Restoration rusty old air compressor | Restore vintage air compressor 

very nice job. but four things concern me, one the water that came out of the tank, in order for me to use that tank I would preform a hydraulic test in order to validate the structural integrity of the tank. Two I would be cautious of using the old pressure switch, it might work for a bit but would fail down the road, I would end up replacing it with a new one. Three I would never paint the air pipes with the fins coming off the compressor, due that what helps cols the hot air coming off the compressor. And Four I would replace the quick connect couplers with newer ones so I can us them with any newer air hose and tools.

I admire the hard work but it seems you don't care about some details and I must agree with some comments about them. Still a good job: you saved an old air compressor, so many years still to live. Thanks for the video.

When he sprayed water into the crankcase I had to cry.😭

Rusty pressure tank ... what could go wrong?

Зачем разбирал непонятно, мог бы просто всё краской облить, тоже самое бы вышло!! И красить надо было в розовый, мы хоть поржали бы :D

Watching that painting hurts so bad 😂

Ржавый фигня) пускового конденсатора нет, цилиндры с ржавчиной) ресивер надо бы на давление проверить после такого простоя)

... no pressure test, no new ball bearings, did not open motor, did not check valves... ... it was not restoration, it was a cleaning and paiting job. ... a lot to do ...

they have not been opened and checked: engine, valves, ball bearings and fittings. most importantly, no air leaks have been checked from the tank and at the beginning of the video the water is rust-colored, it is not a good sign, probably the inside is worse than the outside. advice on painting: do not paint the cylinder dissipation slats otherwise the heat will not be disposed and there will be a risk of breakage due to overheating.

Такое ощущение,что компрессор специально ободрали от краски и бросили в воду, чтобы потом типа отреставрировать

Painful to watch...

To use that compressor is like having a time bomb in the garage.. and the paint turned out ok btw 😉

Такое ощущение что он просто захерачил хороший компрессор пескоструем закинул его в воду на недельку и тип отреставрировал

Хоть бы болты новые поставил а то ржавые назад прикрутил типо так с завода !

Já fiz esse serviço em um compressor de ar, é um bom aprendizado de como tudo funciona e seus ajustes. Parabéns!

Anyone who puts hate in these videos I want you to think about how you would feel if you were the person getting the hate. You "adults" need to grow the hell up and stop sending so much hate and start commenting nice things. I guarentee that most of you who comment hate can't do anything in this video or any of the other restoration videos on this channel. I seriously hope that you people learn that nobody cares about all the hate and that you just need to treat others as you would treat yourself. Excellent work. Keep it up. I support you all the way on your restorations!😁

Sorry this was just painting, not an restoration,- no changes of shaft seals, valves, ball bearings etc...

I've heard of rusty bottoms in compressors blowing out and leaving a hole in the shop ceiling.

Como dice Marcos Marques, podría haber sido mejor, pero considero que con la limitación de recursos fue bastante buena. Felicitaciones!!

Very good restoration video. I prefer these slightly longer restorations of complex machinery.

Speed Video x2 👍👍👌

21 minutes in you're using rusty bolts to assemble it?! And painting without primer?!

I'm a car guy and I love taking stuff apart I take in lawn mower engines apart before and I just absolutely love this video

Excelente!!! Gracias sos una inspiración para empezar a restaurar mi compresor.

болгарка с кордщеткой, покраска кисточкой .... эх как все просто и душевно, по гаражному ))

The engine rebuild was great...but the painting was sloppy...try sandblasting the steel, adding a zinc coat primer and wet sanding, followed by a hammertone spray paint...but generally not bad, except for the gold paint on plastic looks tacky

Saludos cordiales ing Felipe, espetacular tu mantenimiento del equipo de aires comprimido. Saludos

great job, for a home gamer with little knowledge and simple tools, this turned out great.

1. Сомнения в старости компрессора от времени 2. Нахер разберал, так бы и красил 3. У меня бабушка в сарае так дверь отреставрировала, жалко видео не снял

Poderia ter ficado muito melhor... mas parabéns pelo esforço

With well over a million views somebody is doing something right. I for one enjoyed it.

