Default The $10 compressor

I want to get rid of the $10 compressor I got a couple of weeks ago. You may recall that the motor frame was cracked. I tried to JB weld it and that didn't hold (not terribly surprised) I used a big sliding clamp to hold the pieces together and tried it today. The clamp slipped and the motor stopped.... I have not messed with it since. Fuck it, it's just in the way and I have a smaller (but fully functional) compressor anyhow.

So, this is yours if you want it. I looked up the part, it's $169. Thus if you want a decent sized compressor for $169, you need to order the part and spend 30 min hooking it up. Or, you can try jerry rigging this. At this point, I've had my fun with it and it's taking up valuable garage space.

Please let me know if you want it, and it's yours.

You basically need part #8 in this diagram: http://www.mastertoolrepair.com/0400...f0ccc11509e4de

Steve,
Is the broken part aluminum or steel? Im interested if I can just weld it back together and it'll fit in the front of the trailer. Roughly how large is it?

Steve, I'll take it... Long story short, when I was pulling the trailer out of my garage I caught the compressor with the fender flares and busted the line going to the tank... Maybe I can turn 2 into one
