Jimbo, Thanks for your contributions to the site.

+1 on the Fumoto valve. I have one on each of the vehicles in "the fleet." Makes dealing with the oil pans pretty much a thing of the past.

I had Wick put one up for me. Rather than post it here, I'd be happy to give you my perspective of the experience offline. I'm in Tonganoxie. My neighbor had QSI put one up for him. I don't know about his experience but I've seen the finished product. I also got an estimate from QSI when...

So I'm going to begin finishing my unfinished basement. OK, it's not a garage but what if I said I'll throw in a workbench in the unfinished portion of the basement? The pictures attached show an outside wall that I will need to frame. I'd like to maximize the basement space so want to set the...

Welcome from the Tonganoxie area.

So far I've got the new pressure switch and now it kicks on and off as it is supposed to. Next I'll begin tearing down the pump to figure out what, exactly, I need to purchase in order to bring it back to new. I've got quite a few other projects in the works and this has taken somewhat of a...

Re: gtae07 Suggested Fixture Layout 28' x 24' x 8' I purchased 15 led-ready 4 ft fixtures and 30 LED tubes (4 ft. 18 watt, 4000k ) as recommended in the "Best light ever" thread. I'm getting ready to wire up my lights and would like to use the layout as pictured in the top left. I've got a...

Thanks, chrispyny. I know I have a 310-21. My question is which rebuild kit to buy. I'm leaning toward the TUK but would appreciate everyone's thoughts. QUINCY STYLE TUNE UP KITS - $42 - Have been assembled, which contain an Air Filter, Oil Filter, Valve Discs, Valve Springs, Unloader...

What overhaul/tune-up kit do you recommend getting? I've been looking at various sites but not sure which one to get. There are several here: http://oemaircompressor.com/QuincyAirCompressor-ReciprocatingPartsandRebuildKits.aspx. I don't mind spending a little money on this but don't want...

That's good to know and thanks! I still plan on rebuilding the pump because I do hear a slight knock. It will be worth it in the end. In the meantime, I've been working on the pressure switch and hope to have it sorted out soon. Everything looked OK and I think it was just the contacts that...

So here are some pictures of the filter. It is soaked in oil but I cannot tell how it would get there. As you can see, it would have to come out of the side of the pump and then up the pipe. There doesn't appear to be any passage for the oil that is purpose built. Also, all the diagrams I've...

So I'm trying to locate a pressure switch to replace the Furnas Style H11 that is defective. Google isn't my friend today. Anyone know what the specs on this thing is or where I can get a replacement?

I took a couple of measurements last night. The pullies are 4" and 14". These are the outside dimensions. From eye-balling it with a tape measure, it looks to be about 3.5" and 13.5" where the belt runs. RPM of the motor is 1750 (per the data plate). So the pump is running at 450-500 RPM...

So I've been cleaning it up a bit and started blasting some small parts. I was actually using the compressor and a table top HF blast cabinet. The pressure was up to 150 and the compressor had no problem keeping up. I was going to blast the air cleaner housing but noticed it had quite a bit...
