Air Compressor Modified To Keep From Tipping Over FARM SHOP Handy Hints Ollie Maier San Marcos Texas: “Our air compressor came with a pair of small wheels spaced closely together under the tank which caused it to tip over sideways on uneven ground “To keep that from happening I installed larger front wheels off an old riding mower I had to extend the compressor’s axle by slipping a 1-ft length of pipe over each end Then at the point where the hole was on the axle to hold the original wheel on I drilled a hole into each pipe and inserted a pin to hold the pipe on and to provide the inner limit for the new wheel I then drilled another hole near the end of each pipe and inserted a pin to provide the outer limit for the wheel Riding on bigger wheels that are spaced farther apart it’s now almost impossible to tip the compressor over ”
