An Air Compressor #3

 




As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.


I had zero intention of buying this air compressor, because I had no idea it was at JYG's, but things happen as he had a snowblower there, a Sears.

My original intent in plugging it in, as JYG lets me do  that and other things, as I'm a non paying customer. That is Two Chiefs in the background in the picture as he snuck in as Indian pick ups are sneaky that way.

The reason for this air compressor was to get the electric motor off of it, as I might be able to put it on the snow blower. It was leaking air.........but the thing is JYG got to fixing it up and now I don't want to take the motor off of it.


It is a big two valve pump, I could put it on a big tank and run an air wrench off of it, as maybe that is what the people were doing with this one as they put allot of effort into this little machine. You turn it on and it has like 80 pounds in it in a minute. Maybe I could use it to spray paint with.....will have to see.

I know it is going into the shop where I can then have air power to do things.


Which leaves me back where I started in seeing if I could run an electric motor of a snow blower, as then it would always start. I was thinking a 2 horse power like on the roto tiller. As for now, for 100 bucks, we got an  industrial aircompressor, a snowblower which will appear in another post and JYG made me take a leather couch, chair and foot stool along with the purchase.

Yes there was the fishing reel and pole too which looks like a Garcia in it is really a nice outfit.


This is the 3rd air compressor from JYG. Now we have 3 very nice units. I guess the snowblower is what cost the most as I think AC's run 25 from JYG.


Anyway, once it is washed off in the rain, it is going inside. I still might see if I can get some bigger wheels on this AC as these dinky ones suck and it wants to tip over.


Nuff Said
