Hi Everyone, We picked up a 15HP Kaeser 3 phase compressor. Currently i runs only if i push in the contactor on the left it works no problem. See attached photos for both the model and SN, also the contactor. The start button does not work, also once it hits the cycle limit it will not restart...

The wheels are damaged, I am looking mainly for slag clean up and overall just grinding on metal. I need help trying to figure out the best one.

I have a 5HP motor right now. Do i need to upsize the motor to a 7.5hp or larger to match that size pump.

I can run a 5hp motor with e 7.5HP unit. How do I know which one I have? This has been my Achilles heel as of late. I have been so frustrated by it. https://drive.google.com/file/d/14Nn6wci5MgAvjZv_j4um4SS5YezO9XDB/view?usp=sharing

I can run a 5hp motor with a 7.5HP unit. How do I know which one I have? This has been my Achilles heel as of late. I have been so frustrated by it. Here is a video of it running of a 5hp Motor. Yes, the belts are loose, trying to figure out how to get them tight...

The Saylor Beall 707 is showing as a 10hp compressor, should i order a 10hp motor and see if it gets it running?

Hi, I recently purchased a 1961 Washington compressor used. It needs a little well a lot of love. It has a large 200G tank and a massive pump on it. I cannot figure out the make of the pump nor the HP rating. Currently it has a 5HP motor that just seems way too small for it. Any help...

We will also be offering some of these as a kit for welding practice. It will be notched marked, fit up, and ready for MIG or TIG welding.

Here is the full video of the first cut. https://drive.google.com/file/d/135kc-Bw1_5ZEFFRk6I8eoaIpEt_FuD0z/view?usp=sharing

We are up and running with the Dragon A400. https://www.instagram.com/valknutfabrication/ to see our short video.

Yes, he is an amazing Dude. His new place is amazing. If you ever out here, please do DM me and you are more than welcome to stop by and see our place.

Here is a sneak peek at our Dragon A400. Almost ready to be shipped to us, new to us, used to someone else. Well, they bought a multi-million-dollar laser instead.

Here are two 4EFTE motors that we will be reconditioning. The orange one has some performance goodies we will need to move over to the one with the transmission.

So i am moving more to this thread, https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/introducing-valknut-fabrication-ut.494994/#post-9495867. The shop garage will be mainly used for the company i am starting up.

Here is our first project 1961 compressor, not sure on the original head, I cannot find any markings. The possible new compressor head is a Dayton - 3Z180C. The motor is a GE 5HP 3PH 5K215AG201.
