New little shop compressor

[bsaint]

One of my guys gave me this compressor for free. Couldn’t have been at a better time as I have been on the hunt for something small for my garage. Nameplate current is 19a at 110v. I think I’m going to switch it out for a 3/4 hp a small pulley to run the pump at its slowest speed. Keep the wall current low. I don’t need volume I just need to pump up tires and blow things out once in a while.

Score! Looks to be a Quincy 210 pump from here. You ****.

If the pump is a 210, recommended HP is 1-2. If it's a 206, 3/4-2 HP. Minimum RPM:400

I think that's a 216, I have the same unit which I believe was sold by Binks. If it is a 216 it can run at up to 900RPM / 3HP, pretty sure you will need a 1.5 HP motor to maintain it at it's lowest operating RPM of 400.

edit: Just watched your video and see it's a 210, disregard

I think it’s 1hp at the rated pressure. I think I can get away with a 3/4 if I lower the pressure.

Was the tank drained with any regularity?

Old pumps are great, but old tanks can be dangerous

Probably not. Im not too worried about it. Youll get pinhole leaks before the tank explodes, there are no pin hole leaks.

What are the sizes of your pullies? I'm looking to install a 3HP motor to replace my 1.5 Marathon unit that is running with a 4:1 Ratio and need to go to 2:1, maybe we can swap?

I’ll measure what’s on it now but I need a 3” od pulley for a 2-5/8 b belt drive diameter.

i'm running 3.5/14 dual V belt in my setup so not going to work. Probably should have taken a better look at your pics.

That’s twice you looked too fast lol.

Anyways just ordered a new safety relief valve and Lincoln style fittings and coupler for the garage.
