so my compressor took a shi!t

so this is what i had to go and do

works like a champ now :cheer:

Fawking samurai drive...wtf is that?

ps...when ya gonna come get yer links foo???

If you'd put a belt on it I bet it'd work better. :flipoff:


















So uhhh what did you do? It looks like a dual stage compressor and a motor...

yea id like some details, looks like a huge pump fitted onto a craftsman tank, im having trouble with mine constantly popping a dedicated circuit after its initiall start up cycle, maybe i just upgrade like you did eh

you old one is still pluggin away in my garage

mine keeps burning up capacitors. I should do something like that too mine. No I should just buy a dewalt.:awesomework:

I put a new pump on the top of an 80 gallon tank I picked up from a neighbor. It's from Eaton Compressors. I bought the 7.5hp 3 cylinder 2 stage pump. It runs around 27cfm @ 100psi. I can fire up the blast booth and run a grinder at the same time. I am running it w/ a 5hp motor and an ajustable pulley from Grainger. I think I might have $600.00 total into the upgrade. Hooked to a 30 amp service w/ around 28 FLA. Works awesome too.....
