Air Compressor Capacitor Help

[Sangant]

Yes, I should be able to read the capacitors, but I can't, and the friend I showed them to can't either, the paint is just faded badly and somewhat gone. I guess that's good that they got to that point, but now they're gone to the big bin in the sky.

So... what are the capacitors needed for a old Campbell Hausfeld 20 gallon air compressor? It's old, still uses oil instead of being an oilless design. I think it's a pretty standard 1 to 3 hp motor. Just the type would be good, a link would be great.

Thanks!

1/3 HP on a 20 gallon tank?
seems low .
Got a pic of the compressor & the motor? model number?

 

[Sangant]

Yup, I mistyped that! Corrected now, thank you.

I have a Campbell Hausfeld belt drive, oil lubed from early 90's with a 15 amp motor . can check tomorrow

look at the motor plate & get some info , I'll compare it to mine and see if we have same motors

Not to hi-jack the tread but may be easier and is related
Same compressor as OP
Run capacitor is bad, need new one
but Capacitor markings are erased
Attach is the motor specs
Someone in the forum may have the same motor, very common and used by different manufacturers

I'll try to remember to look in the next few days

Here's where I would start in your situation. https://www.google.com/search?q=doe...gGAZAGCJIHBTEuMi4xoAfiDw&sclient=gws-wiz-serp

I have spent hours searching online, no luck.
The company who built those motors have been sold 4 times, there's basically no records regarding parts for the motor.
The centrifugal switch plate broke when I was replacing the bearings but I managed to repair it and is better than factory now.
My best and perhaos only shot with the cap is to find someone with the same motor, there's hundreds of them out there

I’ve had a ton of issue with start capacitors on air compressors. Try this one, it was a fit for 3 different air compressors I have.

That's the start cap, I need the run cap

This one, have done a search on the model and came up emptied

as promised, here's mine . different motor but I wonder how close the caps would be

The first link I clicked on in the google search has photos of both the start and run capacitors. The motor specs look to be the same as yours, except for giving the actual horsepower. Amps are the same, so it must be the same horsepower.

Ignore that the person is asking how to reverse the rotation, the capacitor numbers are there in the photos.
