So 7 months ago I blew the drive coupling on my IR 260
Today, once again I'm pulling apart the compressor to change it out only after 430 hours
Thought I'd pass this along
They tell me it's the cold weather starting
There solution to it not happening again I'd
When starting the compressor, open the air outlet wide open to not let any air build up in the screws then when the compressor starts, slowly close it up to build air
Low RPM's is a killer for the couplings
For the new guys starting out
Ya better learn to do some diesel work if you want to keep the money in your pocket
IR dealer wanted 3000 to replace a $370 part
Don't think so
