hey fordbronco - I have a plug on the side. What's the easiest way to break those open? They are pretty tight. I've tried with a breaker bar and long bar at the end and couldn't break it lose.

I have the 3/8 - 50 good year (orange), and it works fine, but had to unwind that thing and lay it out at first. Then, it was fine and has not been a headache since.

very nice!

I'm interested to see how others have tried to fix rust inside a compressor as well. I also picked up a compressor from CL and it works fine, but if I can somehow slow down the rust inside, that would be awesome. I've used phosphoric acid from home depot and it works great, but how are you...

Yep, those are foam insulation for my water heater. Hey Dan - It's made by Sanborn and puts out 12.7 cfm at 40 psi. I think Sanborn was purchased by Coleman in the late 80's or early 90's. I've read a few threads on here stating that, but I'm sure someone else can chime in. The plate on the...

A lot of top of the line compressors here... I just picked this one up. Traded some car parts for it. Guy needed my parts and I needed a bigger compressor. Nothing exciting, but better than the 33 gallon oil-less craftsman I was running. Cleaned her up... removed some surface rust, added a new...

Awesome guys!... thank you!. No K&N it is... ARAMP1 - that looks sweet...

gotcha..appreciate the comments guys...

Thanks guys.. what do you guys use?

I think I will go for it. I just don't want to keep buying filters when they need replacing when I can just clean it. Going green... must re-use.. ;)

Thanks guys.. Jastech - you've had that compressor for a while? CNGsaves - that's a pretty scary story, but somewhat comforting knowing that my compressor tank should be able to hold more pressure. :lol: It had some surface rust and the worst part from what I saw was the minor pitting. The...

I was wondering if any of you is using a K&N filter for your compressor or have thought about it? Any downside? I am thinking that it would make it easier for future maintenance.

Got her cleaned up and hooked up. This compressor had so much dust on her, they were falling off like dirt while cleaning it. My garage floor is a mess! She fills up pretty fast and going to try to use her this thanksgiving weekend. Well, here she is... Thanks again to the fellas that chimed...

I tried using a 2-3 foot pipe attached to my breaker bar last night and did not work. That thing is tight! The reason why I said maybe an impact gun might do it. I'm just going to leave it alone.

Wow!.. I can kind a see it.. a lot of smuggling across the border, but that's funny. no cash eh? :lol2: The place I called was a fire extinguisher place. He said he's never done a compressor before but was willing to do it. He says to open it up and see if I can take a peak inside and call him...
