I doubt this is a true 7 HP compressor or motor, unless the owner replaced components. Today, compressor motors usually go from 5 HP to 7.5 HP with no sizes between. 3.5 HP sounds more inline with those CFM. At any rate that still sounds like a good buy.


abisel, I have the same IR compressor. It is a very nice compressor for the money. It does generate a good bit of heat during hard use, though, so I'm thinking about an upgrade to rotary screw. You can get good buys on low hour units from shops that go out of business.
