    Shopmade Compressor Rebuild Tools

    Rebuilding a couple of compressors. One is a Kellogg American 331TV. Removing the tapered roller bearings on the crank is a pain. Not enough shoulder to drive it off, a little too close to those lead blobs Kellogg welds on for crank counterweights, and my bearing splitters kept fracturing off...

    Ugh, Grainger and their disposable Dayton tools

    Picked up another air compressor, Dayton Speedaire from the late 70s. Ran but very slow air buildup, had a 5hp Baldor single phase motor, so for $50 I couldn't go too far wrong. Anyways, the pump is a V twin Japanese made, apparently only made for Grainger back in the day, 3Z960. No parts...

    Anyone ever rebuild a Quincy QT-15??

    I picked up a QT-15 pump, complete at the scrapyard for $45. It is a V4 cast iron crankcase, cylinders, alum heads, reed valve, alum con rods w/o inserts. Anyway, torn it down and basically the only thing I could find wrong was a reed valve retainer broke allowing a reed valve to over flex...

    Saylor Beall, OK so what did I buy?

    1972 Saylor Beall U743 with a 705 pump. Believe it originally came with a gas engine. Now has a Baldor Industrial 3 phase, 5 hp, 1725rpm motor. I have 3 phase so that isn't a hurdle. Has that odd line from the crankcase to whatever you call the unloader casting. Anyone know why? There is no...

    Odd Ball IR Type 30 Model 41 Compressor Questions

    I picked up a IR type 30 model 41 compressor a couple of years ago and haven't done anything with it. It looks in great shape and turns easily. The model 41 is a high pressure 3 stage pump, rated for 1000 psi max with 2 cylinders and the 2nd piston has a 3rd piston and 3rd stage cast on top of...

    Which Model Quincy Compressor?

    I am looking to put a quality 2 stage compressor in my home shop. It can be up to 7.5hp 3 phase. Plan on occasionally using it to supply air to a blast cabinet. I have grazed through quite a few Quincy threads but don't see some of the info I would like to know. Which models would be...
