I have bought one direct, and one locally. I would call them, very, very nice people. Its a small operation, but they take care of you. Here is the website: http://www.runyenmanufacturing.com/

Just bought my second runyen bucket. Best grease/oil pump on the market. I used them all the time as an electrician in the coal mines, and they flat work. Made in USA since the early 1900's but most people have never heard of them. They are not that expensive either (less then a 100.00)...

what do you guys think of something like this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=350060561762 matches all of the specs, sf, amp, rpm, mount service, shaft size....etc

its not that i don't like to fiddle with ****, but i have no access to parts like this, so i just cant go try another capacitor. I need the compressor soon.

thank you for the adivce. The contacts are good. I tested the capacitors, and both started at 0, and slowly went up. i think i am going to try a a o smith motor.

yes its 230 volt, capacitor start/capacitor run. How do i go about checking the run capacitor? It is not swelled or anything like that.

I have a ir ts4n5 5hp 80 gallon compressor that i have had for 2 1/2 years. Yesterday the motor quit. It will only start when i hit the reset button, and will only run for 8 seconds, get hot and quit. It does this even when the belt isnt connected to the pump. So i guess that means a motor...

i have two of them, and also the new 3/8 one, i love all of them. i hardly use my ir titanium

you almost have to use a torch and heat the 14mm allen head bolts up on a duramax flywheel to get them off.....my ti2135 wouldnt budge them without it....

i hate that press...bent first time taking out ball joints on a d30 on a jeep Cherokee. Buy a decent press, and you wont be disappointed, i believe mine is otc, and it has held up fine.

i have the snap on 15mm magnetic, its a must have for removing/installing the 15mm flywheel to torque converter bolts on a duramax/Allison, the socket works very well for that application.

I prefer 5 ac/ 30 oxygen myself, for pretty much any cutting.... Do a google search for neutral, carburizing, and oxidizing flames, and what each do. this will give you a pretty good indication of what you want.

lenox last a long time for notching tube, so i am sure they would be a good choice.

were did you get the bigger ones? I have the 3 pack, and i love them.

what are those two ratchets worth est? that was very thoughtful of the guy to send you that as a gift.
