What hp/voltage/etc? I have a 2hp Baldor with about 5 hours on it that is essentially new. If I recall correctly, it is 15 amps at 220. I also have a 2hp Dayton with similar specs and a bit more run time on it - though it works fine.

^^ I am curious too. I have the Pittsburgh and it works well. Smooth release to lower it, goes up plenty high and is inexpensive.

I have this jack as well and it will fit (just barely) under my lowered 2008 Volvo C30 and has no trouble picking up my 1985 Nissan pickup or my father's 2000 Tundra. Cheap and reliable, so far (have had it about a year). Get a hockey puck to use as a pad and it's been great. It's heavy, but...

I have a Capri 1/2" that when new was dead on with a calibrated Snapon. I bought it at Amazon for about $40. I only use it to torque lugnuts and so far it has worked very well for me. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NIZ65YY/?tag=atomicindus08-20

I think I would like to hang on to it. Something about having an old tool appeals to me. Maybe because it will go well with my old truck and old boat. I have access to a working 2hp 3450rpm motor right now, actually. The pulley on the motor that came with the compressor is already pretty...

Yeah, that's my thought as well. I would love to get it to work though. I mainly use the compressor I have now for lug nuts and other car related repairs, so it won't be constantly running for hours on end. Plus it seems like a fun project to figure out over the winter.

I hear you. I don't have much into it at this point. Paid $100 for it knowing it needed work. I guess I anticipated it being a bit less pieced together than it seems to be.

I may have just figured some of it out. I think what I have is half of an SS708 on a 705 crankcase. The SS708 specific part numbers (4707 cylinder and 4703 head) match the part numbers found on my compressor according to the manual I got from Saylor Beall. Now I need to figure out the motor...

Figured as much. The only numbers on the pump that I have found are on the crankcase, cylinder head, cylinder and centrifugal unloader valve. I never knew that compressors were so involved... All I have ever done with them is hook up a hose and adjust the pressure. It's fascinating, really...

Ha. Sorry, I will update my location. I am in Alexandria, VA. Outside DC. I may have found a Dayton 1TMX6 2hp motor for short money. Is that even enough HP for the pump?

I will give them a call tomorrow and see what I can find out.

From what I have seen, the 705 is a 2 stage with an after cooler? This appears to be single stage (pistons look to be the same size, at least the housings are similar sized) and it has no after cooler. Sent from my LG-H918 using Tapatalk

Thanks! That's good info. Now to figure out how to plumb it so it will run off the electric motor for running air tools like an impact wrench and ratchet.

Got news back on the motor this morning and it is not good. Stator is bad and they can't locate another that will work. So it looks like I am on the hunt for a new (or used) motor as well. The motor that was there was a 2hp Dayton, 1725 RPM, 115/230. I will need to brush up on the...

I dropped the motor off this morning and already heard back that the bearings need to be replaced. I will have it back this afternoon. Guy said the rest of the motor is in good condition. I am more interested in the pump and plumbing. This is my first attempt at doing anything compressor...
