Crap I used in the video to make this project happen.....
Physical contact tachometer digital: amzn.to/3SXOsg7
Inspection camera for phone: amzn.to/3yCimym
Lettering brushes I use: amzn.to/3EwzFVf
Lettering paint"One-Shot": amzn.to/3SXpltH
Transfer Paper for sign painting: amzn.to/3MtLM7A
After Thoughts about the Video: The pulley on the gas motor is way too small but that can be a good thing as this will put fewer "miles" on the pump. The Quincy pump on this is rated to run 400-1000rpm with the highest also being the fastest cycle/pump up time. I would have swapped the pulley but it appears to be rust welded pretty good. Future me will have to worry about that one.
Quincy 210-1 rated for 400-1000rpm 2.82 to 6.34 CFM at 100psi

![Old Air Compressor Restoration [Part 2 of 2]](/img/1.gif)
Awesome restoration, probably looks better then when it was new, that lettering really gives it class 👍. Your channel should have over a million subscribers, Ginger alone is good for at least 1 million, she is so cute 😍.
Hey thanks. I think it turned out sharp. Ginger should!
Finally someone cleans before starting work.
I am glad to see that you found an employee that wasn't on break to help you..... LOL.
Awesome restoration Moe, the color is sharp and I like the painting stick support trick.
Thanks. They call it a mahl stick and it makes a world of difference.
That Quincy QR25-210 is no joke. Pressure lubed, built to run 24-7, and one of the best. Just the pump retails new for around $2600
I love the Quincy Pumps and my main compressor was built around a QTS-3.
18:34 That wasn't an employee. Yes, looked like a regional manager but that was just a coincidence.
That’s hilarious !!! Lol
Lol
At first I was 'meh' on the color, but after the white lettering and handle you had me sold on the Chrysler blue. Looks great! Love your videos.
Hey thanks. I kept thinking I was going to repaint it but now I think it's fantastic looking.
Good job. Interesting compressor. Nothing stops you. I think that dog may need a raise. Pretty good helper.
Thanks.
I truly did laugh out loud when you checked the points 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Cool how it opens the valves when it gets the pressure up, blue looks ok. Probably go for another 60 years now
It's a pretty neat setup. Thanks
So nice to see old quality made equipment being brought back to life. Great video!
Hey thanks
I love the Quincy products. It’s the standard we use as life support for commercial diving. As solid and reliable as they get.
absolutely
Good OLD stuff! And a flat head Briggs will ALWAYS run eventually if i's not exploded. IF you ever run into a Briggs gas tank with pinholes, get a tube of Seal-all from the Dollar store or hardware or parts place and after cleaning the tank and blowing it out, just squeeze a blob out where the holes are and let it set a while. That's all it takes and a blob will level itself out and that's it. No more leakages. I've used that on several Briggs tanks and nary a drop of ethanol gas has emerged from foresaid cavity. Sorry things are so bad that Ginger had to go work part time but maybe you'll get her employee discount. FINE compressor and it'll come in handy, NO doubt! BLESSINGS, Pal!
Very close to the Quincy blue. Well worth time/effort
That's exactly what I thought after I painted it. The old Quincy blue was nearly spot on to this.
Restoration( successful) always feels that special good
Love these old compressors. I save all the fittings and switches off the ones that get scrapped. Wish my parts boxes were closer to you all....I don't need all that I've saved.
tHanks for the video.
You're awesome
Great video as always! My ignorant neighbors make fun of me for fixing things. Given a lot of mowers away to people in need over the years.
Times used to be different, you would have been made fun of for not repairing stuff 20 years ago..... too much Chinese junk from HFT & folks don't know quality equipment when they actually see..... just cuz it is old, dirty, scratches & a little battered.
@@ranger175a2w so true so true. 😁
Every few years I gauge what people consider "old equipment". It used to be 10-15 years old. Now if something makes it 5 years and breaks people are writing it off as no big deal because it's old and served a good life.
Props for the Home Depot employee comments !!
When you fix the old things the new ones are not needed. Tinkering is the best part of any repair shop. I liked the newer color. I didn't like the original. I was ready to give a compressor to my brother, but for some reason, he couldn't make it work, even though it worked fine for me, and since then he has bought three other NEW ones. I'm still using the old one and it works fine. I added a water filter trap and a new hose and the old one still works like the day I bought it 15 years ago. The real maintenance on a compressor is draining it every day to stop condensation on the bottom from building up and making it rust inside and leaving the valve open until its next use.
Bring 'em back to life if at all possible. If not that scrap steel can be used in other projects. I'll be turning an old worn-out 100 gal. propane tank into a yard roller once I can get the top valve to break free and I am using old bed rails for the tow bar attached to pillow bearings.
