<p>I had that exact same compressor until August when it blew a
pin hole in the bottom of the tank and started leaking. It was
15 years old and I thought I had been good about keeping it
drained but it still rusted through. It never had any problem
reaching the 135 PSI.</p>
<p>There should be a dip stick on a plastic fill plug just to the
right side of the compressor. It just pulls straight out. If it
were low on oil I would think it would be making a racket, but
it should be checked anyway. Also there is an intake air filter
at the top of the compressor, check to make sure it is not
plugged.</p>
<p>In the picture it has the air outlet valve open. Have you tried
running it with that valve closed? A fault in the air line
downstream somewhere might be leaking off just enough air that
it can't quite trigger the cut-off. <br>
</p>
<p>Of course the cut-off itself could be faulty but one would
think it would continue to build pressure until it popped off
the safety valve. I would get some air into the tank and then
manually pull the safety valve open to make sure it is
functioning. With the compressor not running the safety valve
should re-seat itself when the pressure drops low enough.</p>
<p>My old one is in the storage shed and I am sure I can find the
manual if you need more information.</p>

help relative to a Husky 60 gallon , 7 HP air compressor.
I am shop sitting the shop in AZ of my recently deceased
friend until his three sons can decide what they are going
to do with the 10 tractors, 5 highly modified garden
tractors and a fully stocked shop with a huge quantity of
hand tools. In return for doing the shop sitting I get to
use the shop to do the work on my 1935 JD B and JD Garden
Tractor. Upon the very first entry I noticed the air
compressor was running too long. I shut the breaker off
and am not trying to figure out of there is something I
can do to fix it. My first thought is the pressure switch
isn’t working right. But…. I have never worked on this
version. Attached is the picture of the air compressor. I
have not yet found a operators manual or service manual to
guide me through some trouble shooting. I am pretty sure
this was working at least up to the end of August and then
my friend got confined to the house due to illness and
eventually died October 6. I arrived in the middle of
November to take first use of the shop again. So the
compressor sat unused for at least couple months which
may have something to do with it not working now. It does
pump up to 135 lbs pressure but does not shut off. I set
my compressor at home to shit off at 120 PSI. So 135PSI
seems high to me. If I open the pressure switch is there
some adjustments in there or is it maybe just stuck that
needs to be unstuck? Anyone with experience with this
brand of air compressor? I don’t want to create more
expense because I don’t know what I am doing. Here is a
picture. Note: The red dial on top of the pressure control
does work in that it shuts down the compressor when moved
to the Off position. When moved to the Auto position it
just continues running.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
