    My employer was going to throw this "old" 60 gallon IR compressor out.

    Im the sole maintenance tech at a golf course. Im responsible for a fleet of tractors, mowers and other equipment. I guess we are actually owned by the members so, no. My boss has absolutely zero experience with anything mechanical. He went to college to learn how to make grass grow, i guess...

    .625" o.d. brake line? Normally i wouldn't be opposed to finding and buying the tool and die to make whatever flare they used here, but im currently in a rush to get a truck on the road and with all of the flu stuff going on right now im not going to bother adding more work to the list.

    Because im super paranoid when it comes to the kids. I dont allow them into the storage room where the water heater is either, and i havent heard of one of them popping in forever.

    Yes it had a drainpipe with a valve that was emptied regularly. I pulled the fitting from the bottom of the tank and it didnt look rusty, from what little i could see. Either way, i dont keep it charged and dont let the kids in the garage when it is. After i move i will probably seperate it into...

    Is there somewhere that i can buy the copper tube that runs from the compressor down to the tank? This one was bent a little, i straightened it, doesnt seem to hurt anything but id like to replace it if i could find something already flared with the fittings on it.

    She sat in the corner of a golf course maintenance building since the early 1990s. Was just a little dusty. I changed the oil and air filter, greased the motor and bought a new belt for it.

    It sat in the corner of the shop and worked flawlessly for 30 years. My boss decided to throw it away and replace it with a new 26 gallon chinese compressor. It must be better because its newer, right? I followed orders and replaced it. Threw the old compressor away by relocating it to my garage...

    The most rounded bolt ever.

    A hammer and chisel would have knocked that out in 1 or 2 taps. You really should have done that before hammering all of that other **** on there.
