What’s up y’all alright so you can see I got this compressor on a trailer and I’m
about to show you all how to move a compressor on the trailer and give you a
bunch of tips and tricks. I might have a whole series on air compressor stuff you know
putting this thing back together I’m going to take you all along with me
putting it back together air compressor tips and tricks you know stuff to get
the best performance out of your equipment so make sure you subscribe
because you’re not going to want to miss out alright so you can see I got this
compressor up on the trailer and it’s an 80 gallon champion air compressor thumbs
up champion best compressors ever made so I’ve heard but you can see it’s
missing the motor and the pump because I took it apart to put it on the trailer
now there’s a bunch of different ways you can do this you can strap it to a
pallet and put it on the trailer strap it to a pallet we’ll bolt it to a pallet
put in truck bed with the forklift you can use one of those little hand
things and push it up on the trailer maybe pull it up on the trailer take it apart
don’t strap it on here on a pallet and just you know put it bare down on the
trailer just as it is like the feet bare like this however you do it get it on
the trailer the way I did it was I took it apart so I’m going to show you all
the other parts here real quick it’s in three pieces the tank the pump is over
here and the motor is over here so let’s take a look at that I’m gonna hop up in
the truck bed here real quick and we’re gonna see what the pumps looking like
alright so there’s a pump right there in all its glory you can see it’s beautiful
I know and I’m probably gonna catch a bunch of flack for this but I laid it
down on the pulley because I had no other way to do it because see that one
pipe right there it was corroded as heck up here and it wouldn’t come off so I
had to lay it down like that but I already took the straps off I mean I had
this thing strapped every which way you know every which way I had like five
straight dudes I had all these straps on it right here and more so I strapped it
to the side strapped it over X I didn’t want it to move but yeah it’s laying on
a blanket and make sure you drain all the oil out of it if you’re gonna do it
this way because you don’t want oil on the top of the motor and you really
don’t want to mess on your hands so it’s good to drink it if you could set it up
flat you don’t have to drain the oil but I had to lay it on its side you could
lay you could lay it on the side like that and drain the oil too and you know
put it on the trailer but it’s super sketchy I mean if you strapped it down
really really well you could keep it all together but yeah if you set it flat
down in the bed you don’t have to drain the oil out of it really I mean we did
because I didn’t want to mess on my hands so let’s go take a look at the
motor inside the truck alright y’all ready for this oh let’s go let’s see
what do we got uh oh look at that let’s get us some Sun hold on let’s let
it breathe let it breathe hold on step back for a minute
get us some Sun let it breathe alright this is a five horsepower Dayton
single-phase industrial air compressor duty motor and you can see it’s got the
pulley already on it everything we just took the motor off just unbolted it but
yeah man that thing is a beast Good thing’s a beast I’m gonna get it cleaned
up here and it runs really really good but um let’s see what my hand looks like
up in here yes see how big that thing is man that is a massive motor
I wanted to Baldor seven and a half horsepower motor but they were way too
expensive so I got this and I can upgrade in the future whatever but I’m
happy with this I got a deal on it like I said so some other stuff that came
with it this magnetic starter right here the contactor I think this is a
three-phase one it looked like a three-phase one to me I’m not a hundred
percent sure if I can use that with single-phase 220 y’all let me know in
the comments those that know more than me but I’ll get there when I get there
you can see right here I got the two belts I got the pressure switch over
there and the cover for this I’ll show you all, the pressure switch here hold on you can
see the pressure switch I mean it’s in really good shape on the inside squared
D the best yeah so you got a little bit of air compressor oil there my motors
right there when you’re buying these things it’s a good idea to smell them I
know it sounds silly but I sniff the heck out of this thing
smell up in there smell the wires you want to make sure your smell the front
you want to make sure it doesn’t smell like you know burnt anything burnt windings the
enamels burned off the windings because that would be bad so yeah yeah that’s it
I got some bags and nuts and bolts and I have to come up with a regulator and all
that kind of stuff but yeah it wasn’t too bad go back to the tank here for a
second so yeah yeah it wasn’t too bad at all like I said there’s a million
different ways to do it this is how I feel is the safest and best way you know
just for your average homeowner with no forklift or any of that kind of stuff is
the best easiest way that way you know what condition is in when you buy it or
when you move it then when you put it back together you know it’s going to be
in that exact same condition as long as you don’t drop anything if you strap the
thing up here all put together I mean it might roll it might shift you know
unless you strap it down really well you never really know I mean.
