Quincy Compressor Help

Just say yes and get them. If they turn out to be wrong for your application, test them a little and sell then and buy what you need from the proceeds.

They will deliver 4.7 to 10.7 CFM at 100 PSI. See :

As someone else recommended, get them and then you can upgrade. My Gardner Denver 2x2.5 gives me 2 CFM @ 90 PSI with a 1/2 HP motor turning at ~600 RPM. Nothing to stop you from running these in parallel with progressively lower start pressures. Gerry :-)} London, Canada

There's also what seems to be a fairly pristine 25 hp GE motor. Howz DAT for an idler?? Only problem is, I'd proly wind up trading my gonads for it, from a lifting POV--this thing is up about 5 stories, on rickety stairs. goodgawd....

Thanks, all, for the info. Looks like the wife is going to be pissed at me again!! The cfm easily equals what I have now, on my over-hyped HD Husky (a C-H, I bleeve). But, so far, the Husky has been fine, and is super-quiet (cast iron) compared even to pricier stuff

The Husky has the same head as a lot of SpeedAires, btw, which is why I bought it--saw a fellow's smallish single stage horz'l Speedy, which was actually quieter than his much larger two-stage Speedy, and then recognized the same head on the HD compressor! Then got it as a demo (which not all HDs will do).

I would not take the motor if it was unsafe to take it down -- I am not sure what the risk is, but when things go out of control with heavy stuff, the damage can be tremendous.

A 25 HP motor will likely weigh 300 lbs.

Mine will be soon pissed at me again as well.

You can always simply sell the Quincy heads. Especially if you test them!

Yeah, hauling that 25 hp w/o rigging is out of the question. My 10 hp Baldor hadda be over 200#, and this is easily twice the physical size.

Fortunately, l'Wife is starting to get a kick out of big-assed motors. I fired up the 5 hp Dayton blower/hurricane generator, blew the leaves out of the driveway to the middle of the street--from *inside* the shop!!! I think I got a convert.... :)

Yeah, I'll pick up those Q's t>> There's also what seems to be a fairly pristine 25 hp GE motor. Howz DAT

Um, weren't you the guy with the 200 A service? If you fire up a 25 Hp motor, the lights in your entire neighborhood are going to go out! At least, everybody on your transformer.
