I must confess that I have NOT been kind to my compressor for the last 28 yrs. I got it as a 30th BD present, so I know the EXACT date it went into service. It is a Craftsman 1.5 hp, portable on wheels, standard design of the time. I emptied the tank of moisture once (I think) some years ago. Some time thereafter, I brazed a a rust hole. (Gee, wonder why it rusted). I checked the compressor oil a year or so ago. It was still full.
It still runs good, enough to fill tires with air and run the occasional impact wrench when removing tires.
The reason for this confession is to move my name to the top of the list for the "jack-booted supermodels" visit. Please advise on their arrival time, so I can be sure to be "cleaned up" and to make sure the mrs is "out shopping". [img]/forums/images/icons/wink.gif[/img]
