Since I live in southeastern TX nearest the LA & gulf area affected by hurricane Rita , while walking around with a grocery cart looking for scrap 2 x 4 lumber I happened to come across in the curbside trash along with hurricane debris a discarded Rug Doctor cleaner. It's missing a wheel, some screws,bolts & nuts that hold the bottom brush/sprayer assembly together.

Not a bad idea

If you can fix it. Those are made for the long run. I don't know how many of you can remember the dark blue Rinse'N'Vac's, from the 60's to 70's, but my grandparents had a friend whose parents owned a 7-11 store that rented them in Garden Grove, California. When these machines had been in rental service for about 5-10 years, they junked them and replaced them. So the daughter gave them away and gave one to my grandparents (before I was even born). and it worked like a champ for many years. I finally had to scrap it last year because even though it did run, it leaked terribly and being an obsolete machine, parts were nowhere to be found. God rest it's soul, 40 years is not too shabby. Just imagine what your rug doctor might give you.
