Converting York to Air Compressor---

When i bought my 77 f250 hiboy it came with a large tubular front bumper that a previous owner had installed as an air tank-----it even had a pressure gauge---so I filled er' up and it has held 60 psi for about 8 weeks now----i decided that i would convert the old york compressor to an air pump----My main reason being that a company in washington state manufactures an air driven T-post driver and my "new aircompressor" would be of sufficient capacity to run this device---I'm old and lazy to boot so if i can find a mechanical device to make my life easier then that's a good thang---I'm setting this system up via the article in Mr. JOwilker's home page--thank you sir---and I'm going to order my new t-post driver cause i've got a fence job that requires me to drive about 200 t-posts and that's way tooooooooooooo much work for an ole tex-*** fat boy-----I will post the results here as soon as I get the system set up and running , fd :-X11
