OLD 2 Stage Air Compressor ~ Pump Rebuild/Custom Paint ~ RESTORATION Part 3 ~ Is that a Tiger Shark?

[@SalvageWorkshop]

Question of the Video: Do you like customizing things? If so, what have you customized?

[@TommySleeze]

Salvage Workshop I’ve got an old 1970s German moped that I like to tinker around with. I’m too big for it to be fun to ride, but I’ve done it up for my nephew to match those colors of his favorite (American) Football team.

[@o0hbomb0o]

Maybe it's early in the morning for me, but the title in the thumbnail confused me. Should it be "Fuel Pump Rebuild" or "Complete Pump Rebuild"?

[@SalvageWorkshop]

@@o0hbomb0o Complete sounds better... good call! Just changed it!

[@SalvageWorkshop]

@@TommySleeze Nothing wrong with that!!! I'm sure he loves it!

[@185LANDY]

I'm customising/modifying a series land rover at the minute changed engine and gearbox

[@ronaldhamblin4615]

That paint job is mad thanks for shearing this with us may your compressor serve a long life for you kind regards ron😊

[@Z06PSI]

I just picked up this compressor. A 1997 version that runs fine for $400. Thanks for the rebuild video.

[@tombarlow6176]

Fantastic beautiful restoration of the old compressor 🎉🎉🎉

You are a MASTER of Restoration!

.....Excellent videos......no excessive talking which helps in keeping track of what the viewer tuned in for........Five Star Channel......🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟........

[@SalvageWorkshop]

Much appreciated! I talk in some of my videos, and will talk in future videos, but I like to let the work speak for itself!

[@clintwilde1048]

Stumbled across this while researching how to rebuild my ancient ammonia compressor I use for an air compressor. Enjoyed your video, appreciate the time lapse. You don't need thread sealant on a union, and you always, if the handle position allows it, put the fixed jaw of a Crescent wrench against the back of a nut, and the movable on the front so the torque is applied by the fixed jaw.

[@JonMichaelDeShazer]

Worth all 32 minutes to watch! Well done!

[@SalvageWorkshop]

I am glad you enjoyed it, I had a MASSIVE amount of footage to cut down from, and I was worried it might be too long! I appreciate the feedback! Thanks for watching and commenting! I truly appreciate the support!

[@michaeldurling793]

Beautifully executed restoration of a fine piece of American made equipment. Well done young man it will serve you an entire lifetime.

[@steveaw5895]

Hoodie, I just found your channel. What I’ve seen so far I like. I used to work for a compressed air contractor that sold and serviced Sailor Beall compressors. I must say yours came out just as good if not better than the new ones were selling in the late nineties. In my opinion they are the best small reciprocating compressors! You got a winner there. And a pat on the back to your wife for finding them.

[@ScottHiland]

I love that you're basically doing mise en place for your pre-assembly setup.

[@SalvageWorkshop]

It makes it MUCH easier during the reassembly process, and for other people to better understand how everything goes together! Thanks for watching & commenting! Lots more to come!

[@Yackhammer75]

I love to customize things. Some of my favorite customization is inspired by Chip Foose. He said' not a quote, some of the best customization is the small little things that you don't notice, if you didn't know better where how it was always supposed to be. Tuck that bumper in a couple of inches, change the fit of an emblem or light just a tiny bit, you'll never realize it's all that was done but it looks better and like it was always that way. Of course I like the wildly radical stuff too when done right. Your tiger shark for example is amazing.

[@terrystover7365]

Your ability is very impressive. You do a really great job. I have an old Moto Mower power mower I'm going to refurbish as a winter project. The mower was manufactured in the town I'm from many years ago and my dad worked there for a few years back in the 50's. It was one of 7 lawn mower manufacturers in the town back then. They're all gone now and the mower I have is rare. Thanks for what you do and sharing it.

[@MrRlitcher]

Great series, so meticulous. I love both the creative and the cleanup equally. Impresssive

[@SalvageWorkshop]

I truly enjoy the process! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@Don.E.63]

Very impressed at the detail, what a crown jewel of a compressor! Love it!

[@donanything6816]

Nice job. I loved the detail, the paint job and the artistry. Then there was the Roman prentice who said, "you want me to stand where?" Thanks for the videos, great series. I was looking for parts for my Kellogg America single stage, I think it dates to the 60's, just bought a HF two stage, it should be fine.

