    I got a free air compressor from my uncle.

    Before I'd buy a motor I'd have this one checked to see what the problem is. It may be somethin very simple and inexpensive. Five horse motors are expensive.

    I have the pressure switch set at 150psi off and 110psi on. As best I can tell everythang is working properly. I am happy. I don't guess I can post pictures. I don't have an url.

    I have taken some pictures that I will post, but right now it is on stand still, because of the weather. In between rain, I am having to redo a metal roof that was installed last year. I tried to get the installer to repair it, but after seeing his work from above I am glad he did not show...

    Schurkey, it has two cylinders, large and small, it has two cooling tubes between the small cylinder and the flywheel (pulley). So it is a two stage pump. (Thanks.) The horsepower of the motor is 1.5. The motor does not have capacitors. It is probably 80 years old. The man that repairs motors...

    I'll be honest. My reason fer black iron is that I can get it second hand fer the price of removing it. I have pipe threading and cutting tools. I have no problem with second hand black iron. Although I am reading more and more positive about PVC. I think a lot of the problem is a rigid...

    I watched the video that dfiler2 gave a link to. It made sense. I won't be using PVC. I am not sure what I will be using because of the cost. All I have ever seen used is black iron pipe. I've been working in Garages fer 61 years. I have seen PVC in a couple of quick lube type places recently...

    All I know about drywall (what I call sheet rock) is that I refuse to use it fer anythang. I do have some in my house but it was there when I bought the house. OSB (what I call wafer board) is what I use everywhere I can. I have no idea about the merits of either one. Mule

    Due to the rain and having to move the lean-to in order to do anythang to the compressor I may not be working on it fer a few days. I don't like working in the rain. I am gonna try to get some pictures and post them. Mule

    Thanks, dfiler2, for the polite response. I have no problem with the responses that say no, but there should never be any reason for rudeness. I see it almost everytime I look around this forum. But you are correct when you say it is not everyone and there is lots of knowledge here. I am 72...

    The first 5 comments to my question are examples of why I spend very little time on this forum.

    Thanks, Stuart. I appreciate the explanation. I did a search but came up with very little. Mule

    The actual reason fer it not running was a very bright dark green bug. It looked like a potato bug, but I ain't never seen one that color. It was between a set of contacts in the pressure switch. The motor needed cleaning out even if that was not the real reason. Mule

    What do y'all think about using 1" schedule 40 PVC pipe with 450 psi maximum working pressure as stationary air compressor line? Mule

    Yes, I did. I opened my e-mail to see if there was a notification from here nd low & behold there was this. The compressor is outside under a lean-to. The pressure gauge is inside. So, I need to rig a gauge outside and then set the regulator. I also need to set the unloader valve. Can anyone...
