its never to late, someone might be interested in this old thread about table top compressors. https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/table-top-compressors.158126/

i guess i'm a stickler for correctness, at least to best possible degree. btw, a crisp Benjamin is still available for this williams no.1. there are conditions. thx.

not that complicated, really stupid people can sue anyone who they think will pay. especially if they get class action status.

use common sense european method to cross cut and understand grain stress in thicker/wider materials. you'll be fine. i have a big 1 that travels 24", a real lumberyard saw.

extreme load on roof directly above these rafters, my guess a pallet of roofing shingles as he had roof recent redone. could also be debris container placed there.

i'd go with single 2x keeping load closer to joist ends. no snow load there.

you think this "sagging/flat" is caused by these dropped rafters? looks you got newer plywood/osb sheeting over the old roof boards, your drip line detail may be compromised, no over hang, right?

original sheeting nailing is holding rafters left to right, they ain't gotta be tied to joist, look how long they haven't been. don't need any blocking between anything, you need to lift. I'd put a long new 2x plate in (on top of joist) from this end to a point that the rafters are bearing on...

you may be able use thicker material bearing on the joist and have the rafter bear on it. can you get in there?

some kind crazy balloon framing i ain't seen b4. i note no overhang/eave, unless applied on sheeting outside. that board bearing the seat cut looks like soft eastern pine, you may be able to jack rafter up off 2 joist and replace that broken board. like asked above are all like that?

i stumble thru a explanation of that base the best i could in the video. it basically provides pressure to the switch and bleed itself so motor doesn't start againist pressure. no drain petcock there.

because old & obsolete now, there are collectors for repulsion-start induction-run motors out there. imagine that. psa, know your pressure tanks condition, look into hydro testing it. its can be a bomb! "killer" "littleboy"

you might wanna do some searches, heres a result of 1 i redid few years back. https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/1927-flat-belt-champion-compressor-w-riveted-tank-will-it-pump-again.489889/

most 18"ers been cut down leaving the numerals 1 and 8 at the end of the tongue. then you know.

you found a ad, but look at 2nd item offered. a nickel more for 18" leg. thanks for your effort! this is one of latest advertising offering the 18" tongue on a becoming obsolete balloon framing tool.

Wondering if craftsman offered a 24"x18" framing square? It would take some research of the earliest cm catalogs.

shingle rain gutters not staggered correctly, maybe leaking in the area that looks like the sheeting boiling up. what about other roof areas?

found some misplaced information, 3ton for a no.4, no wonder alot are busted. booklet date unknown.
