I think it would be a good deal for blasting, we thought of doing something similar at the farm until my dad got a deal on a bigger compressor. You could adjust the switches and get them to turn on pretty close I would think Sent from my C771 using Tapatalk 2

More curious about the pump then the rest really since it says USA on it I was wondering if I was missing something but anything I've seen it seems pretty similar to the 3.2 hp 60 gallon they sell Sent from my C771 using Tapatalk 2

Does anyone know much about the farmhand compressors. I found this one locally on CL and I see the pump says USA on the side. Any experiences, or if anyone knows any info on it would be great thanks. http://siouxfalls.craigslist.org/tls/4356890428.html Sent from my C771 using Tapatalk 2

Actually its dark gray paint its just hard to tell with the valley phone pic but the whole inside was painted other than a strip right at the bottom that was rusted Sent from my C771 using Tapatalk 2

No I haven't tested it, I guess I haven't even thought about it Sent from my C771 using Tapatalk 2

I did drain it regularly myself but I only had it for about a year so it was to late and as for what I learned, definitely buying new and gettin an auto drain (which I was actually thinking about doing this summer) Sent from my C771 using Tapatalk 2

No it was about four inches over from that, I guess you can't tell in the pics but it stretched and blew in the middle towards the opposite end, and the part your talking about was torn in the process Sent from my C771 using Tapatalk 2

You guys are starting to over think this a bit, there was no fiery explosion and no signs of one anywhere if I missed watching it, no smoke either. Its as simple as it did get rusted to much, no welds blew they are all intact. Then some the switch and relief failed and it blew. Sent from my...

I'm not much for wood benches but that sure looks sharp, and much thanks for your service Sent from my C771 using Tapatalk 2

It blew about five inches from the weld I would assume the cylinder peeled of the caps as it blews Sent from my C771 using Tapatalk 2

That makes sense to me although it was on suspension bushings so it did have some flex, I wouldn't have bolted it down except it liked to wonder Sent from my C771 using Tapatalk 2

No it was bolted down and as far as the bang well the county sheriff has a shooting range just down the road from my farm and I'd say it was similar to bomb squad practice day Sent from my C771 using Tapatalk 2

Oh yeah it had that plate, I cant recall if it had a safety rating or not but the plate is MIA at the moment Sent from my C771 using Tapatalk 2

It was horizontal sitting on wall of sorts that my portable tank normally sat in and yes there is a small band of rust at the bottom. As for what hit the ceiling that was the whole compressor. I was on the deck with the dog when it happened and the doors where open so I watched it go flying into...

What is meant by the receiver? Would that be the manifold where the check ball and pump discharge is? Sent from my C771 using Tapatalk 2

No auto drain yet, that was on my list of things to do but I know my next one will sure have one or at least an extended drain so its easy to do Sent from my C771 using Tapatalk 2

Oh yeah it was a 20 gallon tank was all, normally I have a 30 gallon portable tank hooked up to it but I had that up at the house at the time. Sent from my C771 using Tapatalk 2

It was cheap line off brand made by IR and I believe the plate said about 17 years old. I put a new motor on it about a year ago and I put a new switch and release valve on it at the same time, the tank was rated for 150 and the switch was set at 120 and relief valve was 125, the bottom of the...

Well like the title says yesterday my compressor tank blew up. Luckily nobody was in there and the damage is mostly cosmetic. The compressor was on a half wall that had 2x12s for a top and I think the energy that the wall absorbed really saved the wall and ceiling. Sent from my C771 using...

personally I prefer perpendicular I've had both and I thought the parallel seemed to have dead spots when working under or besides things but I think that was more of a placement thing and as far as flooring, if you do a lot of heavier or fabricating work its hard to beat sealed concrete, a lot...
