I passed on the compressor. Too worried about parts availability on an obsolete compressor....that and having to drive that far to look at it, and if something is not right with it, I'm out a whole lot of gas and time. I have a better plan I hope....I found a 705 Saylor Beall pump that had been...
I don't know why it's listed in Texas??? The compressor is actually in New Mexico. I clicked on the link from the OP and it it's dead. The drive to New Mexico is an easy one down I-25.
LOL...Do you have a better deal on a compressor? Amarillo is a bit of a detour for me, and I have no fond memories of Amarillo. That's a long story lol
I haven't been able to get a hold of him today. I never asked about the three phase motor, or what was wrong with it as I am going to replace it anyhow.
I already have a 5hp single phase motor for the compressor. I wont be building a VFD because the 3 phase, 7 1/2hp motor that's on the compressor is shot, thus the low price on the compressor. My motor that I already have in use on my compressor is a 5hp 1740 rpm motor.
Wayne makes a good compressor, or should I say "they used to?" I heard that a lot of the parts on the pump can be crossed with Kellogg pumps ie: valves and such? I guess my question is, is it worth two hundred bucks and a drive? lol
I just talked to the guy on this compressor. I need some input from the compressor guru's...I have a a single phase, five horse motor for the compressor. The compressor had a 7 1/2 horse three phase motor on it. Would my five horse motor run this sufficiently? I know I will lose some cfm to...
You should be able to pick up an electric motor sheave at almost any electrical supply house. The oilfield supply house here carries sheaves for all of the different electrical motors that are used in the oilfield.
Hope this helps you!
