My Dad Got SCAMMED Buying This GIANT Air Compressor

[@alanprather8399]

your dad should have his own channel. you can see that he is type of man that forgets more than most people know.

[@DaddyShamurai]

^ This! It would be like a mix between mr rodgers and this old workshop. Legendary.

[@andyg8888]

Terrible idea…I’d spend all day watching these 2 😂

[@bearing_aficionado]

This was brought up on his live stream the other day. He said no way his Dad would have his own channel. He said his Dad is way too busy and wouldn't have the time to make one and edit it.

[@ka24det]

If I were going to be dropped off on a deserted island and could bring one thing, it would be JD's dad.

[@Vermontractor]

He does

[@htownblue11]

JR, I’m sure you know but you are incredibly lucky to have such a great dad man. He knows more than most will ever know, obviously taught you a lot of it, and is willing to “work” with you and be on camera just to share time with ya. Your pops is one cool dude man. I could wrench with him on anything any day and be happy doing it with a fella like him.

[@ulrikbaltzer8020]

70 % of the stuff your dad says goes well over my head but I could still listen to him for hours and his fire motivates me to try. Cherish every single moment with him, what an inspiration.

[@johna1160]

Same here, only for me it's more like 90%.

[@Plexxarn]

The toothpick, bluetooth earpiece the glasses and the amount of stuff in his chest pockets...you know your in for an education 😀

[@n9wox]

Don't forget the safety side shields.

[@robertseguin4875]

also a Cross or Parker pen, education all the way what a teacher.

[@bryangilmer671]

Quizzing JR the whole way

[@funone8716]

All signs of a man that don't take no shite from no body

[@JB-mk4ry]

Your dad is a rare old soul and a walking encyclopedia of knowledge. Treat him well... My dad was similar about anything fiberglass or outboards and lost him this past year.

[@PSTLNC2]

John, your dad has an immense amount of knowledge of all things mechanical. I mean, a guy who can look at a bearing and rattle off a part number and be right on is amazing.This is the person you definitely want on your bug out survival team when an apocalypse hits. Because his knowledge of all things mechanical, electrical or gas or any other device is irreplaceable.

[@robertfinnerty7201]

Videos with your father are the best. My Dad was a mechanical/electrical engineer, and he drew me diagrams like your dad does and explained things the same way. He fixed more things that others would have thrown away. Anyone who works for your father's company will never have a problem finding work after working with/for him.

[@douglasmiller1467]

I love it when Ross comes on and puts on Master Class.

[@frederickgiordiano2105]

I am an electrical engineer in the lighting industry. Unfiltered VFD's destroy LED drivers all the time. I did not realize that your dad had such a deep electrical knowledge. I know we are listening to a great electrical subject matter expert when he quotes Ohm's law by heart.

[@rocketscientist007]

Some of us are still alive.

[@jaywest4102]

“Watch your finger” Dads can’t stop being dads, even when we’re full grown.

[@Ingens_Scherz]

JR's dad seems to me to actually be a critical part of the USA's very foundations. I think the country would pretty quickly topple over without people just like him (and especially him!).

[@VanisleNSX]

I agree, I have been watching his content from when he originally did motovlog's many years ago. He's very knowledgeable on a ton of different area's. He covers's a lot of content from house repair, motorcycles, computers, muscle cars and he even loves the new EV technology. My favourite part is that he never comments or brings up religion and or politics. Smart guy!

[@TheKart49]

Just some helpful info, been selling towable compressors (Airman brand) for 20 plus years, the number one thing that will cause them to over heat is end-users turning up the factory set psi on the air regulator to get more psi, these are set form the factory and when turned up will cause the engine over rev & over heat. So when you get it up and running, double check the pressure , it should be about 90 to 95 psi . Also check the air end oil levels . That Sullair unit should run for 7 to 800 plus hours trouble free. Enjoying your content. Happy New Year to you all.

