If you want used - Columbia SC is not terribly far but you would need to come like, tomorrow. Shop a block from me has about 14 lifts that is closing down. They have three older AAA 9k ones for $1000 each The others are all only one to 4 years old and look nearly new. Several much larger 15 to...

Got it all apart finally. Still have to do some cleanup to really be 100% sure of the condition of each area but its a little worse than I had thought. The condensation all inside with the combination of the oil and water left little rust "bubbles" on just about every internal surface. On the...

Interesting idea. I've heard of people using that and something else as an alternative penetrating oil. I have a can of Kroil which I've already put some of that on. I have some atf around here somewhere. I'll put a nice bit of that on as well. Can only help. Thanks for the tip! After I let it...

Well. I could not help myself. It just looked too shiny and good. I could not see any visible signs of it getting extremely hot like discoloration or bubbling of any paint or anything although I really have no idea of there would have been any sort of visible signs anyways. So I bought it...

A few pics of this one I just mentioned. Even though its the same model as the old one I have it as I mentioned is far newer. As such some things are quite different. On mine the intercooler pipe connects to the bottom back side of the head. On this one that connects to the ports on the sides of...

So..... work got stupid busy and I've had the Quincy sitting in pieces waiting on time to get back to it. About to and am going to start a new thread on the rebuild. Its been fun actually... A side question though. Seems I'm on a compressor finding run for some reason. So I ran across a far...

And..... knocked the surface rust off the big 120 gallon tank. Even hung it on end from the forklift and rinsed it out. A minor bit of rust flakes but nothing very scary. I probably should have gone out and bought a bunch of reducers and a few zerks, filled it with water, put a gauge on it and...

Yuck! The air coming out of that Quincy smells absolutely gross. :puke: That is downright foul and disgusting. On looking closer I am thinking I just might want to tear it down and give it a good going over. Once again though.... how can I order the right set of gaskets and whatnot without know...

Small update..... have not had much time to mess with things but I did clean up the IR, made some test connections for it and ran it up. The receiver is compromised on it. :( Two pinhole leaks on the bottom. Both near where the feet are welded on. on opposite ends and sides. I'm not willing to...

So yesterday I went today and took a look at the other tank and pump. To my pleasant surprise the tank is a monster. Its a 1991 Buckeye industrial 120 gallon. Real schedule 40 and only a light skim of rust inside. Nothing disturbing at all and another pleasant surprise is the spring supported...

Well.... you were right. The other pump from the craigslist ad is indeed a Quincy. Here is how things went sort of... Went to the auction on Saturday. Ended up getting one of the IR T30 units. Part of the deal was that the buyer has to fully remove it since they were still fully installed. So...

Interesting thought on the 252 pump. I guess if the price is right I could always get one or both of these and upgrade again later. I was also looking close at a duplex setup. There is also (not in this auction) locally a 130 gallon horizontal tank for sale that has a nice big wide platform on...

Thanks Jack. If it helps this is a couple of pictures. Based on the graphics and looking at others onlines I'm guessing these to be from the 80's or 90's. I wonder what the complexity would be to mount them both together to make them into a duplex setup. Or would that be just the same as...

I cannot argue with free... :) These came with our most recent wide format printer for assembling it. I was a bit surprised at the quality and to see Vessel on the phillips. The long hex wrenches are stamped <ASH> which are Asahi - those are also marked with CRV. :) The blue handles 2.5mm hex is...

Afternoon yall'. At an upcoming auction there are two older grey pump IR T30 compressors. Pumps are type 242 (5C). Each has a 3PH 5HP motor (one is Baldor - other is something else, forgot to get a pic of it). Both are clean units in very good well maintained condition (the air filters even have...
