Hi,
I hope that none of you run into the problem that I had. I purchased a fairly 
hefty unit from harbor freight, big mistake.
The compressor had no quick disconnect or pressure adjustment. So I purchased 
the fittings and went home to hook up my new toy. In the past I had done a lot 
of plumbing so this was not a particular hard task. When finished I could not 
stop the air leaks.
I called my pipe fitter friend to have him look at it. I was informed that I 
would never have been able to stop the leak. The compressor had one style of 
pipe thread and I was sold another. We went to Lowe's and purchased all new 
fittings and valves. The total cost of these fittings matched the price of the 
compressor. It wasn't worth the aggravation I now had to make another 70 mile 
round trip to return the fittings from harbor freight. I could have purchased a 
similar compressor with all fittings for about the same final price.
Your $35 belt drive now really looks great to me.
After that experience I have not been back in that store.
