Yeah, I read into it wrong, I thought the topic was about theft. In a some areas you can likely get away simply concealing the fact that a package has been delivered to avoid theft

It's called a (locking) parcel box or a parcel drop box. You'd need an absolutely enormous one for tools. Maybe with some manner of absorption for the shock of dropping the parcel into the bottom. While the ones you can buy are already certified for both u.s. mail and parcels, It's fathomable...

My elevation is 270ft to 300ft. So it's probably not of a big effect. I want the 5hp pump from HF. It costs the same money and looks like it pushes more air but it's not measured in scfm for whatever reason. Also never in stock so I'd wheel and deal with manager Some people say it works with...

It works now. I used a 2" single groove pulley with 46" - AX44 v-belt. Though, it seems like there is more belt noise when I use a single belt. Spinning around 811 rpm, it takes 7 minutes to reach the cut off pressure of 105 psi, which according to a pump up calculator means is making 8.19 cfm...

If so I hope you can work your dark magic on this one.

Rip $22. Idk if it matters for the belt but it's not a true 5hp it's peak 5hp I guess 8.5 flywheel is going to have to stay since all the 14 inch ones are pricey enough to just buy a whole 'nother harbor freight pump. Maybe an air compressor graveyard around here has a 12 or 14in. On ebay I a...

It looks like a mess but it also cost 150 for the tank pump and 2 motors. 🤷‍♂️

Should have said the unloader no longer continuously leaks when off. It now only leaks briefly when turned off but it's always leaking when on. Didn't quite specify but the Milton check valve I installed is brand new and correctly plumbed. Surely it's not bad already. I'll take pictures of the...

The belts being run are 4L480W. So far I only seen as small as 2.5 inch 2 groove pulleys online.

Those crimpers work but you're going to regret not having a pair or two of the ratcheting crimpers laying around in a bag. The best thing I ever got from HF was an air impact. I used it a lot on a 8 gallon hotdog compressor. Everyone online pretends like an 8 gallon won't work because it's to...

I put the 2 groove 3-7/16 pulley on and got new belts and plumbed in a milton check valve. Everything sounds healthier. The unloader doesn't leak when the compressor is off anymore but it does leak when running. The compressor takes what seems like too long to fill but it now makes 80 psi...

1) The motor is 5hp spl, 3150 rpm, 230v. 2)The motor pulley is single groove around 4-1/2 inches. The compressor pulley is 2 groove and about 8-1/2 inches. 3) The distance from the centers is about 13-15/16 inches. 4) It's a dewalt pump but I can't find specs for it. I think I found the model...

I have a second hand air compressor which had a another pump installed on it. Starting it with an empty tank and empty transfer tube, the motor barely runs the compressor to 15psi before struggling to build pressure. The unloader also keeps venting when I turn it off. When I open the tank to...
