Finally got back to working on the compressor. I cleaned up the valves and put on some new gaskets that I got from Air Supply. The compressor and motor did not come with a tank but I had already purchased an 80 Gallon tank that was almost new. It looks like the Quincy compressor was on a...

Tore it down and it actually looks pretty clean. There was an oil leak from the HP cylinder but the walls look good with no scoring at all. The reed valves were dirty but nothing obvious that would have caused it to be overpressure. I am going to clean it up and order some gaskets to give it a...

vwpieces, Thank you again for your help. The link you provided gave me all the documents I need for operation and maintenance. I went ahead and purchased the head because it is a Quincy and even their new low end products are supposed to be pretty good. This is a late 80's unit and it looks...

Thank you. I had gone to the Quincy home page and put in AT5 and it came back as not found. Didn't see this page.

vvpieces, Thank you for the quick reply and link. Unfortunately I do not have a RevBase account. May be why whatever this is did not show up in a google search?

Is anyone familiar with a Quincy AT5 compressor head. All I can find from google searching is QT5 information. I found a used one for sale and wanted to get some information on specs and parts availability. I sent a message to Quincy but they have not responded.

Well, I picked it up. Not sure if it needs the cylinder or pump or both rebuilt but got it a price I figure I can do it all and still be in the ballpark of what it should be worth. Needs a lot of cleanup

I have found an old OTC Y-225 Hydraulic Press that I am interested in buying. It has a hand pump mounted to the frame which is plumbed to a cylinder on top. I could not find anything through a google search so thought I would ask if anyone was familiar with the model and what their impression...

I have an old Champion R15 compressor on a 120 gallon tank. It seems to be taking longer to fill than it used to and I would like to take a look and see if it just needs the valves cleaned or if more work is necessary. I did a google search but could not find a Service Manual PDF. I have an...

Good suggestion, had not gotten around to looking for the data sheets yet. I was thinking that the downdraft would actually be more desirable. I would be able to mount it right up against the ceiling along with the return air ducts so that I would be getting the warm air from the ceiling...

I purchased a home with a 40x60x14 building. The walls are poured concreate for the first 4' and then another 10' stick built construction. Walls and ceiling are covered with OSB. Walls are insulated with fiberglass and there is about 12" of blown in cellulous in the ceiling. There are 2-...

It is one piece and I was not able to find anything like it. Luckily the silver solder idea worked and it appears to be holding well. I would still like to find some of fitting just in case but for now it looks like I am operational.

Thank you for the reply. I guess I have start out with saying that I mistyped. For some reason I keep wanting to call it copper tubing when it is brass. Probably because I have used copper for years and had never run across brass. I could try knocking it off of the line but my fear would be...

I purchased a bridge jack for my 4 post lift and have been cleaning it up. It was pretty rusty and needed a complete teardown, clean up, and repainting. It had been leaking when I got it and I found a crack in a hard line going from the air over hydraulic pump to the cylinder. I took it to a...

I was wondering how it worked out for you. I realize this is from over a year ago but I found one just like it locally and was curious if you were satisfied with the way it worked.