*If you have a solution to remove the top of that tank other than cutting it off I would take any advice on that*. I could use a plasma cutting torch, but am trying to avoid destroying it for a future application. For safety, I will fill the tank with water to purge what may be gasses left in there, but the valve has been open for months, so I don't anticipate an issue with residuals.
Hey Thanks. Propane is heavier than air so it will always settle, so storing it upside down will eventually drain it. Those valves can be a bear to unscrew as I think the sealant acts like a loctite. Heating the valve and then twisting them seams to work.
@@sixtyfiveford Thanks, I'll give it a shot.
Have one since the 70's built in 1969. It came with a 3 hp electric. I ran a 7 hp gas on it and used it for drywall texture work for years. I now have a 5 hp electric using it in my work shop. It like you explained it's a continuous run compressor designed for painting cars. I deleted the continuous run system, installed a regulator so it will cycle on and off and have used it in my shop for 35 years. I ran a 4 1/2" pulley on the gas and am currently running a 3 1/4" pully on the electric motor with a 125lbs shut-off. Good job!
Awesome. Gotta love how easy it is to modify old stuff(gas -electric).
Looks great! you can't beat the old iron, things were made to last back then.
Absolutely!
Quincy unloader system will not let the compressor pump without the compressor having oil pressure. That’s why the air circuit is tied into the oil pump. If you lose oil pressure, the oil switch opens and it will unload the same way as it hitting its setpoint pressure. It’s also a semi soft start so when first starting, the compressor free wheels until the oil pressure builds.
The actual unloader on the head puts air pressure on top of a diaphragm that pushes down a piston to hold the spring loaded suction valves open.
I rebuild Quincy comps for breathing air applications. Feel free to ask any questions.
Thanks. I thought it was air pressure holding the valves open but wasn't positive.
Man, do I respect you for your knowledge!
Thanks
Back in the day, a Binks spray gun was a master body man's greatest treasure.
I'm sure this has painted it's fair share of cars.
I had a Bink’s spray gun. They were top dog back in the day
Love all American made tools manufacturing needs to ramp up in this country again!
It never will until robots do 99.99999999% of the work on American soil so they can call it USA made.
A brother ironworker once told me; "you can tell the Joe's by the fingers and the toes". Pretty cool. 28 years of stick, Tig, mig, fluxcore, oxy-acetylene, plasma, carbon-arc, and even a little bit of ND-Yag laser and electron beam, and I can still count to 21 all by myself. It ain't from sitting on the bench or in the bathroom neither.
The blue was the right choice for paint color and the white lettering just pops amazingly.
Great job👍
Hey thanks. I think it turned out sharp looking
When you broke out the Chrysler blue, I was like.... oh yeah, he's going to like that!
I used to paint my 318 & 340 engines that. I like the color!👍
I did not know how that air/oil pressure worked, learned something new today👌 I find those older engines are very reliable & easy to work on, also were often discarded & available, not too many today, at least in my area. Funny HD asking for help, Ginger was more help then what you usually would get LOL
Great restoration!!! Fabricator, Mechanic, Metal Worker, Engineer, Glazier ,Artist and most important good guy & dog lover.
100% in agreement about spark plugs & oil change. I bough a a head for a Ford Escort years back from a junk yard that had plugs in it. It was the first time changing an auto engine head. It started & ran great. I was getting 27 MPG town/hwy driving & I just did not get to changing the plugs.. My brother-in-law had nothing but criticism, "You did not change the plugs???" I would have changed the plugs but with 27mpg, new plugs why? That is what I was getting when the car was new. In my Trash or Treasure series, I do not change the oil unless/until I get them started.
It goes without say, another big 👍
Stay well, Joe Z
I stopped buying plugs for small engines almost 15 years ago and have only come across 1 that was cracked and needed a swap for a different old plug (I had a used one for it laying around). My savings has to be in the $1000s by now. Most of that are pushing $4-5 a plug now. For cars I only swap if they are hard to reach and or Platinum/ iridium as you can't see the condition of the electrode. I actually started putting only copper plugs in my cars as you can clean them whenever and also see the condition instantly by looking at them. I find a get better gas mileage with the copper plugs and being cleaned occasionally versus putting in 100,000 mi Platinum and never touching it.
Love the colors, and vintage look.
That blue and white reminds me of vintage ford tractors from the same era. That's a great collection of vintage American tools you've got there, I've noticed here in the UK in recent years more and more people are recognising the value in old tools and machinery and that is being reflected in the prices and they aren't ending back up on the market so my guess is most of the people who are buying them are buying them fixing them up and using them or using them for spares. Nice bit of sign writing btw!!
My take on people scooping up and using vintage tools is that new tool prices have risen a lot... and when you couple that with the quality of brand new tools being in the poor quality range, it makes sense to put some time, effort and a little bit of money into the vintage tools. Especially so when you consider their continued durability. Peace & good vibes! 👍🏻👨🏻🏭🇺🇸

I see that rust-oleum makes Machine green. I've never seen it in stores though.
