Yes my friend Dave you are really relly really the best : )

Stop over I have the perfect $60 compressor for you. It worked great when it was new. Make sure all that money is in a nice bag.

Steve I have 3, 80gal, 5HP, cast iron two stage compressors for sale $300 each. Yes at that price they need some loving care.

Visit Cleveland and bring a trailer.

When my splash oil Craftsman gave up I went to a two stage 175 psi industrial unit and I've been happy ever since; It's nice for it to not have to constantly run or cycle. I liken it to never hearing of anyone who complains  they built their workshop too big!

Troll Craigslist and you can usually find a used industrial/shop compressor for pennies on the dollar and the older stuff is invariably better built anyway.

Was media blasting some parts this weekend, not terribly hot...perhaps high 70's low 80's and gradually, my compressor  (5HP upright 60 Gal Craftsman single stage 220V) started making a little more noise than normal.....belt squeak.....had installed a new belt a little while back...figured that was loosening up a tad...... Stopped, checked it.....seemed reasonable......continued on until finally the thing started making a lot more noise....shut it down.....and that was the last that the compressor
turned.  Locked it up pretty good!
Luckily I had a spare compressor from a neighbor, who failed to drain his
tank on a regular basis, and it rusted thru on the bottom!    About the same
age.....similar use...but I used mine more for sandblasting etc.......his was for running a staple gun/glue gun....not tough heavy continued duty
cycle!    Sandblasting is probably worse on a compressor than painting!
This swap got me thru the job I was doing....but not without this new used
pump starting to complain also!!!!  (I think I am on borrowed time.....!)

This compressor pump is the typical aluminum body "splash oil" version found in Craftsman, Campbell, and probably a pile of others......for years.

Has anyone found a suitable replacement for these units that bolt in with a
minimal amount of fussing around with fittings and pulleys/belts?    From
what I can see, pumps for this old of a unit (15-20 yrs???) are hard to find
and any "similars" are running around $450-500.    The Harbor Freight and
Amazon pumps aren't getting any rave reviews for durability either....!!!
Rebuilding service?    Parts tend to be expensive....if even available.

I would love to step up to an oil fed two stage pro model......but I think I fit a cheaper compressor better.....just need to back off on the blasting
activity....and perhaps change the oil more often????........!  Filling and
rotating tires,  and blowing dust off of the Goose is about as exciting as
things get on a typical weekend!!  Not so much painting as in the
past....but would like to be able to do it if need be!

Cheers!
Steve
