That would be a nice one to own! :scooter:

That is kind'a what I want, the ones with an internal compressor as I 'd like to be able to take it places and not be tethered by a hose.

Thanks! I've found a good used long shaft crank and will probably swap them out. I didn't realize when I bought this engine that there were different length shafts. I'll use it on another project and it was only $20.00. :thumbsup:

Agreed.

:thumbsup:!!

"Very Nice" I had one just like that when I was a kid (no story's.....:wink:). But, if I remember right mine was yellow.

I built one several years ago and used a 55 gallon heavy food grade plastic barrel. Cut top off, drilled a 1" hole through both sides (at the top) to suspend parts from, use a 35 amp battery charger and have had great response with "Arm & Hammer" brand clothes washing soap. I use ole sheet metal...

"Good Info.." It seems that you can purchase a smaller version for around $700.00 than there is a b..i..g jump in price! I'm looking at spending around a grand and don't really think I need anything bigger than a 1/4 cut type. I see that some have an internal compressor which seems a bit...

Great idea, is it possible to post a few pics.?

I actually did that today on my back acre! :thumbsup:

Thanks!

"OK" and thanks!

Looking at purchasing a new plasma cutter and looking for recommendations / experiences.

If possible I don't want to crack open this case as it's a really low mileage / hour older engine. Thinking if it comes to that or maybe could do it without taking it apart, I might weld on a piece of shaft to lengthen the one I currently have. I'm pretty sure someone in here has an answer...

I realized that the older Briggs Flat Head 5hp I'm wanting to us has an shorter shaft than most. I was wondering if I need a special clutch set-up to work on this engine? :confused: (can post pic. if needed)
