Title: Westy WD10 rust-bucket rebuild
Post by: johnieG on August 14, 2020, 07:12:34 pm
Got this sad little rusted out Westinghouse WD-10 in the shop for a compressor replacement, but needless to say it was in bad BAD condition ( this is why you don't let your machine sit in a 6" puddle of water)

Basically the compressor fell out when the gentleman unloaded it from his trailer  :wow:, The machine has sentimental value to the 'Gent so he said do what you can... I had to fabricate a support railing even just to install the cooling deck back into the machine,   so just a quick show and tell of the repair,  yes he knows he could have bought another cooler for less than he repaired this on for & ended up with a more solid machine, but like I said earlier, it has sentimental value, So it's back up & running with a new compressor & at least it can roll around the garage without leaving a trail of parts in its wake.   Rusty machines need luv too...  :biggrin:

Saved another one!
The cooler's appearance does not match the compressor compartment!
