My 2 Year Old $2500 Compressor Just Died

mcodecuda said

I was lucky when I got my compressor. It was manufactured locally by Ingersol Rand and was used for a quality audit where it was run for a few hours. A friend’s father was a head engineer there and I got it for $500. Two stage 5hp 60 gallon 220 volt single phase.

That`s what my old compressor is. This thing went through an abusive life., service station rig. Hard telling how many motors it`s been through, but currently has a USA made Dayton. I traded a buddy for a relatively new craftsman 5hp gas portable, which he said didn`t last very long. It has given me a few issues but I learned to rectify them my self, just cleaning a valve out every few years. Early 70`s model that I`ve had now for about 29 years. I`ll nurse it till a rod blows, I can`t find zero parts for it.
