I poked around online a bit more and found that 331/332 series. And while those models look very similar, mine has a plate riveted on that says it's a model "462". But when you google "Kellogg 462" a beast of a modern-day Kellogg unit comes up that's definitely not this old 462...

Can someone help me identify the pump on this air compressor? Please! I thought maybe it was a Wayne or Westinghouse going off that little "ACW" logo cast into it. But internet pics show their pumps look nothing like this. ??? Kellogg, maybe? Internet research says they made pumps for Sears...

I got it sorta cheap because the tank has developed a rust hole. The pump and motor seemed to work just fine when the seller started it up and let it run for awhile. My plan (if I can get good info on it) is to see if I can find a basic rebuild kit (or even just gaskets?) and freshen up the...

Vintage 1967 Sears Air Compressor Model 102 SS 270, info? Hey GJ'ers, In an effort to find a quieter-running, old-school air compressor to replace my dying 1940-something Quincy 110 unit, I just picked up this 1967 Sears 120 gallon compressor. I was very excited to hear it runs almost...

Attached to the aforementioned work bench/table saw was this Chinese "classic". I believe these CMC-branded versions are quite ubiquitous amongst the homeowner types. So I'm not bragging about it. I bought the table for the raw metal and sorta for this vise as it's a pretty sturdy unit. But...

I bought a big, metal table saw/work bench at a garage sale this past weekend and got a box of old table saw parts, accessories and blades that came with it. I was pulling the junk out of the box and this cute, little guy fell out! Had to do a bunch of wire-brushing to get all the years of grime...

I was was trying to "over-fab" it. Went back out to the garage and realized all I needed to do was drill a new hole just in front of the too-big factory hole. (My original goal for this conversion was to use factory holes and not make any new ones - which is likely why this easy solution didn't...

Yes, I want to weld directly to the frame the welder is built onto. That's what gives me pause about the whole deal. If it was a welding cart the welder was sitting on, it'd already be welded. ;) Unbolting the frame isn't practical (it'd take 2-3-4 hours). So if there's any sort of risk, I...

Hey all, I bought a Miller Pulser (somewhere between a 211 and a 180, with the box size like all the 200 units) awhile back and it came with a double tank cart in back. I'm not going to use the spool gun feature and thus the extra tank of gas it'd need to MIG weld aluminum. Plus, I have a tiny...

No. No progress lately. I'm at the end of my knowledge bank on this thing. (Heck, I was at that before I even moved it into the garage.) I've fired it up a couple more times. It still screeches/knocks the first 20-30 seconds on a cold start-up and then acts just fine. You know, I don't know if...

Near as I can figure, it's coming from the compressor and not the motor. The motor has good oil and a good oil level. I'm kinda at a stand-still on this now. Any thoughts/suggestions on what that sound might be caused by?

Are you referring to this cover G P? I looked at that a few times when I had the sheave off and fiddling with the intercooler. I was curious but some how not enough to open it up. (Derr...) I opened it up and there doesn't seem to be anything in it. I can't see down to the bottom without...

Got some shaky, poor-sound-quality video on my Flip camera this evening. Gonna try to embed it here to see if anyone can tell me what might be going on on the start-up with this ol' girl. [Okay, I'm too dumb to figure out how to embed a video. You'll just have to make the jump to YouTube.]...

It's a cute little guy, but what niche does a tank like this fill??? It's not a 60 or 80 gallon vertical, stationary and it's not a 30 gallon horizontal, portable. At this size and price point, I'd think a horizontal, portable one would be more ideal and wouldn't take up too much more space...

I agree it is rather vague Jason. But I felt it was worth mentioning just in case someone here might be familiar with the description. I'm gonna see if I can get some footage of it and post it. I'm gonna run it a few more times and see if it's consistent before I freak out too much. It just...
