Rusty Old Air Compressor Restoration - Vintage Air Compressor - Perfection Restoration

[@stevedittrich4411]

When putting roller or ball bearings on a shaft, try putting the bearings in a plastic bag and in a freezer for a few hours. When you take them out of the freezer, the inner bearing race will contract enough to just slide them onto the shaft without having to hammer them in. Great video!

[@BlackroseTanki]

This doesnt work buddy, cold makes the bearings shrink. You must either way heat the bearings or cool the shaft

[@supersevenn]

Gotta freeze the shaft and warm the bearing, not heat it up, but warm it as to not damage the seal. Cold contracts...hot expands

[@Tom.Barlow]

Beautiful restoration of the old compressor 🎉🎉🎉

[@Alldaboss]

Will be cool to see you do more restorations using this aircompressor you restored.

[@IronManRestoration]

Yes bro I will do

[@Clabb-p7x]

Good job! You restored it with what was on hand and repaired and cleaned up old quality parts instead of buying new.

[@IronManRestoration]

Yes, thanks

[@tonybreeze8516]

Very clear & educational video which has taught me a lot. When you see other videos on the net showing tanks that have exploded with rust on the inside, I think you are very wise not to push it to its maximum pressure.

Pratik Rathid he didn’t do a hydrostatic test on the tank. I can’t even imagine how much rust is in it.

[@calevel]

@@pratikrathid3261 never hit the bearing on the outer race when installing on a shaft, always the inner race for shaft or outer race for case and preferably pressing better than whacking.

I like everything about this except for two things. You painted sealing surfaces on the pump and you doused your plants in deisel. Other than that, a tremendous improvement.

I have watched a couple of your restoration videos now and I am impressed with the level of detail you go into. However, I wanted to see what you did to check the integrity of the steel air cylinder which as you know, are prone to internal rusting over the years and have the potential to crack and explode. I did not see you doing any checks for rust nor cleaning/ internal treatment on the cylinder. Can you comment on this? Thanks

17:35, did anyone else notice how he put Teflon tape on those JIC/SAE/AN fittings? They don't seat on the threads, they seat on the cone.

[@sivalley]

I'm an hvac tech, seeing teflon tape on those flare connections hurt, and so did the unloader that doesn't re-seat, and the bearings being hammered in by their puter race, and crankcase to cylinder gaskets on top of paint. . . . Sooooo many things done incorrectly.

[@scroungasworkshop4663]

Great restoration and it was bad luck to get one that needed so much work. I think it is fine to reuse safety parts if they are cleaned and tested. My worry is that it looks like there is no earth wire. I do have a couple of questions please. What was the total cost including the original $166 and how much would a compressor like that cost new where you are? Where did you find a replacement con rod? It looks like you are experienced in engine rebuilding as not many people have their own piston ring expanders. Were you able to get the machining done for free? as I’m assuming you may own or work at an engine reconditioning shop. Lastly, are you in Pakistan as I thought I heard calls to prayer in the background. Thanks Stuart 🇦🇺

[@pitbullgarage]

Muy buen restauracion este video es muy bueno para los pintores automotrices saludos!

[@radjvalieff]

Remember 1. Do not paint surfaces under sealings 2. Do not install bearings like in this video

[@Omegadoomship]

1. You can under if you have a proper ventilated enclosed setup with fans and filters. This would be better than outdoors because it would be free of dust and wind. But unless you have a paint booth setup, it ought to be done outdoors on a good day. 2. Hammering on the outer ring on a bearing is a good way to damage it. I find the best way to install a bearing is to use a deep socket or metal pipe that fits perfectly over the shaft and sits on the inner ring. Then you can either hammer it or use a press. 3. I wouldn’t be too hard on the guy. He did a lot of things correctly for the most part, and sure there were a few head scratching moments. As an engineer and mechanic, sometimes you’ve got to use what you’ve got to complete a project to the best of your abilities.

[@TheLichtspieler]

3. don´t paint the heat exchanging parts :) 4. don´t place the piston rings openings facing to the same side 5. Check the tank from inside because of rust 6. If it works, don´t give a shit ... well done

[@WhiteWingsGarage]

​@@Omegadoomship Both of you are forgot the 120 degree angle between piston rings gaps and disaligning piston rings gaps with geometrical axles of piston pin. And, IMHO, compressor oil is not optimal solution for the compressors with oil sump. My 2 piston 400l/min compressor is running with 5w40 API SN motor oil, such as i use in my car.

Well it looks like it’s a big capacity 4hp industrial air compressor they go new for like 300 to almost 700 or more and that’s euro’s

[@rallyscoot]

Depends on in which country you live. Could imagine that in India you dont have to complain about such a price because of what is available there. Maybe its the cheapest 4HP compressor he could find (better then nothing)

[@fubar5884]

Most certainly, but I guess that price could vary widely depending on region. You could pick up a small compressor like that around here new for 250-300 USD. If you searched craigslist or Facebook, you could find one for next to nothing or trade. Hell I've seen folk give them away if a part breaks or they bought a new one, either give it to someone who asks or put it by the road with a 'Free" sign on it. 2$/kg is almost like buying scrap, but the heaviest thing on that is the motor and compressor, take those off and that tank would probably weigh 20 pounds or less.

[@ApprenticeGM]

Saying there's no drain plug so no water gets in is stupid. Especially if you claim to be an expert. The drain plug is there to let water out, not in. Water condenses inside the pressurised tank whether you have a drain plug or not - having a drain plug means you can drain the water out regularly and significantly reduce rusting and extend the life of the tank. You should put one in, and use it, and whilst there, poke a camera in and check the condition of the tank. Also I would advise putting up some protection against overspray on the wall and plants etc when spray painting, but that's not a serious safety concern like the tank and drain plug.
