Great find ! Had a friend that was going to throw out a big angle grinder because it stopped working so I took it in case I needed parts. He said that it had just stopped working while using it and thought it was worn out. Some of the Makitas had a circuit breaker so I checked and it was tripped. Reset it and it run fine, so I tried to give it back to him. He said keep it, if I'm too dumb to check that then I don't deserve it ! I found out later why it had tripped, he would put his whole body weight on it and overload it ! Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍
I got my compressor free with the same problem, one $12 start capacitor later and it works like a champ! Recently had my A/C go out too, got one the next morning for $43 and it's working great.
I picked up a string trimmer recently from the side of the road and thought of you. It started on the second pull. The clutch is stuck or something because the motor works fine, but the head doesn't want to spin.
I have one only used very little also that quit working I will be checking it out for that problem, you're pup has a nice set of choppers .thanks for the video.
I know im asking the wrong place but does someone know of a trick to log back into an instagram account?? I stupidly lost the login password. I would love any tricks you can offer me.
@Luis Cayden I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im in the hacking process now. Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
It's always fun to solve puzzles. I've seen capacitors leak oil when they go bad or look perfectly normal. I've also seen bearing failure contribute to motors blowing windings. Nothing smells worse than a blown motor. Three phase is the way to go. No start windings or capacitors, just three run windings. You make good videos my friend. Thank you and God Bless...
As an hvac/r tech I have to say that you're spot on with heat as the culprit for that capacitor failing. Heat is their number one killer. In the summer time when the weather reaches its peak, thats when we get the majority of our no cooling calls from failed caps. P.S. I love your videos man. Keep the awesome content coming!
Nice! Funny coincidence! I just diagnosed a Harbor Freight 6 gal pancake compressor. Paid $17 at their Parking Lot Sale 5 year ago. Wouldn't shut off except for the emergency release valve. The pressure switch was corroded. Waiting on Amazon for a new one. I'm downgrading it from 150 psi to 120 . I don't need the pressure! 🤣
I did a voltage drop test and my 120v dropped to around 100v with 25ft 14awg cord. that means the 13amps it was requiring to run at 120v now jump up to 15-16 amps at the 100v. That's a ton more heat into the windings and capacitor.
Funny you mention about the circuit breaker. I had someone give away for FREE 2 Central Pneumatic compressors, one had a burned out circuit breaker, the other leaked air through the gauge. Two easy fixes. Great video.
I came across a harbor freight 21 gallon oil drive compressor in the trash yesterday. I took it home thinking it was probably seized up. To my surprise it was just the reset breaker. I've let it pumped up several times and it works. Some people give up to easy and through out good or very easily repaired stuff.
@@sixtyfiveford heck yeah, I'm not ashamed to take things from the trash if I can use them. I used to work as the installer for a truck accessory shop. The owner would throw everything away. Nuts, bolts, fuel tanks, bed liners, used factory parts the customer didn't want and so on. He made fun of me for taking this stuff out of the dumpster. I used a lot of it and made money selling the rest. Good video as always!
The biggest score I've seen is a heirloom quality grandfather clock that someone curbed; it was immaculate and put out with all its papers and weights nicely packed. the chains were just tangled up some in the mechanism and required a bit of detangling before it was perfectly operational. I wondered if it was just intended as an anonymous gift or if someone just didn't want it any more.
Man, I just hit the reset button when my air compressor would not start and it started right up. I didn't have to break down the compressor. thank GOD.
Fantastic score, that's smashing and it cost almost nothing to repair it :-D. I know what you mean about phasing, i have a wolf bench grinder that was thrown away because the capacitor exploded, oil and guts went everywhere lol. I used two capacitors to fix it, run and start phase. They didnt fit inside so i strapped them to the back of the grinder like divers air bottles lol. A good old wolf bench grinder :-D.
My brother had MUCH smaller capacitors that he would charge up, then toss to his buddies. They learned real quick not to catch anything he threw at them 😂
Nice work, again. Wish I lived next door to you, lol. I have a big compressor I bought for $40 last summer and I didn't even try it yet. Buried in my garage, and I need to at least plug it in and check it out. I have another the condensation bleed valve was broken off and it hasn't been drained in 12 years, did one roof and it was new, but it scares me now.
you can also diagnose a start capacitor issue by manually turning the motor CAREFULLY as you hit the switch. If the motor get's going, it's a start cap issue. it's also common for the wires going to the start cap to break from vibration
Haha thanks I got one for free when i turn it on it clicked so I popped off the engine cover the fan was very hard to spin seized up almost so by hand a couple spins it’s like normal then plugged it in fired up
I fix small motors all the time. Especially generators. But I have one where it was plugged into live mains and it messed up the electrical parts. I’m good fixing the engines not so much on the generator side. Can you do a video on how to fix a bad electrical side of a generator?
Same motor/compressor as on my Horrible Fright 20 gal compressor. Dang Dewalt! Have some pride, wouldja. Love the cloud of dust when you started it up.
I have a comp. that got the tank intake valve snapped off. Any idea where or how that part can be found? I tried Porter Cable -no luck. (ed.) missed the Nat. Lampoon reference,
I have major respect for your scrounging abilities!!! I'm always "looking" for free stuff that may come in handy someday-much to my wife's chagrin!!! One man's trash is another's treasure and all that. But I gotta ask, do you have any pointers for this amateur scrounger??? Always looking to up my game and thought why not ask the master!!!??? Where do you find your treasures? Why can't I find great stuff like you do ALL the time??? Thanks for your vids! Always informative and entertaining.
