My trusty but small 25g Craftsman compressor has a tank issue I’ve decided not to resolve. The drain pipe rotted, and when I went to ez-out it (in retrospect, my 1st mistake), the big bushing it screws into in the bottom of the tank broke, but the threaded ring part of it stayed in the tank. I tried heating it and chiseling it out, but it is not budging. I’m not looking to mess with it much more, so I am planning on upgrading big time (80g). I have decided being able to sandblast is a nifty thing – in fact there are a bunch of parts for the 77 in my cabinet right now. And I want to learn to paint.

Anyone need a compressor? Runs fine, needs a tank – cheap!

I was parked in the shade (concrete parking deck). I agree, it has been worse. The grass is still growing. But it was not a picnic either.
