    Air compressor identification

    That makes sense, for some reason I thought I had seen more around and it was a kellog, curtis, quincy, SB, kind of brand. I must have associated the colors with them or something. Guess I'm back on the hunt.

    Air compressor identification

    Looks like its working now, maybe its a no name and I'm just getting my wires crossed, lost of older compressors seem to be that blue/green/silver color from my searching.

    Son maybe buying a house, Has some Asbestos

    Snap ring pliers for a turbo rebulid?

    I had a pair sitting right next to the turbo for a week while I've been looking for the "correct" pliers. I'll pickup a extra set and grind them and try them, thanks for the idea.
