I'd take the head off and look at it. Likely reed valves, pretty obvious and given it's a name brand, likely valves are available. Costs nothin' to take a look.

Amen. And, the question is??

I'm 82 yo. I bought one new 70 years ago. I used the h--- out of it. Gave it to my oldest, long gone. But, I found one on ebay. To quiet it, there's a nut on the bottom which controls the amount of magnetic movement. Try tightening or loosening it if it's too noisy. Shallow throat, but...

My buddy with an electric motor shop/pump repair shop has Proto, mostly. A clamp across the jaws gives a similar effect as the Posi-Loc. I don't know if Proto is still made, but a Mexican company called Urrea is importing Proto clones. I think their distribution center is in San Antonio. I...

Re: 12 point nuts & bolts, Isn't it more of an SAE thing rather than a Metric thing? Some applications have 12 point fasteners. Automotive, but more.

If you don't get it, don't sweat it. You'll never know the difference.

I built my 40' x 40' 32 years ago. Found mismade trusses in a boneyard of a truss manufacturer, helped by a civil engineer friend. Made my building 39' x 42'. 2 x 6 on 16" centers. I don't live in Pa, but the approach should work. I have no knowledge of present day material costs. I bought...

You did. I'm 5 miles east of Tacoma. Welcome!!

Because, as per the comments, it's arguably "better".

I'm not sure what you are asking for. I have a working in ground air over hydraulic. It is a Rotary ram with a Globe head. I set it myself. Used, not new. It doesn't leak.

Yes. It's only as difficult as you make it.

Try a bearing house, local to you.

That's why typically air compressors don't like phase convertors. They struggle to start.

I have three 10' x 10' single pane in a 32 year old building. One I bought new, others were used from an Arco station. Professionally installed. I didn't like that people could see everything in the shop, tried roll up down black plastic, royal pain. Boeing surplus sold fluorescent fixture...

Had a friend years ago with a similar problem. Solved it with Tote Goat motor mounts. No idea whether these are still available.

If that motor has brushes and a wound armature, it's a repulsion-induction with hellacious starting torque. If it runs, use it. I suspect the bearings are sleeve bearings, likely not replaceable. Maybe some felt wicks to hold oil. If you want to test shorts to ground, the correct way is to use...

Manasquan Premium Fasteners??

I've had luck using small engine rings.

I have this one, bought 20% off with coupon. Replaced motor with a 3 phase and run with a freq drive. My go-to for tough drilling. Otherwise, a Craftsman "Commercial" with a PM variable speed.

I bought 2 doors from an Arco station teardown for $150 apiece. Look on Craig's list. I had a professional installer, bought one new door from him. Cost me $1500 total. 32 years ago.
