 I guess I'll find out if newer CH compressors are as good as they used
to be.  Its a good sign that they have a 7.5 HP motor on their 80 gallon
2 stage upright instead of a 5.

I compare the measured running Amps to the motor nameplate value and reduce the pulley size if they are higher.

Yep, reducing the pulley size is how I keep the IR running with its new motor and its working thermal protector.

 I changed a hydraulic pump that was driven by a gas engine and didn't refigure the pulley ratio, and the belt failed with broken cords on one side, which caused it to roll sideways and slip under load. That was briefly a puzzler.
