Thanks for checking!

I found one web site that actually had the brushes (MC030230AV) listed and I contacted them and they said they are out of production with no replacements. I've got an email out to Campbell Hausfeld asking for the specs on the brush but I doubt I'll hear back. Here is what they are supposed to...

I wouldn't think so but this second compressor is only 1.7hp (maybe real? :) ), 26 gallon 120v 15A WL660900AJ. The motor is a LOT smaller than the one on the original compressor in this thread. I've got one of the brush holders out, trying to find a match. You can see the other one in the second...

Yeah, I may try that. The outer casing's for the brushes are OK so I'm 3d printing a test block to see if I measured the dimensions correctly and will go from there.

Haven't looked yet, but there were only a few drips of water that came out when I opened the valve at the bottom.

Funny thing is that during all this I was picking up some stuff at a store and they had a much newer (but still almost 20 yrs old) upright 25 gal Husky compressor out front with a free sign on it so I grabbed it. Plugged it in and it wouldn't turn on, dug in to it and found that the motor...

Well that was it, swapped over to a 20A 240v plug and it cranks on up to 100 psi with no drama. I had fiddled with the pressure switch screw, just need to adjust back to 125. Now time to clean it up and fabricate a replacement for the missing handle. Thanks for all the help!

Nice, that does appear to be the same one. His stickers are in a lot better condition that mine.

It is new, on of the PO's put a Husky cord on it, hence my confusion!

Could be. I’ll wire up a new plug tomorrow and fingers crossed that’s all that is wrong with it.

20 Gallons, nothing fancy. Here it is in all its glory, if I can get it running reliably I'll spend the time to clean it up.

Nothing on the back of the access cover, that could be because looking inside there doesn't appear to be any way to change anything. All the other wiring looks OK as far as I can tell. I'm guessing what could have happened is that the guy I got it from didn't understand what the plug was and...

I recently picked up a free Craftsman 4HP compressor which I was told was working fine and it runs for about a minute before bogging down to a standstill and then trips the thermal switch on the motor. The guy I got it from said he never actually used it but the neighbor who gave it to him used...
