As some of you probably know by now we moved a few months ago to a new shop. It took about 2 1/2 months to complete. We have a LOT of equipment from CNC machines to lasers and even large format printers cutters etc. Out of all the equipment we moved some of it really delicate and sensitive the ONLY casualty was my beloved Ingersoll Rand 60 Gallon compressor. I was trying to skooch it around the shop and load it up by myself when it started to tip over. Being so top heavy when it started to go I couldn t stop it. It fell flat on the cage and the cage didn t prevent the large pulley from taking the full brunt of force. Long story short the crank inside of the compressor section was bent. We tried to heat it up and bend it back but it was not successful. Somehow I found a new crank on ebay for a couple hundred dollars. We pulled it all apart and replaced it. Talk about a major win I got my ol girl back. Now I have already replaced this with a 15hp Quincy Rotary compressor so it s not the end of the world. But I spent a lot of money and the original IR is my baby So I really wanted it back. Now that it is repaired and up and running it is my new badass BACKUP tank. I got some 250lb casters did some design work and laser cut some 1/4q plate. The pics below are self explanatory but after I finished it I also really wanted my air dryer back that used to cover the entire shop . So I designed another plate to accommodate that. It bolts right on now It s now even more badass
