If you're looking for the true origin of your compressor here are a few things to look up: Uno air compressors Do a image search: Chinese air compressors, Italian air compressors, and India air compressors. You'll find most of the inexpensive compressors sold here. Especially the 3600 rpm...

The spring you want to check is down by the crankshaft on the lever mechanism. When the machine stops it pull a pin upward to relieve pressure on the head. As it (the compressor) starts, the centrifugal weights actuates the lever arm pushing the pin down closing the reliefs in the head. If...

I don't want to pop anyone's bubble, but I don't know of a single compressor assembled in the US that has 1oo% US content. Just like your car. The innards, castings, and little things stuck on the machines are sourced to the lowest bidder.

I thought about a bit more, check the unloader plunger, it may be bouncing off the valve plate intermittently make the lub-lub sound, might be a broken or weak unloader spring.

The high pressure machines will be of no use for the regular garage. If you think a two stage compressor parts are high, wait to you have to buy a part for one of these. Not to mention Bauer is a ***** to work with. You're going to have to look at the specialty high pressure segment of air...

A Champion RV15A, a lower model on the totem pole. This unit has finger (reed) valves instead of concentric ring valves, and no centrifugal unloader.

It is a climate control unit. It is not setup to be used as a normal use compressor. Low pressure, single stage, they work great for large HVAC systems. You start raising the pressure the faster they are going to wear out.

If you have the external centrifugal (the weights behind the flywheel), this could be part of the problem. Give me a call tomorrow 1-800-845-0125, I have a lot of Curtis info.

The only way you might be able to distinguish it from one or the other is the color under the current paint, but regardless it is the same machine, Champion R15. The $700 is what I get for a refurb. 5 Hp. When I get them, they usually don't stay around long.

It can be both a Gardner Denver as well as a Champion, since Gardner Denver owns Champion. When G/D bought Champion they dropped most of their A series compressors, they were pricing themselves out of a market. Then there is a big global investment company that owns G/D. Here is the fun part...

Need a model # or a better view of the pump to tell what Curtis you have. Expensive parts? Depends what you are comparing to. Rebuild kits are available, some rings and a valve job and it should be like new. The only safety factor I see is a missing belt guard. I you don't have any rust...

I would start by making sure all the valves are tight. When is the noise happening?

Just what Fixnair said. Wear parts still available. Need a casted part (piston, cylinder,rod, crank), forget it. Can't beat it for free. A 5 hp. motor would pull that nicely. I'm pretty sure I have a parts book for it. Bob C, is the Worthington a Holyoke unit or one of the big Buffalo units?

Congrats!

Champion R15 according to the numbers.

In small reciprocating air compressors 30 wt. non-detergent oil is all that is needed. I have found if the machine is kept outside you want to change it at least 2wice a year, inside once a year. Stuff labeled compressor oil is a selling trick, easy to charge a couple bucks extra to re-label a...

You don't dry the air before you compress is because you will need a much larger dryer to do the job. I think it is something like 4 times the size. I doesn't make any sense, bigger machine, more power, you get the idea. Compressor your air, if you want put it thru an aftercooler, (most...

The 215 dim. is 4-1/4 x 14 with a 1-1/8 shaft dia. with a 3" length. The 184T dim. is 3-3/4 x 11 with a 1-1/8 shaft dia. with a length of 2-3/4" length. There should be multiple slots for different motors on the tank base. The 184T should bolt on. The motor pulley should be a 2 pc. unit and you...

Checked the G/D manual and they say 15-17 LBS.