I don't mind paying people for their broken stuff as I generally get a higher caliber of item vs completely free. Grabbing free stuff is a fast pace business. I did it exclusively for a year and made a lot of money but you have to drop everything you are doing and drive 45 minutes away to get it. Paying a meaningless $25, 50 etc amount for a valuable tool gives you time to go get it. The sellers aren't always bombarded with texts/calls and are willing to hold it for hours or days. Asking them about other old stuff while your there will sometimes ad a few free or cheap items to your haul. I like to deep search classifieds for people who don't write great descriptions. These people generally just want something gone and may just write "broken tools" , "old tools" or even "doesn't work" etc as their listing title. This could be anything. This compressor was kind of an odd ball. I bought a small Drill Press for $25 from this lady and noticed she also had an ad for a free non working compressor (she said that was taken). When I showed up to buy the drill press I noticed the compressor was still there. I asked her about it and she was holding for someone. I made the joking comment that classified people are the worst and never show up, even if it's free. The next day she call me to come get it as the other guy was giving her the run around.
I've had it for a number of years now and it doesn't let me down. Some of the drawers have to have a 5+ thousand open close cycles on them by now. I've had Harbor Freight ones, old Snap On, old MAC Tools, old and new Craftsman, new Chinese no name and this Husky has been my favorite so far.
What setting do you put on the ohm tester? Nobody ever tells what setting to set the ohm tester on! Many different settings on the dial each for a different situation
According to Temco Industrial power supply. Your mileage may vary. Voltage Select a capacitor with a voltage rating at or above the original capacitor. If you're using a 370 volt capacitor, a 370 or 440 volt capacitor will work. The 440 volt unit will actually last longer. A capacitor will have a marked voltage indicating peak voltage acceptable - not operational voltage. Can I use a capacitor with a higher rated voltage than the original one? Yes. You can use a capacitor with an equal or higher rated voltage than the original, but you cannot use a capacitor with a voltage rating that is lower than the one you are replacing.
The voltage rating on a run capacitor is based on the back EMF the secondary winding will experience. This is why the ratings don't match line voltages. It is to ensure the "plates" in the capacitor don't arc. A higher voltage rating is okay as it will just be more resistant. A lower rating will likely fail quicker, especially if the motor is allowed to run without a load, which is when the back EMF is highest.
Technically on these small motors, the capacitor is a Run capacitor that supplies a phase shift for running and slight aid in starting. If the unloader valve is sticking and not releasing the air pressure off the compressor piston the motor is forced to start under load. This will kill a capacitor really fast. If working properly the motor should be able to start with no load at all.
Capacitors that start a motor are used to boost the power to start unit. Run capacitors are used to keep the unit running evenly whether under a load or without. The eccentric switch that sits on the motor shift just switches from the start windings to the run windings once it gets to a certain speed. Always always always discharge before testing and yes you need to have similar sizes because I could have the same rating for a capacitor on a circuit board as I do in a compressor and no the board capacitor will not run the compressor. Its similar to a home owners pressure washer with the same psi rating as an industrial pressure washer. The difference being the gpm on the industrial is a good bit larger than the consumer model. Capacitors are similar in that they can give it but the amount can't be or isn't sustained in a smaller unit. Volume/size does matter! LOL TOOL DOCTOR
voltage rating of the replacement capacitor needs to be at least as high as the original spec, higher is okay. capacitance rating should match the original.
I have a campbell hausfeld 20 gallon air compressor model Hu502000 need piston and sleeve can find anywhere discontuid I was thinking about changing pump to a pump that looks just like that pump Emglo 1.5 to 2 hp do you think it would work or any suggestions thanks
Yeah that's a tricky one. Generally these oilless compressors have to have the motor and compressor unit all changed out as one unit. I'm pretty sure Campbell hausfeld made all of the ones for Craftsman so you may be able to utilize that avenue to find a new sleeve/piston. But even if you did it would likely cost well over what the units worth. If you're handy with a welder or even just nuts and bolts I would probably change it out for one of these old horizontal tank compressors you find all over classifieds. The ones with the separate motor and a pulley and a oil filled pump. I see those things pop up all the time for around 50 bucks and they last forever. They're downfall is the tanks usually rust out.
Compressors like this have a distinct operating temperature range. The oil can get too thick, and the starting current draw is 5/6x normal draw anyway. Fresh oil often does the trick!
I have a Bostitch 6gal pan cake compressor that always worked perfectly and after being stored away over last Winter, it will not build past 20 PSI and there is no air leaks anywhere on it, would it be the regulator possibly?
Carbon or debris are holding the reed valves open. This generally requires removing the cylinder head. Sometimes just cycling it a few times can dislodge them and they'll work normally.
Seems like my issue on a machine that ive literally used just once :( where do you buy the capacitor/starter motors from? like amazon n stuff or hardware stores?
Hey good morning brother I was just looking at your video I need a compositor just like the one you have for your DeWalt can you send me the part number and where you bought it from
so you tested the capacitor, ??? was it with a meter that measures microfarads or did it measure a dead short on the ohms scale. You did not say. I have to assume the starting capacitor was 0 ohms or a dead short which would cause the circuit breaker to trip.
The capacitance meter is what I used to measure the capacitor. A ohms reading is never accurate when testing capacitors. The Circuit Breaker trips because there is no help from the capacitor to start the motor.

