Hey folks.
I am putting the hydraulic lift on my 8N back together and needed to wash some parts up.
I had an old tilt-skillet (if you were around institutional or shipboard cookin' you know what that is) kicking around the boneyard and I decided to convert it into a parts washer.
I built a frame out of 2" square tube and attached it to the outside panel of the skillet which is 3/16" stainless and then attached some steel casters.
The result is designed to be robust, as the pan is 1/2" stainless and the frame is 1/4" wall tube. The washer should support 1,000lbs. if necessary.
A question: What would be the best way to circulate parts washer fluid from the bottom back up to wash down parts? I think someone Lou perhaps used a oil furnace pump and filter. I am using CRC parts wash fluid.
As always comments, questions and opinions are welcomed.
