Thanks Larry

Good morning all...the regulator and filter are at least 25-30 years old. I have been trying to find the small filter in the water trap with no luck. The number on the filter unit is F20-04-000A D91. The filter is pretty stiff feeling, dont if that's good or bad. Size is 2" long x 1 3/8"...

Thanks to all, that explains it all quit well. I got to looking at the starter and wondered how the heck I even figured out how to hook it all up. Must have done an awful lot of research. probably most came from this forum. Thanks again

Hello all, I disassembled this GE 3hp Triclad motor cleaned everything, replaced the capacitors and bearings. Got to thinking setting it back up on the compressor (well my son did) man that motor is heavy. Is this motor control equipment even necessary with a capacitor start motor? I get a...

I dont think I have ever posted anything but sure have read alot on here, awesome forum with tons of information. Just wanted to share some info and some pictures on this motor. I know theres members here that have shown interest on these motors. The motor came on an old Saylor Beall compressor...

Hi guys and gals, Im looking to replace the motor starter and overload for this motor its on a mid 1960s Saylor-Beall vertical air compressor. The motor is wired for 240 and I have it on a 40amp breaker. The wiring is temporary just to get it running to see if it pumps air so if it needs to...

Thank you...very helpful information here.

Here is a couple pictures of the starter, The red tag is from the base near what I think is a coil, it shows 30 amp max load. Does that mean I shouldn't have had this on a 40 amp breaker?? The contacts are pretty fried. Theirs another number on the coil. Also a pic of the overload protection, no...

Thanks RJ that video helped out a lot. Would RSP supply be a source for my parts?

RJ Where would the starter be located inside the motor??? because their is nothing on the outside of this motor nor has their ever been.

No this was a big arc and the compressor wasn't up its psi to shut down yet.

got my old saylor beall compressor running until the control box blew up

The contact area was black and burnt looking so it must have been doing this before I got it.

No the arc occurred during running and it shut down from the arc