[@TheDaf95xf]

Absolutely fantastic 👍🏻

[@eribou13]

Your organization is meticulous, but I am sure the more complex the project, the more organized you have to be! I love the shark decal!

[@marekhabel2493]

Your work is not just the skill, it’s also an art!

[@williamfindspeople4341]

Disassemble is one thing, almost anyone can do that. But reassembling that is the trick. And it takes skill. Very impressive. I have one that I want to tackle it's been sitting in my workshop for about 15 years and it doesn't run. I don't know if I the fortitude to put it together again. Since you live in a cold climate I would suggest putting a moisture filter on your line so you don't get water into your Air Lines and into anything it ruins your air tools and your spray gun for painting. Now that you have an air compressor you can get yourself a sandblaster and you won't have to do all that grinding and wire wheel and sanding stuff to take your paint and rust off of your Restorations.

[@yamahabansheeissick]

Just did my sailor Beale 705 last year I love it runs super good mines a smaller tank and vertical. I love your paint job came out super cool.

[@SalvageWorkshop]

Thank you! They are built like tanks!! Great compressor pumps! You probably have an 80 gallon tank which is a great size for almost all garages and shops!

[@SPUDHOME]

This is like a old bogart movie, order a rebuild kit, YOU DON’T NEED ALL THE STINKING GASKETS. great job overcoming obstacles and getting the rebuild finished right.

[@GregAlanEdwardsEmmanuelRidge]

That paint job was over the top!! Love the customizing! I probably don't go as meticulous as you did on this project but I love the old school work. A lot of people would have just bought vinyl.

[@SalvageWorkshop]

I thought about the vinyl route, but figured people might like to see what it would take to paint something like that!

[@mandoramirez1205]

Very nice work , you should be proud of yourself, there not to many people that do work this way anymore, great video ,thanks for sharing.

Very well done sir!

[@SalvageWorkshop]

Thank you my friend!

[@larrypierce2777]

As far as putting the compressor up high, unless you have fire suppression system right above it I wouldn't recommend it. The shop I worked at, the motor caught on fire, I mean billows of smoke. The fire department was only three minutes away thank goodness. Keeping a fire extinguisher, Large wouldn't be a bad idea at all. Anything electrical, the appropriate fire extinguisher is a must in a shop environment. Just a tip. Beautiful paint job. I guess a clear coat isn't required to protect the paint. It worked great. You have a photographic memory for putting things bac together. Can't leave any parts off when rebuilding. It could be disastrous. A very, very educational video. Very detailed and proper.

[@davidlegault9745]

Nicely done, good for another fifty years. Regards, Dave (Canada)

[@SalvageWorkshop]

Thanks Dave!! I sure hope it does!

[@danhuff7133]

Wonderful jobs

[@buddyholmes6317]

Really great work. Your shop must be much larger than it seems. I can't wait for the next video when you bring in the airlines. 😉

[@benjroof]

This man is a pro.Thanks for the video.

[@MrHowieZ1973]

Looks amazing. Almost new. The only thing I would change is the outlet tube. You don't want moisture running back into the head of the pump. Always drop it down and out from the head. Never up and over.

[@SalvageWorkshop]

Go for it!! it's pretty awesome once it's finished!

[@HenRefurb]

@@SalvageWorkshop now you've got it up high are you going to put a wing on it and a prop on the end?

[@SalvageWorkshop]

@@HenRefurb Now, THAT'S an idea!! I had thought about adding foam fins like old school bombs had, but the prop idea along with that might actually happen!! Thanks for the inspiration!

[@kingbubbles4509]

The design isnt to my personal taste, but i think you did a great job and i enjoyed every minute. Thanks for the upload.

[@SalvageWorkshop]

Nothing wrong with that! Everyone has their own taste, and that's cool with me!! As always, thanks for watching & commenting!

[@nickmartinez7574]

It took longer to tape it off than it would have to just follow the design. With a brush!!

[@SalvageWorkshop]

@@nickmartinez7574 I started that way, but I dont have a steady enough hand to freehand such a detailed image! It would have looked terrible!

[@tecnopufi]

Your shop is well equipped. It's all your gathering? It's hard to believe because of your young age. The shop is awesome btw.

[@SalvageWorkshop]

Thank you!! Its an evolving work in progress! Yes I acquired all the tools and equipment myself over the years!! Thanks for watching!

