Craftsman gets my vote here, their tools always seem to disappoint me. Someone said it earlier and it was a great analogy, the ratchets feel like they have rocks in them. Ive busted my hands many times on their ratchets. Im gonna go against the grain here and probably catch a lot of **** for...

I used new holland blue, ford blue was a shade off from this. As for the logo, my wife used her cricut, she cleaned it up a little bit(I think some photo editing program) and printed it as large as she could, it was a 120 gallon tank so I had room lol I think I have the file on my PC at home...

Small metal lathe is on top my list currently, followed by a mig welder.

This could be my OCD or my gloom and doom IDK, but my tools are stored on the bench. all batteries are sat on the concrete floor away from anything flammable just in case. I put the batteries on the floor when I leave the shop.

I have a note on my shop door that I cant miss when walking out. Im not an electrician, so any circuit I have added myself I turn off before i leave. This would be my welder, and my compressor.

youre right I did jump a little my bad, I have one these home jobbers in my home garage, and my quincy in my shop. Ill say that I feel pretty spot on with what these can run. you might get an impact out of them or even an air ratchet but they will run constantly while using these air...

I consider these compressors only good for small air tools(airing up tires, nail gun, blow gun). beyond that they are noisy, annoying, and cant keep up with any real air tools. WIth that said, my quincy isnt exactly portable either so they have their use, but for any real air use your gonna be...

not sure of the part number, i know its right around 7 inches. I used the data sheet provided for the 350 and the HP of the motor i was going to use and a pulley calculator to come up with the proper size along with some help from a friend!

-18 ROC, It had a cracked tank so I picked up an IR t-30 and made my quincy pump fit it and used the aftercooler off the t-30 also. @The Tool Tyrant helped me get it up and running, i probably woulda gave up and found something else if it wasnt for him! I call it a resto mod compressor lol

you could road trip for this one ...

I know where ones sitting(in a body shop) thats no longer used lol

Since we are discussing compressors here, this is what im running, I use it in constant run mode with my pressure pot cabinet, and it keeps up just fine. it even cycles.

last update guys, I had a leak from the bearing plate so while I had the compressor apart I thought it was time to repaint it, I also repalced the check valve and the pilot valve and hydraulic unloader. I added a solberg to it also. and my lovely wife printed me a new logo!

good to know it wasnt dropped!! can you post a better picture of the unit so we can see all the plumbing?

just went through something similar on my quincy. I rebuilt my hyd unloader, after installing it my compressor would only make 30 psi then sit there unloaded. after seeing someone mention it looks dropped, I think you need a new hyd unloader. I thought i got mine rebuilt just fine but i...

7.5HP and id have to look but I think the pulley is right at 7"

Hopefully I can play along here, if mine doesnt count as vintage please feel free to delete my post. I picked up this quincy compressor for 500$, I was told it ran at the time of removal(pretty sure this was a lie). I got it in my shop and cleaned it up, and started a thread on here looking...

this is internet garbage, the union did not cause their downfall.

Im getting ready to paint my quincy, i think im gonna see how well acrylic enamel works.
