Hello. This is the compressor I use for inflating the tires and also for an impact wrench when working on my tractors. So that makes it a tractor related subject. It is a 1938 year model Curtis 2 cylinder two stage unit, one year older than me. I mounted it on a slightly used 60 gallon tank set up when I bought it in the early 1970's as it was originally on a riveted tank. I replaced the cylinder head gasket, cleaned the valves and installed an oil bath air cleaner before mounting it on the tank. It has worked fine ever since. Last week the pressure switch contacts welded together and obviously the safety pop off valve didn't open. It reached almost 200 PSI. Last Thursday night I heard the compressor running too long from outside the building and went in and threw the breaker to shut it down then just left it all night. The breaker is in the office part of my shop and the compressor is in the main shop part of the building The next day when I replaced the switch and started it up, to check for other problems I heard air leaking from the tank. After looking carefully I discovered a leak at one of the seams so I shut it down and disconnected the wire from the fuse box. The tank is ruined and I would like to just replace the tank and continue using the compressor as it still works fine. Where can one buy just a 30-40 gallon tank set up and not the whole compressor unit.
