- 75 - New 60 Gallon Compressor installation
Our old 60 gallon Husky Compressor finally went out. It was actually because I forgot to check the oil, and it became too low, and seized up the pump. Very sad for sure.
So, on the advice of a friend, and several others in our King’s Fine Woodworking Community Group, I went with an Ingersoll Rand 60 gallon compressor. This video covers how we swapped out the two.
One interesting thing to note. Is that the Ingersoll Rand, I was told by many, is the upper end of compressors, and the Husky is the lower end. Yet the prove between the two, was only about $65.00. Not really a huge difference for something with a much better reputation and warranty.
The compressor was bought entirely by us, with no sponsorship of any kind. I don’t really know how good it is. But, I can use it for 6 months or a year, and then report back on it for those interested.
Tools used to do the install:
Ingersoll Rand 60 Gallon Compressor
Milwaukee Insulated Electrical Screwdrivers
Voltage detector

James you will never go wrong with Ingersoll Rand Products
As funny as it might look. The two employee's loading have to do things safely and carefully, to protect themselves and the customers vehicle and without damaging the compressor as well. They don't want to get hurt at work, and they have an employer to answer to if they schmuck the customers vehicle. So they were cautious and took their time. Safety is the number one priority. That being said; The kids did an amazing job too.
My thought too. It's not like they were weaklings.
Hi James, I think I told you, but here it goes again, your girls are AWESOME, not only they work great, they can take command of a situation no problem, and it seems the boys around them are them are top of the line also, I see so many kids around that can't even screw a bolt right... your about to become the "help" around while they drive the show....lollll!!!
James, I've had an IR compressor for 4-5 years now without any problems. Mine was bought from TSC and is a 80 gal. tank, 5hp, 2 stage. This thing will run 24/7 ( says IR ). It's in my basement and piped to my garage (with a splitter for inside use ) where I use it for all my mechanical work and recently for replacing windows and siding, so it really gets a workout. Keep it clean and full of oil and it'll last for years. Don't forget to drain the tank daily.Thanks for the video.
I've worked in the tool industry for 40 years, and all you need is a NEW compressor pump and someone will have a great setup. Check with IR about a new pump or with NAPA auto parts, or WW Grainger for a new pump
Great video, awesome family.
I gotta say James, If only my daughters did the same. So proud of them as teachers and mothers of my lovely grandchildren and proud of my sons in law but, you know, still to have the girls to help out in the shop. Love the show mate from Oz x
That is an excellent compressor. I've owned mine for about 18 years and it still runs flawlessly after lots and lots of hours of use. One recommended modification is to replace the factory tank drain valve with a 90 fitting to a short pipe and and a ball valve that is easier to access. I drain water from mine daily before each use.
You should have added a drain option to the bottom of the tank with a shut off so you can easily drain the tank out of the shed. You can still do it now it is just harder to access.
I just reinstalled my Kobalt 60 gallon in my shop after epoxycoating the floor. I tipped it over and installed locking casters on the skid to keep it a little mobile.
The old tank fails nothing, set it up parallel with the new one and you have twice the tank capacity
Thinking the same. Maybe the additional footprint wont allow.
Suggested the same yesterday, helps if you need a large airflow for short periods
I have one, it’s heavy, but I was able to load it and unload into my van myself...slowly and carefully! But I did it!
Bartlebee Smithers same here. It was heavy, but a good sized man can do this by himself. Just be careful once it’s off the pallet. Very top heavy.
MY NAME IS JAMES. CONGRATULATIONS
Smoker project coming up!!!
Thanks for the video, y’all. 😘
Straight up beast mode!!!!
New compressor looks great...
I have Ingersoll Rand TS4N5 80 gallon 5hp two stage , Great machine ! Hope yours is still serving you well .
James, you made a wonderful choice. I am on my second air compressor the first Ingersoll lasted me 18 years and I am now on my second. I also have mine outside in a shed. Glad to see you are using synthetic oil. Winter’s in Colorado can be extremely cold, The synthetic oil helps during cold weather.
I agree with Andrew Powell. Ingersoll Rand products will never let you down. If something does go wrong, the company will provide excellent service.
