A word of caution on your Husky compressor. I have purchased 2 of them from craigs list just for the tank. In each case the compressor was seized due to lack of oil. In each case the seller did a giant head slap and said.. "it's my fault, I should have checked it."
Apparently, in each case, the compressor managed to pump oil rather than contain it, to the point it ran out of oil and seized. Both tanks had a large quanity of oil from the compressors.. 60 gallon tanks.. 5 HP, 220 motors. I bought the tanks to make gas engine driven compressors to use at the Ranch, with new compressors. So, takeaway is.. check the oil in compressor way more often.. Word to the wise.
