    Anyone know if the spring and ball attach to the HP cylinder head via that fitting that runs down to the crankcase, I had to tske it off to get the tap wrench on and it fell out and I didn't catch were it goes but assume it goes into the HP head with the weird fitting

    Think I may be getting a even larger leroi dresser 550a for Next to nothing in 2 weeks. It's a couple hours drive. Only problem is lifting a 235lb pump the man sounded old and would be afraid to ask. The guy I work with is heading that way in 2 weeks and may stop and get it for me if it's close...

    I can see it may have more torque as it huges large copper strands for the windings. I don't know alot about eletric motors, learned all I know from messing around with electric rc Cars with brushed and brushless motors. It would be cool to hook to motors up with gears and a chain and see...

    Need info on Westinghouse 2yc compressor I just purchased

    Someone local would have to buy it as the weight is massive to ship it, I would of kept it but I'm unsure if 2hp is enough to spin that big pump to 175psi which I know my 5hp will. I know people also collect these but like I said before the one mounting tab was broken and repaired at one time so...

    Has anyone seen a induction motor like this one I assume from the 40-60's. I think tmrw I may throw some power at it just to show my kids how well old skool stuff waso really made for it to be as old as it is and still running. They always find it interesting

    Need info on Westinghouse 2yc compressor I just purchased

    I did swap my quincy air filter setup onto this one has the orginal filter used a steel mesh and was to dirty. The valves I could see on the low pressure side had a fair amount of carbon build up prolly from the vent that runs to that cylinder and the oil they used. I just got to figure out how...

    Yeah I figured it has alot more starting torque with the massive copper windings but one of the mounting tabs was broken and welded at some point and I already have a 5hp tfec marathon motor wired up to use.