[@30Bird]

The breath of knowledge your dad has makes me miss my dad. I lost his wisdom to dementia 11 years ago then he passed last June at 84. Seems like there are fewer and fewer of the men who truly knew every detail about every machine they touched. I was totally lost though a lot of the video, that is what reminded me when ever he would correct you/ teach you it was just like I was back with my dad in his shop. I always jokingly introduced myself "Bob's idiot son" He always got a kick out of that and telling people I was much smarter than him because I was a Nurse, he was just a poor old ditch digger who was not even that good at the end of a shovel. He always knew what direction he was going he could always remember every person he ever met and he could "see level" I wish I still had him around. I know it does not to be said, and your dad appears to be in fantastic health, spend as much time with him as you can. Thanks for sharing it with us.

[@pinballmagician]

Treasure every minute you have with your Dad. My Dad passed away in 2022 and I wish everyday I could talk to him again, especially for fixing things just like this. He was a vault of info just like your dad.

[@chiguy_]

gotta love the dad knowledge. every time I get a chance to walk through machine shops or any place my dad worked I would always try to pry out as much info as possible. fun times. keep up the vids cheers.

[@davidgilpin5200]

JohnRoss, I really enjoy watching you and your dad work together! My dad passed away in 2019 and I miss him every day. I have fond memories of helping my dad work on cars, fetching him tools, etc. when I was a kid. Thanks for sharing this with us!

[@Sheepdog70]

I really enjoy it when you have your dad on your channel. He's forgotten more than I could ever learn. Thanks for sharing him and his knowledge.

[@mju7752]

Cherish quality time with your dad, seems such a decent knowledgeable guy. I lost mine 3 months ago and miss every day being a school day with him...

[@tabajaralabs]

Your father NEEDS his own channel, we all love to see him and learn a lot! Happy new year for you and your family!

[@cloudyview]

He's way too busy for a channel - that actually came up during the Livestream the other day.

[@thomasmroz]

Little known fact - when the smartest AI models can’t figure something out, it emails JR’s dad for the answer.

[@beforebefore]

I'm officially impressed... I'm a 40-year Electronics Design engineer, and your Dad's understanding and description of how IGBT PWM regulators/converters and even Op-Amps work - is pretty rare. My dad was a self-taught machinist and mechanical wizard, but electronic circuits was pretty much like a foreign language to him. He didn't really need to know much in that area though, most of his projects were restoring antique motorcycles... and building/rebuilding WWII airplanes... usually with FAR bigger engines than they originally had.

[@died4us590]

Your dad is so funny, when he grabbed that c clamp and said that's a hammer, and knocks that bearing out, to funny. You should do a weekly video with him, because he is a wealth of knowledge, and so funny, especially when he tells a story. G-d bless, and happy new year from a lady freezing in Michigan.

[@MdvK13979]

I hear your dad refer to his dad a couple of times. Love how the tech-savvy gene is passed down the generations :)

[@PatrickDanielson-u4g]

I can hear where you got your knowledge from when you talk, the way you explain reasons why things work a certain way, and how things work. Lucky guy to have a father like that in your life. Always learning, Always a lesson. Respect.

[@myfastcars]

Man,, Your Dad is one SMART and COOL DUDE! Your BLESSED!

[@ThirdDegreeWitchExplores]

Your dad is the fountain of all knowledge , could watch him all day .

[@jerrycapizzi2081]

Whenever I watch Mr. Ross working on things I'm reminded of how brilliant he is.

[@skmetal7]

THESE are the videos I need more of! Your dad is a gem and love watching him fix everything!

[@ryanm4319]

Your Dad reminds me a lot of mine. He was an engineer, and lived his life in those projects and details, entirely in disdain for the lazy, anti-maintenance, “why would you possibly build it this way?!” way of everything these days. I miss him every day, cherish it man. They will never make them analog like that again, built in society but made for machines.

[@keithb6717]

I’ve done a bit of work on those Perkins in Mexico. Every time it meant week/s under sail (with no engine) as those were popular on sailboats. No parts are available there so we learned to find the right machinists to rebuild the parts.

[@BadBrad23]

Should I unplug it? Nah, whats the fun in unplugging it. Epic. Happy new year.

[@Digital-Dan]

SullAir was founded in Michigan City, IN, by an ex-employee of a company I worked for briefly, Joy Manufacturing, also in MCI. One of my tasks was to help a screw compressor engineer at Joy who was using computing to design his devices, and who was convinced that the SullAir guy had made off with his earlier designs. I don't know how these discussions came out, since I went back to school, but it is interesting to see that SullAir has managed to continue its existence for many decades since.

