Re: PTO air compressor

with 4 days left its going to get pricey, I have not used one like that but have the air conditioner conversion, that worked well under light use. "It was working 30 or 40 years ago," may not work now! but could be restored, but then what cfm is it at what rpm,,,,,,

I looked a little more, a nother guy has the manual for it for sale.... and looking at other pto comrpessors that look to be about the same size, looks like 3cfm.<br /><br />I could see if usefull if you have a lot of property, would let you air up tires, or use a nail guy to build something far away from power.

Re: PTO air compressor

I would give it a shot and add a storage tank in line with it. A nice old propane tank would work and you would get more use out of it.<br /><br />What would you mount it on? Something that would obviously be burning fuel to run a tiny compressor.... or would a small stand alone contractor compressor be cheaper to run.
