Undercarriage Pressure Washer Attachment

[oncechance]

Anyone use one? If so, make, model of unit used and any good/bad experiences? I have a 1850psi B&D electric pressure that I will be using.
I'm currently looking at this unit:

Thanks.

I use that exact one with my kranzle 1622ts pressure washer. Overall I like it and would buy another. There are a few things about under carriage attachments in general you should know that you are not going to remove concreate like dirt with it and its not going to give you a 100% clean undercarriage. It's more of a under carrage rinse that is great for removing loose dirt/wet mud and salt.

So about this exact model the one thing I dont like about it is the wheel bearing they are not stainless steel. Since I use it mostly to remove the salt spray from the roads the bearings are getting pretty rusty after the 2 years I have had it. The bearings are still rotating freely so its not much of an issue yet. Other than the bearings its well machined and assembled.

Maybe drip some 3 in 1 oil into those bearings to prolong their life?

Good advice. Spray some fluid film, WD40 or such.

Appreciate the feedback. Agreed and looking for a salt rinse for the truck's undercarrage.

I have a floor attachment. I flip it upside down and attach it to a 4 wheel furniture dolly with a few bungee cords.

Honestly its easy enough to just buy new bearings or entire wheels and replace them when they fail. the wheels are just a standard razer scooter style wheels.

I have some shopping cart wheels that I could use if need arises. They should work.

I have to admit, I'm completely puzzled as to how buying or replacing anything could be as easy as dripping/spraying something into the bearings every so often.

Ha! That's thinking outside the box!

Back in the day after we went muddling, buddy just hooked this and let it run under the truck, wait 20 minutes, move it...haha

Another great idea! I did something similar once about 15 years ago-the condenser fan motor died in my central A/C in summer, and I lived in AL at the time. So I zip tied a sprinkler just like that vertically to a tree and adjusted it such that almost all of the water coming out hit the condenser of the unit. Not only did I not lose my air conditioning, but the vent discharge temps decreased by a degree or two compared to after I got the fan working again.
