According to my hero @sakurama , the Kranzle is the king of pressure washers. I've no knowledge, but will trust Gregor's opinion. https://www.kranzleusa.com/

So the seller provided some new pictures. I'm even more confused. It looks like it's actually a Curtiss compressor pump. I thought the compressor company spelled their name Curtis , with one s. From the ID tag, I'm not finding a model number.

I just saw this Quincy on FB marketplace. It's in west, central Illinois. I have no affialtion, it's not mine. It's too far away, and I'm afraid of a divorce if I bring home another project before finishing an existing... I've asked for more photos and information, hopefully the seller is...

Folks, I asked the initial question nearly eleven years ago. Today, I'm a Quincy cushion chamber collector. Possibly, the preeminent cushion chamber collector in the world ! I've got two ! Does anyone have a larger collection :geek: Unfortunately, both of mine are the same size. In the...

Resurrecting an old thread, I started 9 years ago :) I got one ! Sorta... I got a short, fat 30 gallon. The blue, Quincy, is what I'd call a traditional sized tank. About 16"x36" = 30 gallons. The red, RamAir, is kinda chunky. About 19"x25" = 30 gallons. There's some truth in...

Gosh, I know I've made this harder than it needs to be... Thank you all for the input and information. @walta, that document is the best I've seen ! So, I'm looking for an Allen Bradley 836T, or Square D type A. I believe I need a single set of contacts, to engage the motor starter. It'll get...

I'm sure if I'm asking this question, I'm not qualified to be doing this work :) Other than expense, is there any reason not to use an industrial pressure switch on an air compressor ? Properly sized, wired and adjusted. Something like the photo below.

Hello, I'm looking for a cushion chamber for an air compressor I'm building. I usually see these on old Quincys. I want it purely for cosmetics , size, function, isn't too important. Below is a picture from Google of a cushion chamber. Thanks, Steve

Driftpin, it would just bug me, if I didn't at least try a few times to break it free. I figure I've still got a $50 budget and a couple hours of sweat I'm willing to invest. I appreciate your suggestions! Steve

Hi folks, I bought an old fire hydrant for my dog. A US Pipe Sentinel 250. I'm trying to disassemble it completely, before striping and repainting. The top... bonnet ? won't come off. I know, I know, I know, I should just leave it stuck and start painting... The bonnet is 10" in diameter and...

Folk, forgive me if this is inappropriate... I've got an old, really nice Lufkin 50' case. It's missing the tape. Is it possible to buy the tape and respool ?
