I BOUGHT a $500 Air Compressor And Found a $5000 SUPRISE!

[@sesampley]

As a former IR tech and air compressor guy the hours CAN most certainly be that low. As odd as it sounds you would be surprised at how little use many of these portable machines get. A good way to "eyeball" the machine is to look in the fuel tank and see how much sediment and dirt is in the bottom, well used machines are usually pretty dirty.

[@drev5001]

Something to pay attention to in the future, for solenoids, specifically the fuel solenoid for this engine, you should not use all 3 wires continuously. A 3 wire solenoid will have 2 positive and 1 ground. One of the positives will be the pull circuit which use higher amperage to pull open. Once open, the other positive will be used to hold the solenoid open until power is taken away, then it closes. When you figure out the pull/hold wires, wire the hold/ground straight to battery, then touch the pull momentarily to the positive post. Keeping the pull circuit energized for extended periods of time will burn up the solenoid. Edit: just finished the video, lol you found out what happens.

[@BradenBuildz]

That’s what happened I’m sure. The red wire was probably the wire that carried the hold power and green wire was the jump power

[@drev5001]

Common fail point with 2nd Gen Ram/Cummins and the 4B Cummins in Case equipment

[@welderfixer]

100 percent correct. You posted before I could. The Pull coil has a very low ohm measurement and the Hold coil may be 30ish ohms. I can't remember the exact resistance value. They're all a bit different

[@FOHGeek]

One easy way to use these 3-wire solenoids is to connect "pull" wire to the starter's trigger terminal and "hold" wire to the switched positive line. When the ignition key is hit, the short-term electrical signal activating the starter will also cause the solenoid to activate at the same time. After starting, the pull coil will be de-energized so that it won't be on fire and flames. Once the key's turned all way off, power going to the hold coil will be cut, causing the solenoid to release and shut off the fuel. Also, normally-closed contact of safety sensors (e.g. oil level sensors, thermal protectors, overpressure cutoff switches, E-stop buttons) can be wired in series of the "hold" coil to form an automatic protection mechanism.

[@GRANITEMONUMENT]

The solenoid has pull in voltage, and a much lower “hold in voltage”, very good job, keep up the hard work, keep learning and you can do whatever you put your mind to!

[@robertdinicola9225]

Same voltage, higher current. Pull in can be around 50 amps, latching around 10 or 15 amps.

[@ulisolutions]

Nice Video! Fyi, during normal operation, the Fuel solenoid's "Pull" wire is only supposed to be powered for a max of 11 seconds (while cranking) while the "Hold" wire stays powered.

[@davidbeattie4294]

You took a calculated risk and it seems to have paid off perfectly. I am really curious to find out where the engine finally ends up. Thanks for the video.

[@musicynic]

"I can definitely reuse this for something, I don't know what" and that's how I started hoarding too buddy

[@SHarris64]

Those solenoids have a “pull” coil and a “hold” coil. The “pull” coil is disconnected after the solenoid picks up or it will burn out. Seen this happen many times working on generator engines. 🙂

[@lawrencelipon8673]

👍👍👍👍👍👌Great job on the purchase and the start up…….love the way your skid steer from your first Perkins to Isuzu conversion is working out for you!!!

[@jacquesvanniekerk2896]

When you connected the pull wire and hold wire of the coil i knew its going to burn. 5 minutes later the smoke comes out. HOLD with high ohm value gets permanent power and pull in with low ohm gets power from starter coil. Unhook the belt if your running it dry. Your burning the water pump seal. .

I just didn't understand why you didn't convert the trailer as a "parts" trailer.. carry you tool when going to a junkyard or something

He’s got a trailer for that.

[@TinedTexas]

The reason why was literally sitting next to it

[@Frank-Thoresen]

The trailer was boxed in and would be great to keep tools and equipment for field work. When he doesn't see the value it's up to him 🤷‍♀️

[@BradenBuildz]

@@d.barron5450 too much trouble. Better off sticking a service bed on a trailer or buying one then going through the trouble to put this back together, put shelves and drawers in it. Also these are terrible to back up. Sounds good on paper. Not so good in reality.

[@audas]

Wow - this is a fantastic channel. You seem young - but your knowledge is next level. I enjoy your direct approach, fearless and explorational. I very much enjoyed the explanation you gave of the fuel pathway - I want to know and understand engines and mechanics - so this is great. Approaching things with confidence like this, and not a fear of making mistakes is what encourages others to get their hands dirty - even though you did not want to. Only tip. It took me 30+ years to learn the value of gloves, its easier, faster, and more feeling without them - but get into the habit early. Nothing wrong with a pair of sunnies either if your not going to wear eye protection. Got plenty of one eyed mates - great job.

You should make sure you stuff something in the air intake and radiator hose so mud dobbers don't make a nest while you store it in your shed.

[@dkdj5]

Why didn't you just start it while all connected? It was mounted, you had fuel and coolant. Just needed a battery and jump the starter. Could have run it as long as you wanted for testing. Some of those have 3 wires. Ground. Pull in. Hold. It uses more power to pull it in, but needs less once pulled in so it switches to other coil.

[@ruskiryan2398]

This is how Hoarders become Hoarders!, they park projects down in the yard and then go looking for more, You should use the trailer as a tool trailer, simply put a wooden floor in the bottom and some locks and you can keep fluids and tools in there and take it on jobs with you!

[@Theoriginalbubbafett]

Nice! Look forward to seeing the whole video later!!

[@Theoriginalbubbafett]

[@Austin_Hart]

It would be cool to see someone make a camper out of that old trailer. It could still be a useful trailer.

[@skunkzilla5552]

Little too late now but I work on these for a living and you don’t have to remove the fuel tank to pull the engine if you can squeeze up underneath it and pull the motor mounts and the fan shroud does indeed split in half for easy removal

[@shawnsmith9512]

Its the way of the world isn’t it? We can’t know everything, and we throw away value all the time. The only thing that can bring us peace of mind is the fact that if we don’t recycle what we can with the opportunity we have then the entire thing will be in a junkyard or landfill.

[@FluePeak]

You should converte the empty compressor trailer as a portable grill/smoker. Would be a fun project :)

[@guruoo]

That would work. Or take it full tilt boogie as a construction site chuck wagon.

[@Semparo]

Heck, that fuel tank and the axel for the trailer... Make yourself a mini tool trailer with fuel storage! Prolly enough frame left there to make alot of it out the old unit

[@ruudvanschijndel]

The solenoid is dual stage one wire pulls it in during cranking, and the other holds the coil in the engaged position, the pull in portion of the coil is not constant duty

[@marwerno]

11:00 Might be a good idea to fix a clamp at the end of the forks to avoid the chain from slipping down in future ;-)
