Regulate the air at the tank. Install the sharpe 6950 as far away from the tank. 20 or more feet is what is needed. Mine is 40ft. You do need time for the air to cool so the water comes out of the air. I also have a timed switch under the tank to keep the water drained. The sharpe filter is the best by far I've found. I paint cars, and have tried a lot of other setups. Copper tubing get hot and adds to the water in the line. Good rubber hose not cheaper vinyl hose should be used.

Thanks for the kind words fellas,I was a bit concerned with mounting the dryer higher than the compressor but it turned out fine.The long white tube coming down from the dryer is where the water empties into.I have to give credit for that idea to my buddy,it saved me a few bucks by not having to buy an automatic drain.Im very pleased with how everything works.Still have to add a pressure regulator between the compressor and the dryer,max pressure on the dryer is 125psi and the compressor pumps up to 140psi.Dont want to damage the dryer.Now to get the shop straightened up and get started back on the 1200.Gonna try and go pick up a 147 this weekend too.Sometimes I feel like I have too many irons in the fire but what the heck,better to get all of this stuff done while its winter instead of waiting for spring.Then we all want seat time not tool time(lol)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why not set your pressure sw to cut off @ 125 or do you need the high pressure?

That will work for tools with moderate air usage. I would think if you are using a lot of air (blasting, die grinder) you would want the extra reserve of air in the tank. It's not that you need the higher pressure, just the added volume that high pressure gives you of lower pressure air.

Coming straight from the compressor is a tee,one side feeds the dryer and filters and the other is just unfiltered air.Im figuring since the sandblaster only requires 7cfpm and that's the largest device I anticipate running from the filtered side a pressure regulator set at 110psi should be adaquate.I absolutely positively don't want to risk damaging the dryer.The rest of the shop air will be unfiltered for things like blowing out the shop,filling tires,seating beads and what not.I want to keep to extra air pressure for this sort of stuff.Kinda the best of both worlds I suppose.This whole project has been kinda hit and miss as you can tell, if I get it wrong its just a fitting or two to make the necessary changes.But one thing is for certain,the ideas and opinions of the fine folks on this site is the reason I have gotten this far.And I can't say thanks enough.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
