Moving an Air Compressor

hf compressors can be from anywhere. a small one i bought a number of years ago was made in italy, and getting a part for it was 4 months. since hf ordered the wrong part, that compressor is long gone to it's next owner. i craigslisted it for free just to make room.

Another tip that might help with moving tall items like this, is turning and accelerating is not much of a problem, the problem is sudden stops. I have tied items like this up to 2000 pounds in the bed of my short wide Chevy PU. Even light weight straps to the top front corners of the bed, will easily oppose normal starts and turns. Then I remove the tail gate and run a heavy duty strap from the top of the load, directly to the trailer hitch, to deal with sudden stops.

Hey, I had a similiar story. Some day I might run the piping also...

If you are residential with single phase service, than a 5hp single phase Quincy (or equivalant) would be your best choice.

I think your old Sears would run circles around any of the new "5hp" models sold in most places.

Try to go with a more industrial model. All the comments of those on the group who did so seem very happy with theirs, me included.

Purchase as large a tank as you can hide away somewhere, and plumb it parallel with the existing tank.

You can often find 200 gallon tanks for $50.

"Somewhere a True Believer is training to kill you. He is training with minimum food or water,in austere conditions, day and night. The only thing clean on him is his weapon. He doesn't worry about what workout to do--- his rucksack weighs what it weighs, and he runs until the enemy stops chasing him. The True Believer doesn't care 'how hard it is'; he knows he either wins or he dies. He doesn't go home at 1700; he is home. He knows only the 'Cause.' Now, who wants to quit?"
