Up until this year it was my air compressor, 1945 WW2 surplus. 160gal lie down tank. Date is stamped on the tank and labeled on the head, made in Canada.
I've had it since the mid eighties, positive the 5hp motor had been replaced, but it was the original head and tank. Last summer it started banging and before I could hit the breaker it tossed a rod. I replaced the head ($500) with a Rollair.
So now all that is left is the tank, I thought about replacing the whole deal but the tank is in the loft and weighs a ton.

Not putting miles on your car is like not having sex with your girlfriend, so she'll be more desirable to her next boyfriend.
