I did clean everything up and fix the pressure switch. I was just looking at the fact that the discharge line is one the outside and whoever put thing thing together basically rigged up some piping to route it over the top of the compressor. Just a clean up attempt. I mean it works... not...

Yeah but I can also turn the pump 180deg and then reverse the direction of the motor... I would think that would work just as well correct?

Yeah I just went out and looked at it. There's no way it could be switched. The connections are completely different. If I'm gonna get the discharge to the other side I'm gonna have to take it off and turn it around and reverse the direction of the motor. I need to order one of the check valves...

So can anyone tell me if I can take that intercooler assembly off the left side and move it to the right? I contacted Saylor Beall and they referred me to a local place that wants to charge me to come out and look at the compressor.

Just wanted to see if it was something that I could just take off the discharge line and the aftercooler and switch them... would save me from having to take the compressor off and motor off to switch them to put the discharge line to the middle vice the outside.

That bed on the S10 is beautiful! I love that look on the S10/sonomas. The tails in the rollpan are absolutely the way to go! Very jealous.:bowdown:

So I have been looking at other threads here and I have noticed the picture I have attached. The aftercooler is on the right side of the compressor unlike mine where its on the left. Can the aftercooler and the discharge line be switched?

I am so jealous of your air compressor. It is set up so well! I bought a house that had one of these very setups in it. Im still trying to get everything figured out on it to get it set up correctly. I need to get a new aftercooler tube and check valve as well. Heres some before and after pics...

Interesting... Im gonna go home and snap pics of how everything is set up and where the relief valve is and make sure Im going about this the right way. This is my first big air compressor and I really dont have the money to replace it if it goes out. I appreciate all the help. Im also going to...

so what purpose does the tube on mine have? Going from the front of the compressor to the aftercooler?

Okay so how interpret that is that the tube connects to some fitting that is also connected to the line that fills the tank... Which I don't have that fitting. Also its set up in that picture 180 degrees from how mine is... Hmmm interesting

There has been no second guessing of the manufacturer but I really don't see anything in the manual of that particular line, but I'm still reading Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Yes there's a relief valve on one of the ports on the tank. I just don't understand why they ran it the way they did.

It's been running on it for however long the previous owner had it. If you are talking about the small line going from the front of the motor to the after cooler that's plastic, but if your talking about the fill line from the compressor to the tank that's a steel braided line.

Yeah thats true too... I may just see if I can re-run a different line or something from the compressor to the tank. That one just looks weird. The mount on the tank has some long holes cut out in it to be able to mount different compressors/motors on it. Im gonna look into that today when i get...

The only thing I have changed on the compressor setup is removed whatever switch was mounted to the side of the pressure switch that had the platic line from the compressor and aftercooler. In the second picture the pressure switch isnt installed. I think I need to unmount the compressor and the...

What do you mean by the exit discharge?

its not copper its small plastic line.

So I have a question for ya... I also have a 705 compressor and mine is not piped up the same as yours.... where does the copper line off the front of the compressor run to? Mine is piped to the after cooler and that doesnt seem right to me. It was plummed to a switch that had 2 ports on it...

Yeah I have contacted them and they sent me the manual from the compressor. Its an early to mid 80s model so theres not much to it. Im gonna go through it and see if there is anything about it. When I look at pictures of the compressor on google I dont see anything like what is set up on my...
