We have life on 240V. Unfortunately the pressure switch is leaking from the bottom when it gets up to about 40 - 50PSI. When I get some time over...
Talked to my uncle last night who worked with my dad as a control's electrician. My dad fabricated and built the machines, and my uncle wired it...
That's my excuse on why I used 10w/30. :rofl: :lol: It would definitely make it more portable leaving it at 120V vs switching it to 240V. A 4"...
The tag is pretty faint, and next to the plate that I posted a picture of. From what I can see on the plate, #5 and #8 stay the same whether it's...
54" belt fit perfectly. Have a dedicated 20AMP / 120V outlet in my basement for a sump pump I never put in (have a French drain). Motor starts,...
Glad to hear that. I run it in my big compressor, it’s what Speedaire recommends for their compressors. Not to railroad my own thread, does Mobil...
Thanks for calling that out. I didn't realize you couldn't run auto oil in an air compressor, and I also didn't realize non-synthetic air...
Stick with ND SAE30 not 10w-30?
54" long according to the site above with the motor fully pulled towards the pump. Bought 54.5" and 55" belts online at the local Carquest. Going...
My 120 gallon tank has a 2" pipe plug for inspections. I forgot to look at the compressor, I think it does too. Drain both tanks pretty frequently...
Knowing my dad it's probably 1/4 or 3/16 of on an inch thick. Most everything on it is 1/4 thick steel. When I see him this week, I'll ask. I...
That was it. If you are ever near central Ohio, get ahold of me and I'll buy you a barley pop, pop (Coke for our friends in the south), water, or...
When I was a kid my dad built the air compressor that's in the pictures below. He rolled the tank, fabricated "the deck" for the pump and motor,...
Appreciate the good thoughts. Should have been a little more clear, the 372XP went in for heart surgery. More info - Farmertec 372XP Build
Slowly but surely making progress getting the locust cut up. A few weeks ago I cut, and noodled the really big rounds with the 372XP. It went in...
Rings showed up today, and they are the wrong size. I'm pretty sure they are for a 52MM piston vs a 50MM piston as they overlap by about 3/16 -...
With age comes wisdom, and expensive lessons learned along the way. :D Reminds me of my friend's son. He has S-10 that he dropped a V8 into after...
That's exactly why I did it. Plus all of my current saws run fine. No fun in trying to fix something that runs.
Currently using a one-man brake bleeder vacuum that I had. Is there vac / pressure tool that you recommend?
Don't want to railroad my own thread but I think you are missing the whole point of building the saw. Built this saw to learn how to work on this...