[@ppeterson9359]

You must have one heck of a sprinkler system to need one of those! I used to use a cheap black & decker unit to clear mine until I got a little bigger pancake style. Love your channel! Your dad’s appearances are pure gold! Happy New Year to you and your family!

[@collyoung6017]

Hi John - I used to work at British Engines and that 4100 series motor has not changed much since the 1960's - in a ford transit [1970's] that motor would do 500,000 miles with an odd oil change and tappet adjust no problem !!!

[@RealRickCox]

I don't think I've ever seen you end a video half-way through and then go on another 15 minutes. LOL. Happy New year JR!

[@bigdumguy1974]

Your dad is awesome. Intelligent, no nonsense, and meticulous. I could listen to him teach all day!

[@hubie3111]

Wow John you’re so lucky to have such a smart talented father. Awesome video brother

Happy New Year JR and family !! 🎆🎆

[@billwalker8310]

I see where JR gets the "Turbo Entabulator" talk from. :)

[@johnnie2061]

The original machine had a base plate of pre famulatited amulite🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@memertmemes2586]

Your dad reminds me up my grandfather. He's obviously much younger but I miss having my grandfather around! Seems like the type of guy to know a little about a lot! I wish I'd asked my grandfather more questions.

[@ronblack7870]

a sullair dealer can give you the info on it if you give the serial number. they never have them on the nameplate. sullair is secretive. even the dealers don't get a breakdown of the air end for rebuild purposes. they want you to exchange it for one from the factory. and they won't sell you a new air end without the old one.

[@darrencoyle3290]

Its great to see old school type Guys who can actually read a schematic diagram, myself and my Dad worked for years repairing TV / video equipment before I went to work in an electronics factory, I meet a lot of Guys with electronic degrees that couldn't read a basic circuit diagram. Ross is one smart guy and I could listen to him all night. My Dad is passed away now so maybe that's why I enjoyed this so much it reminds me of my Father.

[@saltofsolomon2454]

I see JR's Dad, I click.

[@theMick52]

Sullair makes some great air compressors! I worked at a shop that had MANY supercharger style compressors. They weren't silent but they weren't horrendously loud! Great air compressors!

[@heyitsmeadam]

I could listen to your Dad for hours.

[@TheJohn8765]

Excellent dad time. Thanks, mate. Have a great new year!

[@psyfertech]

man your dad is a legend

[@bmwpete65s55]

You can tell he's a real tech when he explains how the circuit works while going over the schematic.

[@alskjflaksjdflakjdf]

I love to watch people like John Sr. read schematics. When I read schematics I'm wandering around like a blind man trying to just get a grip on what each component is, let alone does. When he reads the schematic he's doing the thinking first and talking about what the motor needs and what is supplied, and then hunts for it on the schematic. It's a real skill that I'm guessing takes time to develop, because I don't have it yet.

[@kevinthomas895]

Great video to start the new year!

[@stevenreynolds2327]

Getting scammed seems to be a common theme these days.

Love your dad. He had me at Ohm’s Law…

[@unvjustintime1]

[@jazzerbyte]

I wonder how all the original rust formed ... someone put water in and left it? Was the metal junk in the 6205 bearing a manufacturing defect? Often an intriguing problem or tutorial with JR and Dad team!

[@scott01clay74]

JR has you Dad done anything with teaching He is so well spoken Thorough on his explanations, even though you don’t understand that he makes you feel like you do and he seems to have a great deal patience

[@markanderson350]

I am envious of your dad. He is a smart cookie.

You can check the data plate on the oil separator that is tack welded on it. It should give you a year atleast. I used to be the foreman where those separators were made at.

40 year air compressor service technician, mostly with Ingersoll Rand equipment. I did work for a Sullair distributor for a year or so. Let me just tell you- when you even consider buying a Sullair have your head examined then run as fast as you can. Junkiest POS made.

[@djreese1885]

Your dad is a wealth of knowledge and experience. I can see where you got your curiosity and passion for tinkering with electronics, cars etc. from. Super cool to have a father who loves what he does and is good at it. I can imagine how many calls he’s received from you asking for advice on things. Happy new year
