My prospecting club had a raffle on a drywasher and I won!
Had to try it out ASAP. Works pretty good, got a few specks :icon_thumright:

Had to shorten the legs 6" so it would fit in my Jeep.

I bet it did not take long to get used to the thump, thumps vs. the blower noise....

Good luck.
 

Looks nice, have a close up of the drive train?

Sorry, this is all I have for now but tomorrow I will take a closeup of the drive assembly...........

You are so right!
I converted my old blower drywasher over to a puffer because of the noise and with this new one I now have 4 puffers :tongue3:

4 Drywashers...Seems like I remember you greatly downsized when you finally got sense and moved west. Now it sounds like you are junking up Kingman. LOL

Good luck.

I just cant help myself, now it seems I may have to rent an even larger mini warehouse.
As far as junking up Kingman goes, parts of it is already the most junked up town I've ever lived in, so I fit right in. :tongue3:

Actually there is an ongoing effort to clean up the town so it's getting better all the time.
Lots of new upscale sub divisions going in and the town is growing really fast with all the folks fleeing here from California.

I like the grease cap covering the Zerk grease fittings !I wanted to change up my dry washer years back to a puffer BUT as time passed and me only going there for 2 years , I ended up selling it !
 

Here is a simple drive that I came up with for my DIY puffer using a windshield wiper motor.
No pulleys No belts. Still my favorite drywasher. :icon_thumright:
(shown running at half speed in video)

Congratulations! They did a nice job building it.

He does a great job! Several members have won them over the years. He builds and then donates 1 or 2 a year to the club for raffles.
As far as I know he does not build them for sale.
