Daverods project 66

[daverod]

Hay I did just buy two rusty front fenders on ebay. Even got a patch panel for one of them. Recieved my air line and connectors for my bags. Haven't had much time or money. When I get home I'm beat. Working on a addition to a house and there's no shade. White house, white concrete ,you get the idea. When I do have energy I waste it improving my wake boarding skills. Did a face plant so hard I was'nt sure if my eye balls were still in my head. Don't worry I willl finish my truck.,

So thats where I'm all screwed up. I knew about the parts part.

[daverod]

Ya Baby. Christmas came early. Work=money=tools/parts. Thanks for clearing that up for me Bubba. About time to fire up Daverods Paint Shop.

[MacAttack]

Hey - that was supposed to come to my house!

[daverod]

I know you need one. Everyone needs more tools. Now all I need is to figure out how to wire it. Wheres that Bubba guy when you need him.

Now ya have think how your going to plug it in. I don't see no 220 outlets.

[Alan's Classic]

They drop shipped it to the wrong coast. Is it a 2 stage? Looks nice.

[Strodder]

I already have two. One in my house garage, and one in the shop. The one in the garage is great for blowing off the car, truck and bike after I wash them. I also use it for blowing out the interior. Does a better job than a vacuum cleaner some times.

[bubba327]

If I gotta come wire it , I want user privileges!!! Let me know how it works ,
Mine is a old old Montgomery Wards compressor on the second tank after the first rusted out. It started making strange noises last week, Is running longer to make pressure and the bleedoff is sticking on shutdown. Christmas may have to come here also.

might need to chainge the oil in it , or perhabs just fill it again
you can actually rebuild stuff like that if you can still find part for that brand that is , a general cleaning putting in new bearings and re-ring the pistons usually does wonders
if you use the little valve on the bottom of the tank to let the water out ocasionally the tank can last a long time too ...... might even be the reason the compressor starts more often to keep the pressure on ...... ive seen on one ocasion the tank filled halfway with water and oil wish brought the volume of air down to half the tank as whell

Had to pull a wire from a sub box in the basement. Box in the garage was full. Easy to hook up. Got it right the first time. No sparks, nothing. Ran it for an hour to break in the rings.

It's one stage. Should be all I need. Can't wait to sand blast my rusty fenders I bought off ebay. They came today.

You got lucky. It was easy. The hardest part was finding the right breaker. I got the compressor from Lowes They give 10% off to Vets. That's all the twisting I needed.

I'll have to remember to drain it. Funny about the tank being 1/2 full of water. I was wondering how long the air filters lasted? Guess it all depends.

[bubba327]

I do drain the tank every month or so and have changed the oil in the last year!! I think the valves and rings are probably about done as it takes forever to get to 125 psi anymore.

I had the builder put in a 220 box when we built the new house 2 years ago - one junction going through the garage wall with a waterproof box to the outside, just in case I want to use a portable welder out on the RV pad.

Obviously. haven't pulled the trigger on the big compressor yet - but when I do it'll be the one you got. Keep us posted on how it performs and maintenance.

Mac.

[daverod]

Fired up the new compressor. Sand blasted a couple rusty fenders I bought. It worked great. 100lbs sand and 30 min later clean fenders.

[tommys66]

awesome score on the compressor! its amazing what all you can get done with a good compressor.

[daverod]

This much I know. Needs alittle more blasting. Dropped a bill at HF. Could'nt pull the trigger on an 1/2 impact. Did'nt know if I wanted 420 lbs or 600lbs. Well I know what I wanted, I just did'nt know if I needed the extra power or not.

[daverod]

Also Looks like this side needs a tip and brace.

[protrash64]

Ear plugs are highly recommended with that line sander!! Nice tools there, Dave....X-mas comes early up there in Idaho.

[Strodder]

The smaller impact should do OK. The 600lb would be good for diesel repair. I would put some doors on where the compressor is. They tend to be noisy. Make a vent on top of door for the heat to escape.
