    Replacement motor advice for a Husky (CH) compressor

    If rpm is reduced on a splash lube pump make certain the rpm does not drop below the mfg’s min recommended rpm. About the only compressor duty motors worth a flip are Baldor.

    just bought my first "real" compressor - is it too big?

    $200 for a 120 gal @ 200 psi code tank is a you **** steal round these parts. The motor, pump and starter are gravy esp if you expand and move to a larger facility with 3 ph power. For now buy a 1ph air compressor and use the 120 gal tank for a receiver drier and not look back.... other than to...

    My Snap On story

    I've dealt with SO customer support women who I believe would've been capable of finding a replacement in this case.... they have for me in the past for other parts. Don't sell customer service short before giving it a shot or two.

    Tekton vs vintage Craftsman

    Been using hand tool for 50+ yrs. First set was CM with RP wrenches Since then I’ve prolly owned at least one tool of most mfg dead or alive. To me one of the most useful features of US CM sockets is their full depth broaching. This makes them’weaker’ but more useful. Just depends on the user &...

    Piecing together an air compressor

    Thar rig would be undersized for your purposes although it might work at it in a pinch. Regardless make sure your old/new tank is an ASME code tank. There will be a small metal plate tack welded to the tank giving info like mfg, mfg date, press@temp... If you use an old tank you prolly need to...
