Well I got the old girl going! It works nice I may need the replace the pressure switch soon since it has started to hiss some air but other than that it is woking grate! I ended up painting it gray cuz I figured it would be cheaper than buying Saylor Beall Paint. I ended up making the motor...

Here is my old vice my father in-law gave it to me when they where getting redy to sell his dad's house.

That is interesting and it would save me some time. I am going to call a local Saylor Beall dealler today and see what they have for parts I have seen some parts on line but I think they are for the knock off Saylor Beall's.

Well I finally got some time to get started on this project this weekend. A little background on this unit first. you may see in the pics that the main crank case block is a different color than the rest of the parts the previous owner had loaded it on his truck to take it to a local compressor...

Well I did some looking last night and the wire is rated for RHW-2 so I am good there but I did find that the 2" conduit that has the existing 3 wire to the barn also has the 3 wire that goes to my septic lift pump so my plan is now to run a second 2" conduit for the 2-2-2-4 right into the back...

I am pritty sure the wire has the RHW-2 rating as well but it is individual wires so I will need to put it in conduit but since the hole is just below the main box I should be able to use one of those 90° fittings with the cover to get up to the bottom of the box. Oh and I do plan to pull out...

I am planning to run 2-2-2-4 Mobile home feeder to my pole barn and want to clear up a few questions. First off I plan to run it in conduit even though it is rated for direct burial; I want to run coaxial cable out to the bar as well. Right now there is 110v 3 wire going out to the pole barn...

8" pulley sounds about right based on the size of the belt guard. I do plan on keeping this thing a long time. Here is a Baldor I found on e-Bay http://www.ebay.com/itm/L1410T-NEW-5-HP-BALDOR-AIRCOMPRESSOR-ELECTRIC-MOTOR-/180901621023?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a1e93ad1f I am beting this...

Hi all I am new to the forum and this looked like a good place to get info on some of my projects. Anyway I picked up this Saylor beall Compressor and some parts on the cheap it does need some work but should be a good unit once it's going. The main thing it needs is a motor I was wondering if...
