Default what i have

I priced compressors
then found a local company who built mine new

4 CYLINDER PUMP,,,, its looks likea have a motorcycle engine on top..lol
7.5 SINGLE PHASE BALDOR MOTOR, pulley sized to slow it down
80 GALLON UPRIGHT TANK
hour meter.. unloader switch.. MAKE SURE YOU GET AN UNLOADER SWITCH. it saves the electric motor.
pumps in the high 30S CFM and will push my sandy jet pressure pot blaster no problem. Guy told me would never need to upgrade and its true.
25OO DOLLARS IS ALL I SPENT. So look and see if you have a local compressor company thats been in business for a long time and you will probably spend less than any advertised at the hardware/tool companies.. this same thing usually runs 3500 plus from major "brand" tool retailers