Ótimo trabalho!! Essa côr ficou melhor que a anterior. Parabéns.

lack of experience, so many things half way cleaned and poor paint job

Channel should be called " 5 year maintenance" and not restoration as it fell quite short of restoration. Not enough in depth work went into this project. I can appreciate the effort to make this a better working machine but it still falls short of a FULL RESTORATION. Much more attention to detail needed to actually call it a RESTORATION.

great video. I just swapped tanks for my air compressor.

Besides just painting over everything, I was a little surprised that with the cylinders off he didn't do a quick hone. You could see it was just put back together. There was even paint over the oil check window. I refurbished an older compressor and even used a rust converter inside the tank to hopefully slow down the rust. He has done a nice job with other projects, but feel this one was just a rush job to get a video out.

А вы не заметили,что он специально ржавчиной покрыт?

I consider that this work is not a restoration. it's a repair only

Best entertainment ever....I’m at awe at the ability of this man restoring things. I might’ve learn something today. Keep it going.

良い仕事してますね！ 見入ってしまいます。これからも頑張ってください。

not a restoration but a clean up and paint

Компрессор современный ! Его , что кислотой облили ? Как-то не серьезно ...

Just wondering about how safe the tank is; it sure looks rusty! I understand you can get them water pressure tested?

The work you did is similar to what is done by those who go to your house. you pay a fortune, they do it in a hurry, and it is left with a bungling finish. What time have I lost watching this video

With so much water drained from the tank, one wonders about the condition of the tank from a safety standpoint. Is there weakness due to corrosion which might not be readily apparent? Good clean up, by the way. What was the coating which you used on the tank prior to painting? Was it a rust converter type of chemical?

it looks like it wash sprayed with acid, not sat outside for 20 years.

Thanks so much for making this. I’m about to do the same thing so you give me good reference.

16:00 давай, лей воду в цилиндры, не жалей. Вообще то такую очистку проводят заглушив все отверстия.

How rusty is the inside of that bomb if the outside was that rusty

It is not restoration, just reassembly with cleanup and painting. And at the end it rises pressure quite slow for two cylinder compressor.

Crappy restoration! Love the way you slathered the paint on! If that thing still works in a week I would be surprised!

Cara é fera rapaz.

faltou pintar por dentro do tambor .......

I left after the really bad paint job...

Neat trick to clear all the water from that tank is pour enough denatured alcohol in those tanks to be able to roll the tank around to saturate all the walls with the plugs in all the holes then take the plugs back out and dump out as much as you can and the rest of the alcohol will evaporate the rest of the moisture left

Si la parte de la pintura la hubiera hecho con más ganas le metía el like....

Nice restoration but very low attention of details

Когда шлифуешь, полируешь, чистишь детали, то отверстия надо заглушать, иначе пиздец резьбе.

Parabéns rapaz por esse trabalho lindo de restauração, ficou perfeito. 100% novo. Ja me inscrevi e com notificações ativadas, tenha de mim 1000 likes. Abraço forte...

Good. One suggestion, clean up the nuts and bolts a little more, new cotter pins. Otherwise very nice.

Хм....такое ощущение, что ты его СПЕЦИАЛЬНО состарил....)))

you should fill the interior with rust remover too.

I think you did a decent job of cleaning up and restoring the compressor to a better condition. I'm concerned about the integrity of the tank insides a hydro test would be in order for peace of mind. All in all this is a tool and the people that want to see everything polished to a mirror finish should realize that this is for a shop and not an art museum.

No gloves? Savage. Thanks for giving us some quality entertainment. Very satisfying to watch.

You should replace the power cord with an earthed one, this is currently a death trap.

Thank you for the entertainment But ,You didn't coat the inside of the compressor with ANY kind of enamel paint against the rust it would have helped its longevity.

I loved the little jacket that was used as a rag 10:23

Not bad. Some work went in and the end product looks a lot better that what you started with.

