Hey Matt, I am about to begin a rebuild on a Saylor-Beall 707 pump. I was wondering if you could put me in contact with the guy who built your valve cover tool. Also, if you would be willing to share the PO/details of the crush washers/gasket diagrams you designed so I could order from the same...

If I'm not mistaken air compressors are tough on VFDs, if not all associated components the system. Also due to the light duty use of the compressor in my shop even a 15 hp VFD would be a much more expensive route to get up and running. I'm actually downsizing and going with a bare minimum motor...

Good to know. I'll probably give them a call just to get the thumbs up. There is a machinist/fabricator close to me who I will consult for making the valve cover tool and a 184T adjustable motor plate that would bolt into the existing adjustable 215T slots. He has a industrial plasma cutter and...

Thanks! I hope to get it up and running in the near future. I was going to pump the motor back on the brake lathe and sell it as a whole, but I'd consider it. How much were you thinking?

455 rpm wow. That is good to know. I initially thought anything sub 600 rpm would not adequately lubricate the pump, but I'm sure there are pros and cons to having a the pump run slow. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yea that's what I figured. I recall eyeing the diameter the other day thinking it had to be 1-7/8 or larger. The excitement of saving got to me haha. Tomorrow I'll go out and take some measurements to determine what size sheave I need to get the pump running at an optimum rpm with this...

Awesome! Thanks so much md21722. We'll I took your advise and grabbed a Baldor 5 hp motor L1430T off eBay....$269.95 shipped!! I'm not sure if the shaft on the current 10hp motor is 1-1/8" but if it is I theoretically could use the current pulley as the 10 hp motor was 1750rpm correct? Thanks...

I think I'm going to pull the trigger on a Baldor 5hp single phase L1430T. 1725 Rpm Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Excellent. I will check that out when I get a minute. Thanks for the info. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Very good to know. I'm going to try my luck with the motor I have, just because I have it on hand. I bought the air compressor for $140 in an online auction and the motor for $25. I've ordered new bearings for the motor and should have them any day now. The main problem I foresee is the motor...

Indeed. Yea they are most likely the best source of information. I did know I would have to switch the pulley ratio up due to the different motor RPM, but I was wondering if it could be done before I purchase the pulley for the little 5 hp motor. I would assume that it's most likely not...

I picked up a Saylor-Beall Air Compressor 707 10 Hp 3-Phase 120 Gal tank at an online auction last week with the plans to switch out the motor for a 5 HP single phase motor so I can run it in my home shop. <a href="http://s415.photobucket.com/user/fixyoselfsomegood/media/SB_1.jpg.html"...

Moved to General Tool Discussion. Thread name: Saylor Beall Air Compressor 707 10 gal. - Home Shop

This is my firsts post and I will most likely be needing a bit of help, but I picked up a 10 hp Saylor-Beall 707 on a 120 gal tank over the week for $140 at an online auction. The motor is 3-phase and after doing some research, mostly on this forum I came to the conclusion that I'd need to go...
