Maybe you should say why you got yours, you envious ***** ! :lol: All you needed was my leroi or a 247 :p Here's mine, converted and running. Full rebuild videos on my channel.

Or maybe it'll help you....decompress haha

I've almost completed the rebuild process of the pump, for all devair 447 **** you can watch the videos I made as I rebuilt it. Anyhow, here's the playlist on my channel : People question the need for a 247 devair but people questions your sanity when you buy a 447 ! Anyways, Im uploading...

You can run the 447 on 7.5hp, thats the limit as it needs 500rpm minimun. It says so on the pumppapers, but it's never been commerciallized as such. I wanted something to max out 240V. Can't find 15hp single phase, too rare and only in closed frame motors, so even more expensive. Nice 247...

got it for 700$, came with a Sullair air dryer Ill get this week. Factor in the value of the dryer and it's a decent price. I don't have three phase or I'd put a 15hp on it, and get 51.8 Cfm at 175psi. This is a 10hp, so I can easily switch it to a 10hp single phase. 36.5CFM at 175psi is...

I've got a lead on parts. the rebuild kit is roughly 150$ us. It's apparently readily advailable. They referenced me to a place in canada, ill see how much they want. Ill have to sell mine this summer cause i got a 447 powered devair that I want to set up. But yeah, they are good, Ive had mine...

As if my leroi wasn't enough, I brought this baby back to my house today. 120 gallon 4 cylinders 2 stage with the 447 devair/devilbiss pump. Yeah...i've wanted a 447 for a while.

Here's a few pics of mine: serial number for cool info:

Wabash: Same unit with low oil level shutdown (not hooked up but present) http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=113115&highlight=wayne+5000

So far no replies from the various parts places, I guess they dont take email seriously in this day and age. Only thing that would make this unit better is pressure lube like a QR-25, but still my unit survived for 22 years before me, and I still didnt rebuild it and been using it for...

Wow, that's great. the pump original design was somewhere in the 60s, if you look closely at the oil level sight glass, some have a different design that sticks out. Im pming you right now for the manual. Been looking for it for a while

Well, I have that exact one, from 1983 or 1985 . It has a knock since i bought it, was run by a three ph 5hp and replaced with a 7hp. Very good compressor and now looking into rebuilding it. This pump puts out 18cfm at 175 psi, and is a 200psi unit Mine is working, if you need to know where...

wow, I have the same, albeit mine is a later redesign in the 80s. I have 5 digit after the x in my serial number 4005X20198, you probably only have 4. Mine came with a 3ph 5hp motor, and I changed it for a 7.5 single phase. Pretty sure a 5hp would burn to the ground. That compressor has a 4...
