Yerp I probably mow 1000m2 or so, only takes half an hour now.

Bought a new toy today, figure it'll help me attach sh*t to my car easier.

 

Haha fark me I forgot I even bought that tool above, I'd better attach something tomorrow lol. Any whoozle, onto my latest purchase...I took me beer cans up to the recycle yard yesterday and noticed a medium giant compressor in the yard. I asked how much he wanted and it was 30c per kg. I told him I'd pick it up today and $80 later this beauty was mine! It just needs a motor, apparently it works fine otherwise. Before I get asked, it ain't getting turned into a turbo burn barrel, although I am pretty damn tempted lol. I wanted a bigger compressor for the shed and this is what I've got.

 

that's YOOOGE bro... going to run an entire workshop? lol

I've got a 50 litre/3.5hp rig now that just doesn't cut it for working on cars. It's workable but frequently gets overloaded when I get hectic with drying parts or using my air ratchet. To answer the question, yes it should service a medium size workshop, whenever I get the huge shed on the back

or you're just impatient and don't like waiting for it to refill haha

Yeah nah I'm plenty patient, the compressor is just not big enough for decent hobby use. 5 hp and 100 litre is probably the bare minimum.

Got bored so decided to chuck air into the big compressor. Farker was leaking out of cylinder 2 which should not have been the case.

 

Opened it up and there is a broken spring and washer/valve in the valve assembly in the head. Will be easy to sort out a new washer and spring. The other cylinders suck like a hooker trying to start a bus when you turn the pulley.

 

Part numbers from Accupart are CUM8127940 for the washer and CUM8190334 for the spring if anyone else has this issue Don't type it into eBay though, you don't get air compressor parts listed

 

Obligatory pic, good parts on left...
