Harbor freight compressor pump opinions?
I've ordered one, but it hasn't arrived yet. Wayne, do you know what
diameter drive pulley he used? I will need to know so that I can drive it
at the right RPM. HF doesn't say what the maximum RPM is. I have a 3450
RPM 15 amp, 230 V motor, but will get a 20 amp (5-hp) if necessary. It
would be nice if I can use the smaller motor I already have.

My 5 HP Sanborn air compressor developed a rod knock and died.
Harbor freight has a replacement pump for $99. I goggled to see if
there were any opinions and did not find any. So has anyone had
experience with the above? Thanks. Scott
If this is the V twin 5hp you're talking about, a friend bought one a
few months back. He's very happy with it, and can't get over what a
bargain it was. It's a large pump, but very quiet with dual intake
filters. Powered nicely by an older 15A 230V motor labeled 3hp.
