@ Franz Lets begin with the FACT that is a superior machine to much of what is sold today. If you go to wwgrainger.com and punch the 3z number into the search box you should be able to get the book on the machine. You may have to go to the repair parts section to get it. ----------> Thank...

Will do. And yes, there is a fair share of oil on the outside of the pump..I will try all above suggestions...can you please elaborate on the "developing a real issue"...Is there something I can fix proactively? Can I still get most of the parts for this? I also know I need to do further...

I did not sir.

Thanks for all the responses and more importantly not making me feel like an idiot. I love constructive criticism and I love to learn. This makes sense to me..the electric motor turns the pump via the belt that connects the two. The pump is what fills the tank. I will check this out for...

Good question, the best I can tell the top of the head of the engine. I did not spend to much time as honestly I got a little nervous the thing was going to blow up as stupid as it sounds. BTW, I also check the oil in the engine and it is up to level. Agree on the shutting off and it's...

Hopefully someone can help with the problem I am having with my old SA AC. Thank you in advance. A little history. I bought this from a friend of mine who upgraded his system about 15-20 years ago. I think he had it 10 years before me. I think it's a decent compressor (in it's day)...

Can someone school me on hammers, dollies and sandbags? Those seem to be the basic tools and I'm sure there are 10-100s of different ones. Looking to spend as much as I have to on good tools but don't need the Porsche of tools unless it makes sense. For example, if a HB hammer set of three...

Thanks guys. I'm all about saving money but understand it will take me longer to find the "good ones" clean, polish, etc., and I don't even know what I am looking for or how to polish them anyway. I won't know a good hammer vs. a bad hammer if my life depended on it...for example, I'm huge...

BTW, I'm at post #250 in the previous suggested thread...and I'm going to go back over it again and take notes. My plan is to give back to the list by making a readers digest version and posting for others...thats my plan...

So, assuming I have zero experience I should wait for the video, watch it a couple times, make a list of tools to buy then start on one of my practice projects. Make sense?

Thanks for all the responses guys...damnesia, have you done a lot of body work to your 800s?

good advice but I don't have any scrap yet to save! I just found a local steel supplier that has a remnants barn that I need to go up to an buy some angle, sheet metal, etc. I have absolutely nothing right now other then a dream...

I wanted to introduce myself to the group. I have been speaking back and forth with Robert of MP&C and he told me it's best to introduce myself and my project to the group. I have never done any metal repair work in my life but I have a huge desire to learn. This seems like the type of work...
