Standing in front of that old Simplicity 9020 last night saying to myself that if I had a larger compressor I could sand blast and paint it to look good as new, going back earlier this week was using the large drill press at the farm and the breaker kept popping.
Anyhow I changed the Stab Loc panel in my shop to Square D and had a box full of breakers that I took over to the farm this afternoon, Rob was quite pleased as he was looking for a 50 Amp breaker for the wood processor. Someday I'll have to post some pictures of how they cut firewood at the farm and post them to the forum.
My reward, a 35 CFM compressor, it's a two stage that will pump up to 175 psi. I'm going to use one on the small three cylinder diesel engines from my Toro collection to power it up, need to purchase an unloader valve and a throttle control to idle the engine back down once the air pressure has been met.
