I am parking my tractor in my shop not too far from my air compressor motor. I've always heard that this is a NO-NO due to the problem with deterioration of the tires. Anyone actually know how close is too close? Many thanks in advance.

As the other reply stated, the motors will produce ozone that will deteriorate tires.

This is based on the fact that ozone causes the deterioriation of rubber... and
electric arcs (like arcing motor brushes) produces ozone.

Frankly, with most modern motors in any sort
of ventilated area, I don't think it will be
any problem....

Perhaps some others will have different imput...

few compressor motors have brushes to do any arcing. also it's a good practice to turn a compressor off at the breaker nightly so that it isn't a smoking wreck in the morning in the event of a hose breaking. unless your's is a commerial shop you can often leave the compressor off for days at a time.
