Toad Blog: Need Advice on Replacing Air Compressor Tank

Hi,

I recently acquired an old air compressor because a hole rusted through the tank and spewed nasty rust-water everywhere.

Model: Grainger Speedaire 4B214

I've never rebuilt anything like this before, so any help would be great. The motor (although loud) seems to work fine. I'm planning on purchasing a new tank and fitting everything back together.

I've taken the motor off of the tank, but I'm having issues removing the part that has the gauge and power switch. I also cannot unscrew another "valve". The copper pipe appears slightly bend...not sure if that needs to be replaced or not.

Here are some pictures that I took:

*Any ideas on a good place to order parts?

*What parts do I need?

*How can I remove the parts that are possibly glued (that I can't unscrew)?

Thanks!
