    IR T30 Compressor?

    Does your water-cooled air compressor have its own water pump/circulator? Does your compressor have any safety valves? Where are the safety valves located? How can one tell if the tank is rusting from the inside? Your compressor sure looks like a heavy duty cycle unit. Thanks for sharing.

    IR T30 Compressor?

    Okay, I will back off the adjustment to about 125 psi for now. That is correct, a drain ball valve on the bottom of tank. I will research for a supplier locally for a safety valve for this compressor. I will carry a picture of the air cleaner elbow for identification, perhaps. Thanks

    Clark forklift oil change?

    This may seem to be a very elementary question, but where is the oil drain plug located on this machine. Yes, I suppose it is on the oil pan somewhere. How does one get to it?
