Where did you get your rebuild kit?

Mystery solved: missing snap ring. I removed the crankcase cover and unloading flyweight assy as suggested. I could not wiggle the connecting rods. It was a little easier to turn but still not right. I removed the LP cylinder and it got easier. I removed the HP cylinder and the crank turned...

Thanks guys. I think you are right. I will pull the panel off once the manual shows up. I ordered a manual off of ebay and should be here soon. Are the bearings common or are they some special Ingersoll_IRand type they no one carries? Is there any reason why I can't press on the new ones...

I'm talking about lots of drag with the heads off so there is no air being pushed anywhere. This is just pure mechanical drag like something is way too tight.

Just picked up an old Model 234 with a 1.5HP motor. Powered it up and the motor had a tough time coming up to speed so I pulled the belt off to check a few things out. The drag on the pump is way more than I expected. It is very stiff. I noticed the motor was turning in the opposite...

Denwood Can you elaborate a bit about what you have on both sides of the T?. The regulators are obvious. What are each of the units between the T and the regulators? Ron

OK, I deserved that. I didn't even know what I had and was shocked when I started reading up about the Binks/Quincy compressors. I am compressor illiterate. I have been using a noisy Porter Cable oil-less compressor for years and never thought much about upgrading until I picked up the old...

Redmondjp It looks like you were spot on with your assessment. I did get the pump to work but the cycle time to get any useful pressure is really long. I made a new flapper to replace the one with the hole and that was the problem. Once going it took more than a half hour to get up the...

I was afraid I might have a re-purposed refrigeration pump. It still could be good for general shop air. It will be a hell of a lot quieter than my oil-less compressor. The hole in the flapper is about the size of a pencil eraser and is not a clean hole. You can see where the metal was just...

I still have no clue about the make of this compressor but I did pull the head to get an idea why it was not producing any pressure. What I found was an obvious problem. One of the flap valves had been poked right through thus providing absolutely no valve action. This seems to be a common...

OK, now it is my turn. I went through all the posts and looked at all the great pictures of your old compressors hoping I'd see one like mine but no such luck. Here is what I just picked up. The motor runs and the pump spins freely but pumps very little air. I am going to pull the head off...
