We'll see how it plays out.

I figure that out of the three main components (motor, pump and tank)
at least two are good. Maybe all three, as often happens with
compressors. Each should be worth more than what I paid. Should be
fun.


I bought the same model compressor with a single phase motor several years
ago with a patch welded on the tank. I found a good 200 gal. horizontal tank
and swapped all the goodies to it and it has been my main compressor since.
I cut the mounting plate off the old tank and welded it to the mounting
plate on the new tank. That made things so much easier.

Nice. 200 gallon tank, surely takes a while to pump up to pressure.

Speaking of compressor tanks, I'm looking for a cheap 25-40 gal or so
compressor tank which does not need to be in perfect condition as it
will not be pressurized above about 5 PSI in my target application.

What is your application?

I recently bought a cheap 22 gallon compressor to convert into a
forge. Last night, I actually started making a burner for it. I want
to try hard to use natural gas, though I admit that success is not
assured by any means.