[@Jdogjim27]

First of all, Great build. Second, I love the paint job. I think that most of the stuff I have rebuilt or restored has been customized in some way or another, but my favorite would have to be my Opinel 9 pocket knife. I customized the scales to fit my hand and added cross hatch.

[@lordvengerx]

Opening a box with saw. Somewhere wranglerstar is screaming in rage. Lols great video really enjoying all your stuff. I'm bingeing your videos lol. You're safe with opening your boxes with a saw. Nobody listens to Wranglermart lol. I like the fresh take it is something different :D 😎👍🔥

[@andreperait]

I dont care where you put that thing buddy but i've been mesmerised by your skill with that machine. Kudos friend...I can open up a machine but you can bet there'll be lots of bits and pieces of screws nuts and what nots extras left behind I do not even know where they came from...

[@SalvageWorkshop]

I appreciate the tall compliment my friend! I have a bunch of old bread trays, and as I take a certain part of the project apart, all parts from that area go into their own tray so I know what parts go where. Also when you watch my videos, you'll usually see a shot of all the parts disassembled and laid out, and that also helps me in case I forget later! All in all though, I am pretty good about disassembling and then reassembling things! Thanks for watching and commenting! I truly appreciate the support! Lot's more to come!

[@DanaKotze]

Do you realize how many skills one require to do oll this. Great project.

[@tootall5559]

Old sign painters trick, pad the end of a sturdy stick, then use it to help steady your hand when doing hand painting. I rarely customize anything, I generally do restorations, but once in a while I'll do something custom on a diecast or the like. I only do small stuff in my kitchen these days. I used to customize real cars.

[@markschwegler1100]

Yes I love customizing... anything and everything I can! It usually makes whatever it is better than original or at least better looking!!! You definitely have patients...that was alot of tiny pieces of green tape to fill in that mouth!!!

[@SalvageWorkshop]

I TOTALLY agree! Plus it makes it different from all others and I enjoy that!! YES LOTS OF TINY PIECES OF TAPE!

Just inherited my deceased 91 year old fathers 1959 Kellogg American 331 two stage pump sitting on a 1959 John Wood 200 psi horizontal tank. Been sitting for a long time probably decades. It's a beast! I changed the pump oil and she fired right up. Not sure what parts are available for the pump besides a basic tune-up kit, but I have the skills to handle the job. I would like to know if rod bearings and other internal parts are still available... and would sure like to clean out the sludge in the bottom too. She seems to run good as is, just need to bump up the pressure switch to get 100psi and 135psi-cut off, or maybe 110-140 if that isn't asking too much from the old girl. Right now she is at 90-125 I'm thinking that's a little on the low side. Great video, did you deglaze/hone the cylinders for the new rings and did you install new rod bearings?

[@timshort3220]

Outstanding!

[@SalvageWorkshop]

You hit it on the head when you made the comment!! I think it turned out alright!!

[@Compasscard]

Have a similar compressor head, just a bit more modern since the bottom is aluminum but the head is cast iron. Also two stage, approx the same size as yours and also requiring two belts on the flywheel. Now I have an idea of the power it requires and also the size of tank it can handle.

I have a 1964 De vilbiss 60 gallon tank upright has a Leland replusion start motor that is huge I mean this thing has to be 100 lbs only runs at 750 rpm and only 1.5 horsepower. Picked it up back in 1995 for $250 lapped in the reed valves timed the brush holder and changed the oil and replaced the pressure contactor. Running to this day and its quiet todays compressors are loud as hell like a weed trimmer no wonder at 3600 rpm for CFM . Mine a little slow gets the job done and the neighbours dont complain.

[@larryshaw796]

I can't believe you got all those parts and still had to make a gasket. It looked like a fun build , I hope it was worth the expense , probably more hours than you wanted to spend on it.

[@SalvageWorkshop]

It was DEFINITELY worth it! (any YES a lot of work!) Apparently this pump might actually be from the 60's and the unloader housing is no longer used, so the gasket that came in the kit was just slightly too big, but would have worked... I wanted it to look flush like all other gaskets, so I made that one!

[@charlietanner6211]

great job

[@hakunamatataadventurebus5944]

Sealant is not required on the coupling at the end of the flex hose, the cone surface is where it seals. A dot or two of high temp threadlocker for vibration might be good...
