I got the new 7.5HP motor installed on the IR compressor today. The pulley hub for the larger motor shaft and the motor both arrived yesterday. Wow! Yeah I think it should have always had a 7.5HP motor on it. After installation I vented the tank until the motor kicked on, and it filled fast. Faster than the original motor with the same pulley. The compressor must have been dragging down the 5HP motors a little bit all along. I'm still bring the compressor from my dad's shop and setting the two of them up together so I can quickly swap compressors, but this is so much better I no longer feel the urge to hurry. Bob La Londe ---------------------------------- Congrats, another problem successfully solved. My 80 gallon compressor is in a corner of my crowded shop and needs to be muscled out to work on it. A wider wooden base that lets it slide rather than tip helps a lot. I don't have a pallet jack or room to use one, but if I did a small pallet might be a good base for it.
