I enjoyed watching your video. It was very informative. I would have never thought to break down the compressor like that to make an old unit look brand new. Makes me want to do it as well.
Before doing such work, it is necessary to make sure that the air tank is intact. If the air tank is problematic or rotten, it must be replaced with a new one. Otherwise it will cause major damage
Great work, cool video. 35:39 - I saw that one coming. 🙂 When I saw the air outlet aligned with the manometer connection I thought _"no, no, it has to be oriented the other way or the hose won't fit!"_ ...Thanks for sharing.
It's a nice restoration for the visual but for the technical and safety part it's not that, let me explain, the most dangerous part is the tank, you have to check the interior condition as well as its thickness of this one because if there is rust it is a place to weaken and risk of explosion. Good luck for the future

I use cheap USB borescopes to inspect air tanks and other pressure vessels as they're narrow enough to fit through the small fittings (the large inspection plugs tend to be rusted shut). The old tanks tend to be thicker than the modern consumer junk. I do not buy new consumer-grade compressors as few are decently made. Restoration (after determining if overhaul parts are available) is the way to afford industrial quality equipment.
Great video. One question: why did you use 2 pipe out from the cylinder head like that ? I mean, when I see the original design, the two cylinder head are connected into 1 common ,,rail'' which goes into the tank. I am symphatizing with you solution, so is there any exact reason? Is this design better than stock design? I have a 3kW (single phase), 3 Cylinder compressor and it is able to produce 400 l/min at 4 bar and 350 l/min at 7 bar.
Thanks for the comment. If you look carefully, the machine has been restored. That is, it has been renewed as in the original. No changes were made to it.

@@MechanicTechnic I'm talking in reference to the tank rusting internally over time. Some people never drain the tanks and they just rot out until they blow. Yours may very well be in good shape.
Question. Im looking at a used 80 Gallon CH air compressor with a tf061903av pump. The oil in the pump looks good. The electric motor is being rebuilt as they over greased the bearings, so I cant run it to ensure it works. When I spin the pump I can hear it compressing air but then I hear air either coming out/in of the oil plug vent which is almost a pvc valve. is this normal?
I didn't quite understand the problem. I understand you said that air is coming out of the oil plug. A small amount of air output is normal, but if the amount is large, it may be a problem.
@@MechanicTechnic Correction..the oil plug is a solid metal plug...no air coming from there. There is what looks like a check valve (PVC) up higher on the pump that vents the crank case pressure...thats where some air is coming from as i rotate the flywheel. I rotated the flywheels around two revolutions with my hand plugging the open (fitting removed so empty 80 gal tank) air line...removed my hand and the tank had a bit of pressure blow out...this seems good i think? The motor failed due to over greasing the bearings...never thought of that.
Very nice restoration. #1: You put too much oil in the pump. Oil level is to the red dot in the middle of the inspection glass. #2: Why didn't you put Teflon tape on all the threaded parts to keep it from leaking air? What was the blue stuff you put on the threads?
This restoration should be illegal. How does he knows if the tank is rusty on the inside? Did he do a water pressure psi test? (Safer to test max psi of a tank with water)
Old air compressors are like ticking time bombs - you never know when they will go off. It's not a good idea to have a bomb near you... that's why you never repair an airframe older than 10 years. safety first!
The tank looks very nice..on the outside, the least important place, no attention given to the inside though, none, the most important place. And the ring gap spacing? Zero f's given there as well, guess you don't care how well or long it works just as long as it looks good. Not to mention the amount of RTV d̶r̶e̶s̶s̶i̶n̶g̶ splurged onto the crank housing gasket, that fat bead oozing on the outside that you cleaned off also oozed on the inside of course, where you couldn't, but hey.. what's a blocked oil way to a blind dog in a dark alley if the dog has a nice coat of paint, woof. Never heard of cross tightening head bolts either, apparently, just round the clock. Then we have completely pointless split, not star, washers on the electrical connections to the motor plus no grommet or cable gland in sight for a mains cable passing through a square edged hole on a machine that vibrates, brilliant stuff. O and no washers at all between those cotter pins and a plastic hub. Your channel name starts with the word "mechanic", how ironic. A bit like the compressor, I guess you don't mind if it means anything as long as it looks good. Very pretty, 1 out of 10 for superficial fluff. The clueless like how nice it looks, beauty being skin deep apparently.
I am improving myself. Stay tuned for better content. Beautiful. You criticized everything that was done. But your criticisms seem like you're mocking me. I won't answer them all one by one. I can give you my answer by making better projects. Thanks.
@@MechanicTechnic Sorry, I was a bit harsh, pre afternoon coffee. I've just watched many videos claiming to be restorations of equipment that amounted to little more than a coat of paint, I suppose yours just became the straw that broke the camels back. I only criticized those things that were not right, not everything, your colour choices were great for instance and the plumbing was without error as was your wise choice of sealant rather than teflon tape. And you plainly have an excellent attitude, even in the face of some grumpy old knowall on the internet such as myself. So good on you, I liked your aircon conversion video if it's any consolation, that was nice work ;)

Contrary to popular belief, it does not rust much because the inside of the tank is lubricated. This makes it harder for it to rot from the inside.
Congratulations thank you so much for the demo!!!
Wonderful beautiful restoration of a compressor
Thanks
Nice job 👏 question how about the inside the tank isn't rusty inside?
Thanks. Yes, after all, it's a 20-year-old machine, of course, rusty inside. I applied rust remover in it, but it was not included in this video.

Use sandblasting my friend
Unfortunately I don't have a sandblasting machine.
Very nice restoration. #1: You put too much oil in the pump. Oil level is to the red dot in the middle of the inspection glass. #2: Why didn't you put Teflon tape on all the threaded parts to keep it from leaking air? What was the blue stuff you put on the threads?
Thank you.
#1 You're right. I may have put in a little too much.
I used a more practical liquid adhesive instead of Teflon for airtightness.
It is much more practical and robust.

Restoring a tank is never a good idea .
get a new tank and restore the motor and other components , but never the tank .
rust will make it a ticking time bome
should cut the labour down sandblast the thing
