Hello,, My husband Buddy Spears and I have purchased a Master Craft Pressure Washer about a year ago. This machine has a red housing, and stands upright. I truly liked using it. Only this year when I was using it on my outside a hole broke through the hose. The pressure part between the trigger handle and the end. I am wondering if it can be replaced and if so how do I purchase it. I have seen parts of pressure washers on sale through the internet but not sur if it would be compatible to my machine. Could you help me out with this?
ReplyThanks in Advance
