Default 3 gal pancake compressor

"Bob La Londe" fired this volley in
:

I'll probably hook
that roll around to it for a while unless the right deal on a big
upright 2 stage 220V falls in my lap.


A friend gave me a "5HP" 20-gal Campbell Hausfield roll-around that the
motor crapped on.

Surprisingly, the pump itself was a pretty nice assembly, the motor not.

So I took off all the top-end parts except the regulator/manifold
assembly, and made it into a roll-around portable air tank for when the
tractor or trailers need airing-up out in the pastures. The 20-gal tank
is JUST enough to get one 28-inch tractor tire up enough to safely get
back to the barn.

If yours eventually dies, keep it anyway.