I set one of those POS compressors on the curb Friday evening. Was gone by morning. I've got a Porter Cable pancake now. Much more reliable.
It's nice to have something reliable.
I picked up a string trimmer recently from the side of the road and thought of you. It started on the second pull. The clutch is stuck or something because the motor works fine, but the head doesn't want to spin.
Great job man you never cease to amaze me. Zip tye to the crummy housing and make it do something other than stop dust is a solid move.
Pickled up a free compressor that had a sign "Doesn't run". I plugged it in and it ran. Before plugging it in I did flip the switch on it a few times.
That's a win.

In my experience running these compressors on too light of extention cord dramatically shortens the capacitors life.
I did a voltage drop test and my 120v dropped to around 100v with 25ft 14awg cord. that means the 13amps it was requiring to run at 120v now jump up to 15-16 amps at the 100v. That's a ton more heat into the windings and capacitor.

you can also diagnose a start capacitor issue by manually turning the motor CAREFULLY as you hit the switch. If the motor get's going, it's a start cap issue.

Thanks I replace my loud original compresor motor for a fridge compressor
Yeah, those are quiet for sure.
Thanks Moe. Always interesting. i just had a compressor come in seized and put the compressor from it into my hoard.
Did the same repair to my roadside compressor find. Worked for an hour before the start capacitor melted. Thoughts on why it melted immediately?
Technically on these small motors, the capacitor is a Run capacitor that supplies a phase shift for running and slight aid in starting. If the unloader valve is sticking and not releasing the air pressure off the compressor piston the motor is forced to start under load. This will kill a capacitor really fast.

Hello friend.
I would like to know if it is normal for the part where the piston goes above the oil hole to overheat?
Yes, it will get very warm and even hot with extended running.
👍🏼
My DeWalt like this makes a squeeling noise wonder what's wrong goes away when warm
Compressors like this have a distinct operating temperature range. The oil can get too thick, and the starting current draw is 5/6x normal draw anyway. Fresh oil often does the trick!
Really? Could that be the problem only after it runs a little bit? Mine wont start or turn at all.
Do you know of any permanent fixes for the harbor freight 21 gallon cold start valve?
Have you tried oiling it so it falls back down and doesn't stick?
I have a Bostitch 6gal pan cake compressor that always worked perfectly and after being stored away over last Winter, it will not build past 20 PSI and there is no air leaks anywhere on it, would it be the regulator possibly?
Carbon or debris are holding the reed valves open. This generally requires removing the cylinder head. Sometimes just cycling it a few times can dislodge them and they'll work normally.
I have a Dewalt Compressor just like that.
It looks like a great unit.
Can you say please
I have same compressor. When I turn on it tripping 15A breaker but if 20A breaker it work well.
What’s wrong?
Doesn't sound like anything is wrong. These need a LOT of power to start up. 15amp may only work without any extension cord.
Which Amazon part did you end up picking up?
Sorry for the delayed response. I used this one amzn.to/2SkaEU5
Seems like my issue on a machine that ive literally used just once :( where do you buy the capacitor/starter motors from? like amazon n stuff or hardware stores?
Amazon or eBay are your best bet.
@@sixtyfiveford sure, thnx ;)
Hey good morning brother I was just looking at your video I need a compositor just like the one you have for your DeWalt can you send me the part number and where you bought it from
Capacitor I used: amzn.to/2SkaEU5
so you tested the capacitor, ??? was it with a meter that measures microfarads or did it measure a dead short on the ohms scale. You did not say. I have to assume the starting capacitor was 0 ohms or a dead short which would cause the circuit breaker to trip.
The capacitance meter is what I used to measure the capacitor. A ohms reading is never accurate when testing capacitors. The Circuit Breaker trips because there is no help from the capacitor to start the motor.
Knarly pup, there, 65. Love the videos. Give him a scratch on his ears for me!
weird looking U ie Greek Mu ie like it should be? lol
The U is just an approximation of the Mu (μ),
whatever, your videos are always great, Thank you
Cool dog. What kind of dog is that and how old is it?
Ginger is a Red Healer; also known as an Australian cattle dog and is 5.
Mine won't start when it's left outside and really cold (around freezing temps). If I take it indoors for an hour it will start up.?
Too thick of oil for winter whether.
Nice! I never find good non-functioning things like that.
