I'd need more specs but with a new head that's worth $350 all day long here in Alberta.

 

[Chaznsc]

Uses oil? No thank you.

 

[awdblazer]

the old head uses oil not the new head

 

[bran1har]

I would say no. Talk him down to like 250, you coul get an 80 gallon for that price.

 

[awdblazer]

see the thing is not many compressors here for sale and the ones for sale are astronomical in price
I have been waiting for pricessauto for theirs to come on sale, 500, but I haven't seen one yet

That looks like a entire new pump, not just a head. And that is not a Campebell-Hausfeld pump, some other brand of replacement pump.

Wound not pay $350 for it.

[awdblazer]

Charles, what would you pay for it? or just walk away from it?

Compressor head is another term for compressor pump.

That looks like the cheap harbor freight head to me.

Noticed 125psi, 60gallon tank..... That unit is more of a "hobbiest" grade of compressor..that was built to sell for a lower cost .. No, I would not give $350 for that unit.


Can you hold out for a commercial grade compressor rated 175psi, 80gallon tank?? Better stuff that is built to last longer..

Exactly! Not worth 250 with that head on it.

An 80 gallon? 80 gallon what and from what chinese factory?

Well, you could go to the HF website and compare images of the HF replacement PUMPS to the one posted in the sellers ad..... Head is a part of the pump... I replaced the head on one of my small pumps last year.... (No, mine is not a HF pump)

 

[KPSquared]

Umm guys...unless you're from close to the OP your valuations are kinda useless.

Don't forget, we have to pay a LOT more for stuff here.

If you can get more info on that head, That would be good. There's hardly and decent used compressors out here either man... and every tool box is apparently worth $4000 used...

 

[TAMPAGT07]

Honestly, I'd find a 5hp / 60 gal for $350......That's not a great deal, fair deal at best....I would hold out, personally..

 

[awdblazer]

ok I am going to wait for princessauto to have theres on for sale for 500 which is a sanborn 60 gallon

The compressor pump appears similar to the Italian built ABAC units.
Worth every cent here in Australia
Cheers

There's a couple out here in Edmonton but so many are worn out.

$500 at Princess gets you some warranty and peace of mind. That's gotta be worth the extra $150...

I paid $375 plus a hour drive to pick up the exact same compressor. As for the pump, I wouldnt be to worried about it. The original head is relatively easy to get a rebuild kit for if the new head takes a ****. Plus the old head is pretty bullet proof. I do cnc plasma cutting so its constantly running for a good 3 hours straight quite a few days a week.

Go for it. Id pay $400+ for it again in a heartbeat.
