Repairing A Broken Air Compressor

22 Mar

While cutting the torque converter in half for the Torque Converter Dissection video I killed my air compressor. In the defense of Campbell Hausfeld this 26 gallon compressor was never designed to run continuously for 2 hours and that’s exactly what I did to it. Now I know it’s limits. At some point I hope to get a larger 60 gallon which I think will work much better for me. Thing is a 60 gallon compressor uses 220v and in my shop that may be an issue. For now I’m happy to have my 26 gallon back. I don’t plan on cutting any more torque converters in half in the near future so I should be good. I’d like to thank my friends at Campbell Hausfeld for hooking me up with a new motor/compressor assembly, it made my life so much easier.
