I have one of these compressors very similar but in a 20 gallon horizontal settup. It was in the shed for years and now i'm taking it out to use it. I plugged it in and it started right up. Then i brought to a friend's house to borrow and in the process the compressor fell on its side and oil leaked out the back breather vent? next to the pulley. There's oil in there now and everytime the compressor shuts off, that port leaks air. I have no idea how to put oil in or change oil. help.
ihave the same compressor with a 2hp doerr motor...11gallon lower ctm ratings...$80 on craigs...was wondering if you ever changed the pumps internal air filter.....
@jkvv2006 Hi, No unfortunately not, Mine never came with one. Its an overall good unit if you don't expect to much from it. I am in the middle of switching out this entire unit with a Quincy QR 325 5HP 80 gallon vertical 2 stage. I have these videos on my channel if your interested. Thanks for the comment.
I guess I will just have to wait and see what my friend comes up with a model #. As I have learned in the past, sometimes even if its free its not worth it. The more I think about it and looking in my Quincy QR-25 series literature, it could be a 350, 370, or 390. The weights range from 480-660 lbs.
I think he said there was another smaller Quincy unit as well. I need to call him and see if I can go take a peak.
Scott,to answer a few questions.The Quincy QR-25 series min rpm 400 max 900 with the exception of the model 370-1070rpm max & model #5120-1040 rpm max. The model #230 is a single stage compressor. My comp is running @850 rpm.I hate to tell you this but 7.5 hp cc comp would probably be a 10 hp model #350 or worse yet model # 370 or 390. most cc comps are duplex units-2 pumps on one tank always useing a smaller motor than the pump is called for running around 400 rpm for low oil carry over
Awesome! Most climate controll packages are a 5 HP running slower than normal useing a 3 HP motor let me know if you need pully and belt size for 5 HP units I got the info if you neen it good find my friend!
@rotarycomptech I was told that these two units being retired from a climate control system are a 7.5hp on a horizontal tank. I'm actually only interested in the pump. I don't really have the space for a horizontal tank, so I am considering a standard 80 vertical or a 120 short. Just need a couple of extra muscles to get the bad boy up there. I have asked the friend of mine that told me about them to get me the pump model so I can see if it will work for me. I hope its a 230 or a 325.
@rotarycomptech I've been told that they are a 7.5hp units so I hope to run it with a 5hp at a slower rpm. I have asked the friend of mine that told me about these to find out the model #s. My only fear is that they are possibly a single stage unit. I hope that they are a 230 or a 325. I plan to buy a new 80 gallon vertical or a 120 short vertical tank and use an existing GE 5hp 23 amp, 230 volt TEFC motor. What is the pump rpm that you are running on your 325 in the video?
@rotarycomptech I spoke with the friend of mine that maintains the Quincy compressors that are going to be scrapped in 2012. He said the one I want is a 7.5hp simplex unit that was installed in the late 1990's and has the least amount of hours on it. He is going to get me the model number so I can see what it actually is. if its a #340 Do you see any reason why I can't mount the pump on 80 gallon vertical or 120 short vertical tank besides the manpower of getting it up there?
Scott, unfortunately you have what is known as in the compressed air feild as a cheater 5.A true 5 HP piston type air compressor should delever 18-20 ACFM @100 PSIG and pull around 23 to 26 amps @240 volt single phase. you may consider looking into a champion recip compressor it's cheeper than a quincy and from what I've seen they seam to hold up and the valves are easy to replace. Good luck!
@rotarycomptech Yah...unfortunately when this compressor was bought it was for the occasional impact wrench or air ratchet use on a small dairy we had.I didn't think ten years later i would be doing woodworking or for that mater using an air orbital sander neither. I've been doing a LOT of research on new true 5HP 80 gallon 2 stage units. If this unit can hold up until the spring of 2012, I might be able to get my hands on a Quincy unit being retired from climate control, i just need the specs.

It would take a beefy tank to support that mass
