Hot pressure washer !!!!

I should be able to get some hot water to my pressure washer. Thanks for the advice. I'll let you know how it turns out.

So I got a call from the place I ordered all of my 3 pt hitch parts today. They said that it was going to be a couple weeks before they could get the top link bracket in, so they went ahead and gave me a free used one. In other words, they didn't charge me for the stabilizer brackets and u-bolts that I asked to add to my order. It was the same price as the new top link that I ordered. Hopefully it is in serviceable condition when it shows up. If that's the case then these guys are good to go and will order from them again. They also called me every couple of days to give me a status update on everything and they were very nice to talk to. They shipped everything today, so it should be here before the weekend. Can't wait to get everything hooked up and put this thing to work. Will post photos of everything when it comes in.

I am sure that regular domestic hot water through your pressure washer may help.
In my case, I have a 40 year old "Hotsy" brand kerosene fired 1000 psi pressure washer.
I bought it used many years ago, and then rebuilt it years later.
The difference that hot water (195F) makes, with only 1000 psi is amazing!
I have a 4500 psi cold water washer, and on grease, and grime, the 1000 psi Hotsy does a better job (with a degreaser/soap).

Thanks for the insight. Might have to see if I can pick up a used hotsy sprayer. Otoh, I have been thinking about replacing my hot water heater with a tank less unit. I need to see what the maximum water temp is. That might be the next best thing to a hotsy.

I should have my 3 pt hitch parts tomorrow. Starting to check out grills and nose cones. What is everyone's opinions on the grills with the lights in them? Trying to decide which version to get.

I'd want whatever came on it.

It's got the holes for the side mount. I guess the grill mount were offered on the overseas tractors. I'll just stick with the original location. It comes out to be cheaper to do it that way too.

Mine had the headlights mounted on top of the nose cone. I moved them to the sides of the grill housing.

10-4. I think I've seen them on the top before. I'm just going to remount them on the sides.

Got my parts today. So far everything looks great! The top link bracket looked like new and was real tight. I can't wait to get everything installed. Everything is so much more stout compared to the stuff on my 2600. This thing is going to be a real workhorse when I get it done.
