Seems almost more stable with the wheels gives it a wider footprint, also if I need to ride it to work the wheels make it easier... Now about that picture, Ronnie nearly went off the road when he saw that. Must admit pretty funny.

Lol, I got to defend him... Only paint lol

Does this look like a man you would trust with a compressor that large? A real mutt camels beware...

Quick update... After painting it, I wet Sanded it with 600 grit. Then used a 2k two part clear coat with a matte finish. I plan on assembly this weekend.... Some pictures of my buddy applying the clear... A real mutt camels beware...

I figure there embarrassed, and don't want to take responsibility for that pump...

I think it will really knock some socks off when she gets going, also with the restoration I'm doing I'll win best of show any day over that totally blue care free paint job of yours lol...

I need to sneak over there tonight and cross some wires to ensure victory...

I looked at the plate it says 5hp I snapped a picture so you guys can get a better look at it... Now what are you referring to about the check valve and pull off? Where as that located and how do I make sure it's working? Pics of plate

Big things took place here today... After draining the vinegar and flushing it out for a good couple of hours, gave it a light sand, dusted it off, then gave the beast a MEK bath.... My buddy is much better at painting then I am so he came over for a few hours and we painted the big girl...

It's been a few since I updated this, just wanted to let everybody know where I am at. I have completely Sanded the tank down to bare metal, and have found someone who can make me a replacement decal for the front. Also after removing the bottom most pipe fitting, for the drain I found...

Figured I would let everyone know the latest... Once I got the electric motor pulley off, I noticed the outside bushing was cracked. After a little research I was able to find the proper ones from granger. I went with the name brand Wood's pulley which was twice as much as the knock off...

The hose that goes from the unloader to the switch is messed up, is that a replacement part? Or better yet can I just thread in a new line or does it have a check valve or something?

Update.... I discovered a hair line fracture in the motor pulley bushing. No big deal just need to find which one fits... The search is on. I was able to get the compressor pulley off by using a gear puller.. I can't believe how easy it was once I had it clamped down... Goes to show you...

Found a bit of time so I made some progress... My buddy and I wired it up real quick to see if it actually works.. Lol. It ran like a top.... Pulled the motor off... Pulled the compressor... Looking naked... Little bit of rust.. Pulled the pulley off the motor.. Little...
