  The CH stuff is not what it used to be and the 5 is REALLY a 3.5 or
3.75 and the 7.5 is an honest 5, in my experience. It took a 5HP
current production replacement motor to replace the old 3.5 I had on
my compressor.

-------------------------
Mine is an 80 gallon Husky that apparently fell over, it had a small base 
and is very top heavy. I got it for $75 minus the control and compressor 
head and put an HF replacement on it. The tank claims 7 HP peak, the 
original motor's label gives 2.98 KW (3.99 HP) and the wattmeter I added 
shows 2.4 KW (3.2 HP) with a smaller than original pulley.

I'm not suggesting that an air compressor deserves a wattmeter, it serves as 
a 240V 100A Kill-A-Watt to display power to other things I can plug in for 
testing such as a 240V Variac.
