Jeesh what fun is that? :dunno:

Already knew from reading the dolly post when it was posted

So back in the early 1980's when I was much younger and knew pretty much everything about everything, I bought the 3 cylinder version of that compressor, an IR 105, out of a hedge row. I was on my quest for MORE AIR. I started out with a 1hp electric compressor and figured out quickly that...

Hum, yes or I'd say Quincy compressors are the Ann Margret's in compressor genre Next in line.......IR type 30's would be ?

I'm much less attracted to non- Quincy compressors. Probably a good thing

Very true. People today see more value in a nice shiny new compressor from the box stores. With a pot metal pump and no oil pump. If it lasts 10 years, they throw it out and buy another. I'd actually think it would be lucky to find someone that would pay $400-500 for it. However a creative ad...

I hear ya. I've been lucky with my joints so far. My GF got 2 new knees at the same time in 2016, doing well ever since. I'm at the point I've collected and hoarded most of the tools & equipment I always wanted but could never afford when I was younger. Letting go will happen, but I just need...

Can I have the name of your therapist? Someday I'm gonna have to quell the herd. Can't imagine doing that right now tho..... :D

Tire kicker......:ROFLMAO:

Post a video when you have it running :geek:

370? 390? You must acquire that!

Interesting to hear the details. Disappointing to hear about the limited length issue as I use screw machine length drills whenever possible. I can't imagine drill grind surface finish would affect drilled hole finish. 25 yrs ago I scored a Darex M5 at auction for $50 and have been happy with...

I installed an elec. auto drain on my new tank, there's a stainless elbow and tube on the bottom drain port (vertical tank). The tube comes out from under the tank about 10" to the auto drain. Any water that accumulates sits in the 304 stainless tube not in the bottom of the steel tank.

We learn as we go. Probably back in about 1980 my first 'outside pot' blaster was a DIY gravity feed 'turd'. Powered with 2 Bendix-Wabco truck air brake compressors run off of an old 16hp garden tractor. I had about 18? CFM and thought I was all set. Nope! Next step, a 1940's IR 105 CFM portable...

It's a Kason unit. I can't find the exact model in any of their literature.

If he asked 2 days ago you could have put it on your list to Santa. Might have showed up under the tree this morning

I've always been shifty, now I able to be sifty as well.....:geek:

Kinda quiet on this thread. Last month I picked up a sifter to go along with my crushed glass media experiments. It was only $55, but a 250 mile round trip to retrieve. Did a brief try-out with it before the weather took a dump. it works pretty slick, has 3 levels of particle separation. Had...

Just noticed the tiny air filters on the big Quincy. Wow choked down.

Mine is 480 as well. All the wires for the starter and the motor wires are a bit crusty. Instead of disturbing them, I installed a small Acme transformer wired in reverse to boost my 240 to 480. Been like that for 20 years now, no issues.
