After 12 years, the tank on my HF Chicago Electric compressor has rusted through on the bottom, now has a nice leak.

Anybody know if, or where a replacement tank can be found? HF doesn't list one.
What makes it challenging is that the new tank needs mounts for wheels and the compressor, so I can't just buy a generic stand-alone tank.
 
Here's the question:

Do you like it enough to buy it a second time?
 
Not sure what you're getting at... but yes I have found this one to be a good deal and I'd do it again. Just seems pretty wasteful to pitch a perfectly good compressor just b/c the tank rusted out.

I did notice that there's a Husky model @HD that looks exactly the same, except only 1.5hp motor for only $99... worst case I guess I could buy that and swap the tanks
