The guys across the highway have a trailer mounted Smith compressor that has a 302 Ford that runs on 4 and pumps on 4. Has been out in a field with no faring so probably needs major work on the engine. The receiver tank, piping, compressor head on engine, and other bits and pieces are probably good. Could maybe be bought for near scrap price. I had a 1000g propane tank at my old shop with a hose hook up to my 600cfm International diesel powered sand blasting compressor. Took only a few minutes to bring the big tank up to 120psi. At the present shop I have a 4cyl John Deere diesel compressor with one outlet valve for a Milton air fitting where a hose can be run into the shop if air use is extremely high. Has a decal on it saying it is limited to 180cfm by OSHA standards. The noise level would be unsafe, according to Big Gov, if speed was increased for more cfm.