240v plug WITHOUT GROUND ?!!?!!!!!?!?!!!!!!!?!!????????? 23:15

Sempre um excelente trabalho

Quick restoration to bring it back into working condition is a very good thing to do, my only concern is the amount of rusty water drained from the pressure vessel. A pressure test was needed to be carried out prior to rebuilding as the inside will hide lots of nasties especially around the welded sections. Myself if I had one as rusty as that I would have scrapped it and purchased a newer more powerful unit. But an interesting restoration never the less.😊

動画のテンポもいいし仕事も丁寧でＧＯＯＤです。

What kind of painting is that? My kid can do that

У вас что дожди кислотные что ли?Как так мог заржаветь?

It's mind boggling how you remember how all those parts go back together.

I could never keep track of all of those parts!

Почему манометр не закрасил, не понятно?

The condition of the compressor raises too many questions... Why the receiver is so rusty relative to other components. The piston supercharger is possible in oil, and the electric motor is also in oil? But like there is no. The cover on the electric motor is generally as new. Why do fittings and pressure gauges then look in good condition? The receiver in General how could there be rust? I have the feeling that with him first, especially chemistry washed off the paint, and then direct pour acid or salt solution on it straight rust STAINS. Note that when he removed the electric motor and the piston supercharger, the pads on which they are installed in the MOUNTING PLACES also have an even layer of rust. How is that possible? Was he in the water all the time? If it was in such an aggressive environment that it was covered in rust, why did nothing happen to the sticker on the side of the receiver? Around the sticker you can even see a flat strip, as if it was sealed with something. The paint on the piston supercharger is all in lumps, as after applying the paint remover. All threaded connections are unscrewed easily and naturally, and this is in this state.... By itself, the compressor may not be very new, but not exactly vintage. Don't take people for fools. (google translate)

Helo sou do brasil e adoro seus vídeos

i want know machine oil how to clean , and what liquid you used ?

Nice! imagine what the inside of the tank is like. I wouldn't tRust it.

"""vintage""" but the motor has a recent-looking plastic cover on it.

Такое ощущение, что для таких видео специально ставят рабочие агрегаты на несколько месяцев в сырое помещение, чтобы потом "реставрировать" видно же что коррозия поверхностная.

Great project to see. I've got a German compressor, built in 1979 whitch I converted to my wishes. If I'm looking over this project, I think you forgot to connect the earth/ground to the compressor and motor. how much power does the motor have?

You can see the trails Of whatever chemical they sprayed on the tank to make it look rusty no doubt that's an older compressor but to try to enhance the rust to make it seem worse is a joke

17:16 когда так затягивают, обычно закручивают, например, трубу. Если сплющишь резьбу, горе мастер, то детали пиздец.

You don't need to smear sealant around the bolt holes. Think what needs to be sealed. The bolts will be fine.

Parabens ficou dez 👏👏

Походу дядя облил компрессор смывкой для краски и специально оставил его ржаветь,чтоб потом типо реставрировать старинную вещ

Ты что все инструменты под водой хранишь чтоли?

Buen video saludos desde Ecuador 🇪🇨🇪🇨🇪🇨

I found an old air compressor similar to this one with a belt drive on it. I powered it up slowly with a variac and was really surprised to find it had compresson and ran lol. Its gotta be from the 40s lol. I couldnt find any markers on it to tell me the make or model. Ive restore and build tube amps and radios in my spare time and love a good restoration project but im trying to decide if this compressor i found is worth the effort. Still undecided.

So u mean to tell me, you did all that work to HAND PAINT IT BACK??? WOW!!! Really man???

Nice final result. Thumb up!

Very good restoration compressor🔥🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍👍

Nice job those old cast iron compressors last forever

You had such a good start then just slopped on the paint. I was cringing hard at the horrible paint.

That tank should be scraped what ur doing is dangerous some1 will think the tank is new and then BANG

Muy buena restauracion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! saludos

You need the pressure inside the tank when you take out drain so that it comes out quickly and perfectly
