Where has everyone had the best luck ordering parts from?

Hi Guys, Just a quick update. I decided to rebuild the green pump. I pulled the head and the valves had some carbon but not as bad as I expected. There is no scoring or ridges in the cylinders and you can still see the cross hatching. It looks brand new. I pulled the inspection cover and...

Here are some pics of the Quincy 325 pumps I got. Both are Roc of 7 so I assume they are pretty old. I think they will be a better pump than the IR T30 2475 pump I have now.

Ya I'm thinking thinking of using both pumps to make one good one. I figure I can sell the ingersoll rand t30 2475 pump but keep the vertical 80 gallon tank and put the Quincy 325 on the tank.

Hi everyone, As requested here are some pics. On another note tomorrow I'm getting two older Quincy 325 pumps and a 5hp single phase motor for $410.00.

Thanks for all of the info guys. Yesterday I bought and older (tanks say 1996) Ingersoll Rand T30 2475, 80 gallon compressor with a 5hp 3 phase motor. I'm in the process of cleaning it up and putting a single phase 5hp motor on it. I know this might seem like a lot of money to some of you but I...

Hey guys thanks for all of the help. I will go out and check the connections at the tombstones.

Merry Christmas everyone, I recently installed some 4 bulb T5HO light fixtures in my garage. One of the light fixtures will only light 2 of the 4 bulbs. All bulbs are brand new and the bulbs that didn't turn on were tried in another fixture to ensure that the bulbs are good. The light fixtures...
