be done. If anyone has done this can you post pictures or a link to a thread that describes it?

Anyway, it was an idea I thought I would throw out there.

Sounds interesting, maybe a Cat pump mounted to the front of the mule on a slotted plate or something and depending on rotation and small belt it seems feasible. Mount a water tank on the rear and there you go.

If you had just the mount of a QA blower you could mount the pump in place of the *90 gearbox

I know this is not an attachment but it is a now a Cub pressure washer. Engine came out of a 1641. It was seriously messed up. I fixed the engine, sold the hard to start Tecumseh and replaced it with this 16HP Vanguard with electric start.

Wow that's awesome. Vanguards are hard to beat. Sam did you have to make some sort of adapter or did it just mount right up? I repowered my Coleman 70s pressure washer with a horr shaft Briggs in place of the Wisconsin that was on it and used some different double puller couplers from a bearing place but that looks like it just bolted up? My buddy runs a carpet cleaning machine with a vanguard that runs a cat pump with a love joy coupler. Interesting

It was a bolt on. The pump came off a Northern Tool pressure washer. Both engines had 1" shafts and they both had the same bolt pattern for the pump to bolt to. This is a good site for parts and pumps.

I would be easy to just run a belt to a pulley to a shaft through a pillow block and into the pump or just use a belt driven pump, then all you would need to do is build a frame that will allow you to tension the belt.

I have been thinking about doing this too. Also trying to figure out how to mount a 10k generator head on one maybe even a small home made dc welder.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