This is awesome! Love the Mopar blue, and that final touch with logo painting was fantastic my guy! Keep it up love watching the videos and seeing all the cool old treasures you find to fix.
Hey thanks.
Again - stellar vidjayo!!! Keep digging up the “aged” and repairable stuff - love it !!
Hey thanks
Great restoration the compressor looks brand new..you should get many years of service..i have to say you are one hell of a painter as far as lettering goes..i see ginger enjoys making videos with you she's a great and smart dog..see you on the next one Cheers friend 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks Rodney. Ginger is a good sport.
You know it's a damn shame that Binks will never have kids.....It was sitting on it's petcock for just a little too long...JaJa!!! Another awesome rebuild, sir. I have an old Montgomery Ward table saw I intend to rebuild. Watching your channel is really inspiring. I too have looked for that metallic green used on many shop machines and tools and didn't have any luck also. Pontiac metallic blue is in the same family but too blue. Rustoleum markets their "Hammered" enamel in "vert de gris" and also silver in quarts. A mix of the two might be close. Anyway, thanks for the awesome content. It's addictive!!!
Lol.
I try and buy up all the old spray paints I find and sometimes have access to colors no longer produced. A few years back I spent nearly a week looking everywhere for some of these older colors and came up empty handed. I actually went to the stores looking for the Rustoleum Hammerite green with not luck.
26:09 Quality control. Measuring the percentage of moisture.
I agree. Ginger stole the show. Seeing her puppy sit in Lowes warmed my heart. And your compressor video was impressive too. But painting that thing in Dodge blue was a mistake. Probably will throw a rod before the first tank of gas goes through it. lol.
Contact tachometer. This is the exact one I have: amzn.to/3SXOsg7
Love it. I also love the display of the collection at the end.
Hey Thanks.
Great little restoration, I love doing the same thing, but to good old British stuff, as I'm over in the UK. The old stuff is so well made and actually has character.
That shade of blue reminds me of Quincy's OEM color. Nice job!
I was thinking the same thing after I painted it. I actually had to Google it and notice that they changed to way darker blue now.
I like your videos, love your dog, and admire your amazing lettering skills.
We had the same compressor at the work had an electric motor, used for construction crews for nail guns.
I love that you do these types of videos. RUclips is filled with restoration videos. Sometimes you just need to get a quality tool working!
Hey Thanks.
Nice recovery on this one, Moe. You are an artist as well as a special tech.
Thanks. This was a fun one and definitely fun to sit back and gaze at.
It came right back around, looks good
It's fun to gaze at in my shop.
I love this old stuff looks nice
Very cool, I like these tool/equipment restoration videos.
Cool, thanks
This is not only refurbishment, this is mechanical-art! Really nice and sweet! Thanks for your video 💪💪👍👍👍
Thanks
Love that ginger. I’m looking for one to rescue now
Thanks for another great video, full of information and surprises! Give Ginger a treat from me.
Thanks, it was a fun project.
that big pulley/drive wheel would make a really cool moped wheel
Old analog gauges are the best, I hope they make a comeback! I like the blue, but that pea green would've been cool.
Absolutely love your videos and rebuilding, restoring, repainted beautiful pieces of Art
Hey Thanks. It's been fun to have in the shop just to look at.
It’s definitely sharp looting! I was surprised by the Chrysler blue 🤣
I figured if it didn't look good, the blue would make a great primer/base coat.
No blue.😆 Nice job 👍
Agree that blue doesn't look to bad.
It turned out better than I thought.
It looks great, good choice of color. They made things to last back in the day.
I liked this video air comp. resto. I'm motivated more to build my own 30 gal. portable air comp. for myself! Thanks! Paul from S. Central Tx.
Hey Thanks.
Looks awesome.
Thanks
Thank you for checking the inside of the tank and mentioning not welding on air tank! There's an amazing amount of people who have zero clue that the old rusty tank on their air compressor is shaping up to be a bomb one day. Just got done rescuing an older 26gal CH (maybe the last real US made model?) and now on to an '86 Toro riding mower. This week I'm finishing up a full carbon clutch disc for it. Very unusual clutch/transmission as there are no parts or even aftermarket replacements for an actual friction plate clutch system for a riding mower (if it fails, the closest thing I found were 9" tractor disc brake liner kits). Probably overkill, but it's what I know how to do, and it'll be the last clutch disc it will ever need. 😁
Sounds like a fun project.
I love how you go the extra mile to repaint your old stuff to make it look new. If only more people would re-use instead of throwing stuff out
Hey thanks.
We’ll done as usual, Moe! ☺️ I’ve said it before, but Ginger is SO happy she’s your owner. 😂
She treats me well.
