Finished wiring the Big Ass compressor this morning and cranked it up. Sounds great and pumped up to 175 pounds. This baby ought to blow the drawers of anything. Now I have to pipe it and install an in line dryer to take the moisture out of the air. This is a USA made compressor and it sure shows.
Next I pulled the driveline out of the F1 and got all the rest of the motor and transmission bolts out and unhooked the clutch linkage. Hooked the web straps around them both and rolled the gantry crane over and hooked up the chain hoist. Nancy came out and helped me work it up out of the frame. Tried to set it down on the cart I had made for it and had to pull it back up and do some modifications to the cart. My jigsaw fixed that and then set it back in place on the stand. I'll roll it over in the corner some where out of the way till I figure out what to do with it.
The rear end will be the next thing to come out and then the rear suspension which is all rivited in. A lot of grinding and drilling to do there.
The frame is sure starting to look bare.
