I have the same one,, it is noisey, but works well.
Branded "eagle",, probably 10yrs old.
Not sure of its history,, had to replace the belt.

Maybe out back under the shed then. Just gotta keep the dirt daubers out of it

Nice

I learned something a few months ago. Never bolt a compressor to the floor. Set tge feet on some thick rubber.

One of my compressors in the plant’s welds cracked where the pump base mount was welded to the tank. The tank was starting to split.
I mentioned this to my salesman and he sees that all the time on compressors that are anchored down. He said the holes in the feet are not for anchoring, they are for fastening to a pallet for shipping.

Thanks

I didn’t realize people took them off the shipping pallet.

Exactly

There's a 25 horse rotary in our shop been there since 2002 and its still on the pallet

I just bought a new compressor this fall. I really wanted a rotary but once they saw the price i got shot down.

no shit? well hell, i had planned to bolt mine when i get the lean too on. was gonna have four blocks set in the floor and filled with a bolt in each. well that ideas fukered.
my tank is from the 50s, came out of a service station. compressor motor and plumbing is all late model. that old tank weighs more than a hundred pounds by itself. prolly 80gal or so. its thick.

No comparison. They're made to run 24/7/365. There's close to 40,000 hrs on that one and never been touched. Try that with a piston compressor.

I just bought another one roughly the same size this spring for the asphalt plant. 102 cfm.

We had some big compressors at the boat plant as everything was ran by air. We had a 300hp, 200, 100 and a 60hp iirc.

My salesman said that we are right at the edge where a rotary screw would be beneficial for us. So we opted for another piston because of the cost.

I wanted a rotary just to keep the noise down in my shop and I’m sick of rebuilding the thing every 18 months.
At least I moved the new one in the plant so I don’t need to hear it anymore.

If you're rebuilding every 18 months, you're in rotary territory right now

The newest one I just bought is so quiet sometimes you wonder if it's running

You still can if you rubber mount it

That’s how SS mounts DSS, so he don’t get preggers.
