I bought a 74 year old compressor today on Market place. - Page 5

I did not use hardener in my paint. It does not require it, but it takes a while to cure if you do not use it.
I have left it sit outside in the sun to help get the paint to fully cure. I put it on kind of thick and I want it to last.

Compressor is not done yet but it is closer to where it will live right beside my other compressor.

Here it is in the new shop the Emax stayed in the old shop.
This old compressor is running my plasma table grinders...

The oil pressure was low and lower when hot.
I looked up the oil that Quincy recommended you use 30 weight. I bought some Quincy oil.
that is 30 weight compressor oil. Now it is very happy I had to lower the oil pressure.
Even when hot it has great oil pressure. I will switch to using this oil.
This compressor is doing a great job running the shop.

When I am not sandblasting this compressor runs the whole shop.
it has been doing great. Another year and I have done nothing to it but oil changes.
It runs every day now I am full time in the shop.
