BeBop138 Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 We need a better compressor at my shop for working on the Kids car. He has a 80 gal. 5HP dual stage----could you lay it down to transport it---of course the engine would be supported well in transit---would be about an 1 1/2 hours to move it............Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthy Adams Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 drain the oil from the compressor and if gasoline driven motor..drain its fuel and oil in crankcase..then move...set it up-right when you get where you want it..allow what little oil in there to return to the sumps..refill to level and let the big dog eat..

BeBop138 Posted January 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 We got it home---went with a truck with a power tailgate---so much easier on the body--it`s a 60 gallon tank , not 80. The big dog is ready for work.....thanks Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthy Adams Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 oh yeah...you gonna like that....I went out a while back..bought me a new Campbell Hausfeld like my unit that was about 25 years old..I think my old unit was a better pump at 26 than the one I bought..I am going to look at the RPM and drive pulleys..just odd..same pump and such..but I know the drive pulleys set up is a bit different..

oldmopar Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Good compressor I have the same one with the 80 gal. I have had it about 6 years no real problems, I did have to replace a cut off switch a few years back. I do find it a pia to drain the water. I have been planning to bring the drain out closer to the edge but never seem to get to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
