Just bought this 80 gallon 5HP vertical air compressor from a friend in need - Looking for some information and possibly a manual on it. I have searched google to no avail. The ID tag is badly worn but I made out a model # of C521E80V. I am not sure if the motor is OE to the compressor or not...
large screwdriver with a groove ground in the side of it - about 3/8" from the tip works fine for me. been doing it this way for 10 years. Once in a great while a pair of vise grips comes into play.
It looks to me like the head is worn - I have tried taking parts from 3 different ratchets to make one work - no dice. its like I need a thicker snap-ring or something.
I have the opposite problem - my old long handle =v= has too much room in the snap-ring groove, and the ring expands too far and doesn't hold the front plate in - anyone have any suggestions on how to fix it?
