Bought some new stuff for my shop..

[inline 6]

The IR compressors are made here in the states. I am not saying that the parts are not made somewhere else but the assembly plant for them is here. Also the pump on these is cast iron not aluminum. These are definitely at least a step above the box store compressors. They offer a pretty good warranty on them as well and will extend the warranty if you run their oil and filter on the unit. I did my homework when I bought mine and sure there is better but for the money its about as good as you are going to get if you want a brand new compressor.

Nice purchases!!
Had my 80 gal IR since 2002... Still works like the day I purchased it. Looks to have the same pump as yours and it has been used ALOT!!!!
working on another car right now and it gets run everyday almost.

My dad would go through them like water (not IR's) but many others. He finally bought a Sailor Beal (sp?) and it was badass!!! Step mom wouldnt let me have it when he passed last yr but I did get the welder and his box.

Thanks, Compressor works like a champ.! But I later on down the road I will be looking for a bigger compressor, More CFMs. So this one will be for sale when the time comes.

and bought these on ebay, Got them pretty cheap. Usually they run over $800 bones!
So we will see if I did get them for a good price when they come in. Last thing is
I need one to be bent or something, Then that one is worthless.

What are those things?

What are those things?

To measure the center "line" of vehicles when the frame / body gets bent from an accident. Use it when a vehicle is on the frame machine.

I have a 60g IR I bought used about 4 yrs ago here at the house still running strong and 80g 2 stage Kobalt I picked up off CL about 2 yrs ago and that things running great so far and it runs atleast 5 times a week for 3-4 hrs each day.

[sosoe]

Well all the gauges came in now, so far they look straight. So if anyone has a bent frame and or hit the wall racing and need it fixed shoot me a pm!

[sosoe]

Fuck yes,

i have the same compressor, i bought at TSC and had them price match northern that didnt have it, the poor old woman at the counter was like "what was the price to match it to?"
i say $650 and she says "ok sunny" and BAM got it for 650 plus tax,
that was 3 years ago still works awesome, my only complaint is there is no adjustment to my knowledge to make it come on at a ceratin PSi mine waits until like 40psi to come back on

if you have the same IR compressor as above then inside that black box SHOULD be a spring with a bolt through it. that is the minimum pressure valve. play with the tension on the spring until the pressure comes on when you want it to.