I've owned many of those small Quincy single stage compressors over the years. They will run forever. The only thing I ahve ever seen go wrong with these is, if they have been run continuously for years and years the valves and the head will get coked up. A quick cleaning is all it takes to get them going again for another half century or more. I have two of those Lo-Boys right now, both are electric (and green). One has a 1HP motor and the other 1 1/2. What broke off the bottom of the tank was not a foot but rather a little wheel. The foot's just as good I guess. You did a nice job with this one and it should last you a long time.
Can't go wrong with a Quincy. My main 60gal shop compressor is a Quincy I cobbled together.
Excellent, I love the old American made stuff 😀👏
Me too!
Im confused how how does this video only have 58k views I've watched it 4 times since its release?
That is a Nice compressor pump Good old B & S engine now we need an old mini bike frame
Heck Yeah.
Solid compressor, great job.
Thanks
Great job Moe, looks and works like new.
Thanks
This video was fun. Thanks a lot.
Thanks Bruce
A dang good looking and reliable compressor. I have a Speedair I bought new back in the 90's that I still use on a regular basis, and it's a similar green color that compressor looks like it was originally. You cracked me up with the "Only the idiots died back then" statement.
Thanks. Speedair made some great compressors.
I love these videos I welded a tank I never trusted it I still have it because the pump is good but any time I used it it was outside around the corner with a wall between me an it ! Have a newer one now worth the piece of mind
Yeah, it gets nerve racking. You can always water pressure test them with a pressure washer. Push them to 1.5x operating pressure and if they pass you're good.
Got to put racing stripes on it to make it look fast and add some chrome wheels also LMAO good job
Great work yet once again. The solid old stuff is getting more important all the time.
Absolutely!
That came out fantastic! Well done.
Thank you very much!
Looks way cooler now
Awesome stuff Moe! Good choice on the blue with white accents.
Hey Thanks. It turned out better than I thought.
Just got to the store segment. When i go i end up stocking the item after climbing shelves!
Second video of yours I've watched, both were great. I have a compressor like that one, I was thinking of just scrapping it but this video makes me rethink it. I am now a subscriber.
Awesome
That's a sweet old compressor! Nice vintage collection you have there.
Thanks. This was a fun project
NICE FIX !!!!!!!! LOVE YOUR DOG ~~~~~~~~~~
Thank you!
Nice restoration, that engine is off a snowblower because it has the auxiliary shaft to drive the wheels.
This particular engine would be from a tiller. The snowblower versions would have different sheet metal for cold weather operation.
Gorgeous Job actually have one of them with an electric motor !! Thanks for sharing
Hey thanks. They're nice and quiet with electric.
@@sixtyfiveford yes have had it for years I also have a speedair that's gas well built unlike the garbage you buy today
your reaction to the big box stores is priceless sir and they are my sentiment's exactly nicely done
Just poking fun.
I love how you just repair something so it’s presentable and useable.
I was brought up with the villiers engines and then the legendary Honda gx engines.
We had some briggs and Stratton engines but parts were few and far between here in UK.
Great job 65!
Thanks.
What a gem. I've been wanting to convert a compressor I have to gas, just for the fun of it.
I like those carbs with the plunger chokes. I have one on an old generator. You lucked out having a Quincy. Accessible repair kits. I am trying to find a kit for a Kargard.
Great job, Moe 👍🏻
Thanks! 👍
Beautiful, ready for a second lifetime.
Thanks
Oh I'm so trying the air hose with my dog!
Renaissance. Thank you
Thanks.
Need that for my garage now that it’s Chrysler blue
I always find your videos informative and entertaining. This one was great. Loved the Home Depot and Lowes employee bit. Especially enjoyed your caution sign safety tip.
By the way i bought an old AC welder that needs repair. Your video inspired me. Now just have to repair it. It is a Miller Thunderbolt 225. I had no idea that they were so heavy. It came with ground and welding cables. I paid $50 Canadian about $36 American. The out side of the welder seems OK for its age but the shunt block that controls the amperage is seized. Have you worked on one of these? Any works of wisdom? if it doesn't work out I think I probably can recoup my investment in scrap.
Can't go wrong for that price. I haven't worked directly with that welder. The cables and cords are always worth it and resale easily for top dollar so don't scrap those.
You are a real Jack of all trades
Thanks
Keeping an eye out for something like this. I have a small sandblasting cabinet in a shed that isn't near any 220v.
Nice work Moe.
Thanks Jason.
Many of the greatest machines in the world are painted Chrysler Blue. It's a fitting finish to a cool project 👍
I think it looks really nice.
My Dad had one of those Banks gasoline air compressor, and a 2 gal.Binks paint pot with the Binks spray gun, it has, I think a 7 1/2 hp Briggs. It's really nice if you're painting something big.
Awesome
Moe man you always make things like new again almost. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Charles
Great resto.
Hey Thanks.
