Big Blue's tank popped a pin hole in the bottom. So I put the word out I needed a tank and a friend gave me a tank with a 5hp Saylor - Beall Compressor attatched to it-lol Blue is now on Craigslist for $300.00 :(

Set in place and piped and wired up!!

Scored this back in the Spring for FREE!! Saylor-Beall 705 5hp. A friend had it in a lean to behind his garage. After taking her apart and painting, I put her back together. Runs great!!

Got her all put back together and running!! Now to plumb her up to my air lines.

Re: What did you do to your garage today? Jim, that Compressor is part of the garage---LOL!!

Re: What did you do to your garage today? Put more parts back on my Saylor-Beall old pic

Rattle canned the tank with Hammerite

Herb, great place you have here!! I need to stop by sometime--lol Clay B.

Thanks Herb!! I like redoing old stuff!! Plus I'm cheap--lol

Cleaned up the motor. Filled the tank with water to prepare to pressure test.

pulled the side cover to replace the gasket and to clean out the crankcase, went to torque down the bolts and I stripped out the lower right bolt hole. Had to tap to 3/8" and drill the cover. :mad:

735 Pump painted

Just saw 'em and bought em--lol

Cleaned up the pump

Thanks for the compliments!! Never painted before, I'm in the "buy up supplies" stage. It's going slow, money's tight--lol

Picked this up for free. Saylor-Beall 735-80 5hp

Started the paint booth build. 1 x 2s, air filters, poly, and a cardboard door. Air nailed together with wood glue.

Quick disconnect so I can take my dryer/filter down when I'm not using it. Just un-do the lag bolt at the dryer.

Hung the old hood from the ceiling!!

I painted it myself--lol It's Safety Blue. I got it from a service station turned cigerette store. 1964 is the year on the tank.
