Hoping it weighs more Any ideas? Was thinking of buying and hauling it straight to the yard, but don't want to lose money.

    P.s I know what ya thinking..fix it resell. No time. Not that Im not capable, just busy with other things. As well as storage comes into play.
    Poor pictures, cant see if the compressor is a piston, rotary vane or screw, should be two rads, one for the engine the other to separate the oil from the air also cool the air.



    I do not think his phone has been ringing off the hook, flash the cash a hundred dollar bill should take it home. Scrap it is the right idea, not worth fixing.

    Maybe you'll get lucky and get an Atlas Copco hammer or a drill, that machine was much to small for sand blasting.

    If you click on this picture, it'll take you to his photobucket page and there are a couple other pictures of the compressor (use BACK arrow). Plus some other interesting pictures.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.
