What a beautiful pup. Can’t say can identify the breed but my guess would be a caucasian shepherd?

It is a female rottweiler akita mix

Pressure washer made in the 70s, 3 phase 4kw motor. Got it very cheap since it leaks around the pistons, hope I can repair it. Taking a chance. If not I paid what the motor is worth and should be able to resell it, it's working.

Based on what people who have used this model say, it'll strip the paint from wood, and also the wood from itself. Rated for 80C hot water too. So if I can get it working I should have a very decent pressure washer.

When you fix it and get it running that needs painting up like a minion

Giant fleece lined bed socks from Poundland paired with one size too big rigger boots is my solution for toasty feet this year.

Bingo!
I thought of that a couple of years ago but never actually wore the boots 'cos the huge socks weren't wide enough at the tops and cut into my calves something fierce, and it turned out the huge socks were actually meant to use indoors, as they've got rubber or plastic buttons on the soles. Now I'm reluctant to wreck them, so more work needed on the idea.

Any photos of the pump itself? Curious what make it is.

Must be at least a few dozen sales of these in the UK over the last few weeks since they became all the rage!

Decent screwdriver, recommended.

I picked this up a while back. Was intrigued as to how they make it fit all 6, 3 sizes of both posidriv and Phillips. It’s not failed me yet, no cam out and fits from sizes 1 to 3 in both patterns. Was 8 quid. Definitely handy to have around.
