I can imagine!! My old space was 24x13…….. had it for 16 years definitely appreciate what I have now.

Very nice! My compressor is not really all that loud compared to my other one. Space is not a concern my shop is 2500 sq feet and compressor is behind a partition I have. My harbor freight compressor is much louder and its an 8 gallon. My shop is split one side is set up for mechanical work the...

No it looks fine few scratches ect

The compressor is all cleaned up, new crankshaft, cleaned up the valves, new gaskets, bearings. I’m glad I took the old girl apart, the inside of the crankcase had alot of sludge in it and the tube that feeds the the oil sensor canister was full of rust and ****. No way the float inside it was...

Well worth the effort and use of grey matter…… wish I had thought it out more! Lesson learned!

Progress just showed up on my door step.

I am in Graham, Alamance County.

I need some people smarter than I….. I picked up a Champion VR5-6 compressor with what I believe is a R15 pump. Tank year says 1996. I gave $250 for the compressor. Loading on the trailer I tripped and the compressor ended on top of me ….. beat me up pretty good. The compressor took a hit and I...

Thank you!