EXTREME air compressor! 😊❤️😊
Maybe the kids have super powers that the grown men and forklift don’t!!!! 😉
Thanks for the video, y’all. 😘
IR products are every where good stuff. I bought a Snap On 1/2 impact gun and after the fance outer covering there was a IR under it.
Great Video, capable family!
Thanks for sharing James. I did want to let you know that your licence plate was in full view and readable in some shots in case privacy is a concern of yours. Never can tell who the weirdos are on the internet sometimes. Happy building
Искренне радуюсь, за Вас и вашу покупку.
First thing I would do is disconnect the breaker! Jk. Though I do think you need to feed that 'boyfriend'. Great videos. Keep them coming.
I have the same unit. Mine is a good 15 years old though. Not sure why the IR guys had such a hard time loading it. I ordered mine from Home Depot and me and one guy loaded it up into my Expedition. I even got it out by myself (with an appliance dolly). I actually built a box out of 3/4" ply that the unit sits on, Ir raises it a good foot or so off the ground and it's where I have installed an automatic tank drain that spits out the tanks water every once and a while.
You have some great kids, give them a pat on the back from too, us older guys have to be careful, lol
Nice upgrade
I don't know about tank capacity but that thing is very quiet even before you close the door, I have two compressors, a little cheap job and my big one and both of them are a lot louder than yours. good luck for the future.
Cool video. Do you have a switch inside the shop to turn it on/off? Would also love to see a video of your dust collection set up. Having that stuff outside the shop is a great idea
This was a really good video
Seriously, one if the best families on UA-cam.
I dispise Facebook. I wish your group was on a different platform but I'm sure you guys will be ok without me.
Gravity is your friend when unloading but your enemy when loading.
Thanks for sharing appreciate it
Nice air compressor Ithink Air Comppresor Inside Isolated Shad. It can get Overheat And It can last Less Because Air it has to Flow and Cool down It And it has To suck air
You haven’t done an update
How has it been think of get that model
Is the hard wired in or does it plug into a outlet
Is 10/3 to small of wire to run to this compressor?
Great video, thank you James! However, I've always read that these should be transported vertically. Don't know if there's any reason/truth behind that.
I have that same compressor and it's 300lbs.
Personally i wouldnt put a compressor next to the dust collector. All its doing is breathing in the dust from the collector.
How is this compressor holding up? I am looking at buying that model very soon. Thanks!
Flawless. It’s been on and pressurized since the day I bought works fantastic.
Maybe you mentioned this before James, but do you have a cyclone front-ending that dust collection system?
Is your ingersoll wired for 220 or 110?
IR compressors have been around for awhile and it should hold up okay. How did you determine you needed a 120v 60 gallon unit?
Be nice to have a 60 gallon I have a 2.5 gallon air compressor take for ever do anything with it.. lol
I'm looking to replace a air compressor not to be too nosey but how much did that cost,
Nice compressor! I have read that you are routinely supposed to release the moisture from the bottom of the tank so it doesn’t rust. Do most people do this? Is it a big issue?
mgrotowski yeah it really is, if you never drain the moisture out eventually you will loose tank capacity due to the volume of water inside plus obviously internal rust can cause major structural weakness. So do it regularly. I added a ball valve and 2mt of hose to drain directly outside on mine. I do it weekly or more often depending on how much I'm using it
Larn Davies , I’ve seen the automatic valves for about $25. Seems like that may be an option?
mgrotowski definitely a good idea .saves remembering to drain it.
Smoker project coming up!!!
👍
It's a 300 pound, single stage.
Rly need it? 👌🏻👌🏻
What guy does not have a trailer or even a hitch for one? Jesus just rent a trailer its only like $40.
@6:47 Ummmm hey dummy you don't screw the hose onto there. You're supposed to put a quick connect on there. Derp...
your friend gave bad advice. shouldve just got a new pump.
Poor installation. It needs a bigger area to draw air from. Also a real bad idea to have it in such a dusty area.
So many don't in your installation. People beware!
Pretty swift James. It’s great when you have all those extra workers hanging around the house.
