   I got the new 7.5HP motor installed on the IR compressor today.  The   
   pulley hub for the larger motor shaft and the motor both arrived   
   yesterday.  Wow!  Yeah I think it should have always had a 7.5HP motor   
   on it.  After installation I vented the tank until the motor kicked on,   
   and it filled fast.  Faster than the original motor with the same   
   pulley.  The compressor must have been dragging down the 5HP motors a   
   little bit all along.  I'm still bring the compressor from my dad's shop   
   and setting the two of them up together so I can quickly swap   
   compressors, but this is so much better I no longer feel the urge to   
   hurry.

   Congrats, another problem successfully solved.   
      
   My 80 gallon compressor is in a corner of my crowded shop and needs to be   
   muscled out to work on it. A wider wooden base that lets it slide rather   
   than tip helps a lot. I don't have a pallet jack or room to use one, but if   
   I did a small pallet might be a good base for it.
