Harbor Freight "McGraw" DIY Compressor Repair

My old compressor pump locked up. So I upgraded the pump and motor for less than the cost of a used compressor. It was important to me to get a pump with its own oil, not a pancake pump. I went with a Harbor Freight/McGraw 3.7 HP pump and a 5 HP SPL Vevor motor. The offset in power was done purposely, by design.

Friend as a plumber thought the spring method was only for soft metals 😅 I’m young this is still before my time

[@ffsdirtbike]

I didn't know that method is used in plumbing. It makes sense though. Yes it's also used on steel automotive brake lines, not soft material.

So I’m not the only one that does most of my work on the floor of my garage!

I have seen a lot of compressor with blown start capacitors because of running of extension cord and generators . 😮

[@solo6965]

what cause the compressor pump locked up?

[@ffsdirtbike]

I’d guess it’s age. I never opened it up to find out what happened . I does still spin with a lot of effort. The person I purchased that compressor from was doing body work. So it worked hard for a long time.
