certainly an impressively blown up compressor, also you gained me as a sub

@@jackhentschel5961 much appreciated

Awesome teardown video. Can't help but wonder when you are changing the name of your channel to I Do/Did Air Compressors😊

Just remember to bring your safety squints.

@@Boodieman72 that's right.

💯👍🏻👌🏻 🚫🛢️🤦🏻‍♂️

This is true. In fact I don't know if they ever did.

They probably changed the air filters at some point lol

@@nitromyke probably the only thing they changed

I know the feeling. I work in an antiquated recycling facility for a trash company that collections takes priority. We're barely able to get them to complete some urgent repairs, while we handle the rest with plant staff, primarily myself. Preventative maintained has never been a priority. Every gearbox in the place is supposed to have a 6 month oil change interval(some can go 3yrs if you use a specific expensive oil.) Other than 1 gearbox that blew up, none of them have had an oil change since I changed the oil in one in 2017, beyond needed for topping up/major seal leak replacement. There is one I don't even have a way to check the oil level in, due to an out a 15deg out of the closest of the 5 specified mounting position. Our air compressor is an 80gal 240v upright model, that dates to the mid 1990's. It's maintanence is equally neglected, although it's only run a day or 2 per week to blow out equipment radiators and clean off equipment(although I do have an adapter hose around, converting the company Automotive style fittings to the I/M fittings I use; for big projects I have the opportunity to plan in advance for and bring in my helpful air tools from home), and I try to at least check the oil level, and drain the water every month or 2. The bottom of the tank is filled with that super sticky white oil/water sludge anyone that drained poorly maintained compressors knows well.

I kept it.

​@@BeardedFordTechjust out of curiosity, is it a relatively recent electric engine? Everyone keeps telling me to keep mine as it's over thirty years old.

@@josedomingosteixeira1379 maybe 5 years old. It's not 30 years old for sure

​@@BeardedFordTechMine is from 1992.

@josedomingosteixeira1379 yes I would definitely keep that. This one is about 5 years old maybe 7.

A self-repairing con rod...

It was hammer forged.

oh for sure!

And they didn't notice. Had making alot racket for a long time.

@@mitchellmerrill8459the thing is, is that if it’s gradual enough you won’t notice, some one said my trucks blinker click noise was loud when I replaced the blinker box it was ALOT quieter

@@joshmanis9860don't forget to change the blinker fluid too. It's an oft-forgotten maintenance item.

@@brighamshamrell4524 will do😉

a new head is actually really cheap. for 4500 I hope he bought a screw!

On that compressor there is a low oil level switch..I believe it failed long before the pistons did.

@@ericknutson602 I don't think it failed as there was still oil like sludge on the sensor. It just could not sense the rest of the missing oil. Though makes you wonder if Eric is going to make sure his shop compressors are up on their oil and maintenance.

How do the valves work? I always assumed valves in a compressor were similar to reed valves in a two stroke dirt bike but these don’t look anything like that.

We change the oil in ours once a year

As oil was disappearing metal was flaking off it was bringing up the oil grit level to keep it going, I can't believe how trashed that thing is!

I've seen mill files with higher lubricity...

It both was and wasn't... lubiquitous. 😏

You mean your oil isn't supposed to be gritty...?!

lmao it's running on lapping compound

That's unless a vehicle is flat towed still in gear!

@@dagamer667 when you do that. You get your just rewards and hopefully learn something.

@@dagamer667that poor EJ. Still one of my favorites to this day

@@dagamer667 Good point. Has Eric ever had one that happened to?

@@dagamer667 would lock the wheels up before continuing being a hammer forge

I believe its Malus, but Malice kinda works too i guess.

@@darthkarl99 You believe completely wrong 🤣, it's definitely malice 😏

@@zaphodbeeblebrox1695 Must be an accent thing as he way they pronounce malice is nothing like how we pronounce it but exactly how we pronounce malus.

@@darthkarl99 😵‍💫 He's saying Malice !, as in malice in the combustion palace , wtf is malus and what has it got to do with the price of fish

@@zaphodbeeblebrox1695 Malus is an older english word meaning bad,evil, wrong, e.t.c.

Not true, there was no dipstick either!

Yep. That's the problem when another part of the company is responsible for that type of stuff. No they aren't. Now it's my responsibility and it shall be serviced on time.

@@BeardedFordTech i wonder if it has a inline air water separator to keep the air tools clean. or has it been sending slush to your tools 😖

@@evilbrian66 there is an in line water separator. I use battery tools now. Obviously air for the drive on lift to release locks and use air blow guns. And use air to empty oil catches and such. But there is a separator inline

I kept the electric motor. And the tank. Will add it to the new shop when it's built

😂

Kind of like reed valves I take it??

Exactly what happened here.

'The tool' made a few while extracting the wrist pins, but there was no appropriate fuel delivery.

sadly that's how first world operates, you start out doing it right, and slowly, in a series of small moneysaving changes, you start to cheat, cut corners, and take shortcuts, until your production line feels more like a jerry rigging line, because you can afford to lose out on reliability and efficiency a third world shop though? they need to make their stuff last, they can't afford failures and replacements, so they learn real quick it has to be done right everytime

if this doesnt get top comment ill be mad

😂

Big brain here

I imagine this substance would exist if T-800s had babies

I agree because it converts on form of energy into mechanical energy.

Oil bath compressors like this can last decades. I have an oil free compressor, its only about 20 minutes and $20 to drop a new ring and cylinder in. Pick your poison.

Yes In had one made in 1948. I used it up until 2016 when I sold it to make space. It had a dipstick, which was a good idea compared to a sight glass.

The 'lil' 18" Diamalloy! 😅pretty cool! 👍🏻🛠️🔧

My dad was an aircraft PowerPoint mechanic in WW2. While we were growing up on the farm, he always favored buying and using Diamond tools.

and on the high pressure side, the inlet valve is the same design as the two for air inlet valves.

@@TheStefanskoglund1 Yes then reed to tank.

These ain't reed valves. They're spring loaded disc valves, but they do work the same, just more efficiently.

😂

Doubt it is ceramic.

lol, made me chuckle

@@I_Do_Cars Just a little of what we receive from you weekly. You deserve it 😁

Shame a bot took your comment but i found ya

I've wondered that also. Just one day it appeared in the videos and has been there since.

@@stonent 😀Idk I've asked & brought it up a few times. Guess it's just a mystery box! 😂😂
