I guess it is about time to purchase a good air regulator? This is the second Central Pheumatic unit that has crapped out.
Harbor Freight crappy air regulator
My $20 air regulator from Harbor Freight started to leak and caused the air compressor to run yesterday. Looks like the crap remover is cracked.
Garbage?
Someone left some sheetrock which would have been nice if I needed it. I also figured out that the air gauge on my Harbor Freight regulator (92261) was broken which did not last very long (I had just installed it).
Why you should get a reputable company to install your sign?
Not cool! Well it is funny if it is not your sign. The sign says “EL MERCADO Carniceria Tienda Torttilleria” which I think translates to “I am glad Harbor Freight is a couple doors down so we can purchase some rope”.
How not to remove a pulley?
So I purchased the Harbor Freight “3 Jaw Puller Set” (32184) today for $12 and proceeded to put together all the pullers. I installed the correct puller then broke the pulley.
I guess I needed to remove the pen thing first (2nd picture with arrow)? Not really sure how to remove it though. I already removed the screw but not quite sure how to slide the piece out?
Trying to fix an air compressor
I am trying to fix one of my air compressors that I have laying around in the basement. I have one motor that seems to work but the pulley is missing. So I need to remove a pulley off a non-working motor and put it on a working motor. I have never done this before but I did remove the nut thing on the side and I guess I need a puller pulley set? I will try and purchase a set tomorrow from Harbor Freight.
