24 gallon?
Looks like about an 80 gallon tank to me.
Look closer. Compare it to garbage cans next to it. The one on the
very right is a 44 gallon Brute cans.
I personally hope that it is a 240 gallon tank, but I will know when
we bring it in.
Not a bad screw compressor. I had to rebuild a pair of them last year.

Buy you did not rebuild the air end itself, right?
i
Yes..I rebuilt the air end. They are quite simple.
This is another one I rebuilt

Very nice. So, you buy a rebuild kit and change the old parts to new?
i
Generally I mike the parts and order what I need. Which is
seldom..seldom the rotors. Generally its bearings and seals and a
handful of O rings. Takes about 30 minutes to put the parts in and
seal it up. On the other hand..it can take 2 hours getting all the
**** off the heads and another 3 to put it back together. Lots of
peripheral stuff..and depending on the manufacture..wedged together
with a shoehorn and a crowbar.
The client bought that compressor from a neighbor for $300 cause " it
was making noise". He paid another $100 for seals and bearings and
paid me $500 to do the rebuild. The compressor shops wouldnt touch
the job for under $2600...plus shipping.... from Chicago. With a 3
week backlog.
It had 1 worn bearing in it..not really "bad"..but worn. So I replaced
all 5 bearings and tucked it all back together.
They were happy and they paid me before I left. That was 3 yrs ago. I
changed the oil last year along with the filters. Shrug
It runs 2 shifts a day, 5 days a week.
Sometimes an extra half day on Saturday.
