My Compressor..

[Truro Offroad]

Well today I decided to take the compressor apart and get it down from its perch.

After a few hours we got it down with no problems, nothing broken and now just need to get my new motor, and a new pressure gauge.

Not sure if I need a new pressure switch or not? original was on 230v 3 ph.. anyone know if I have to get one for 230v single phase?

here is what it looks like now:





Gotta clean it up now too.

What it will look like when i get it home and back together

very nice, not sure about the pressure switch - I'll see at work tomorrow if I can look it up

already found the pressure switch info, I need a furnas 69hb2 switch.

I'd have to bring it out of the usa with freight - watch substitutes if you are using a 5hp motor; most cheapies aren't rated past 3hp

[Truro Offroad]

Yeah most square d ones i found only went to 3hp on 230v single...the furnas is the only one i found that does 5hp on 230v single

big one ! how many cfm?

[Truro Offroad]

looks to be 17cfm at 175psi.

The compressor was left in the building when we bought it, build used to be a machine shop and the compressor was only 2 or 3 years old when we bought the building. after 8 years, I am finally taking it home
