This is an older Schulz MSV series. They were also sold under the Ranger brand name. Champion sold them as a cheaper line for awhile. You can find them on various "house brand" compressors from time to time. They are made in Brazil.
Funny, our 10,000hp Ingersoll Rand centrifugal has an almost identical "D" in it's casting as well. It was built in New Jersey.

this may well be completely off-base, but the "D in a circle" logo was used by the Delco Light Co. of Dayton Ohio on some of their small hand tools:
I posted this on another thread. I have 2 going lol my memory is so bad in these older years.
So I was able to get it going. The lead wires were the biggest issue. I shrink-wrapped them as deep as I could rewire the whole thing wall to switch to the motor. One brush had the copper wire out of the brush. I reinstalled and she runs great... {kind of} Pumps air like a beast. I have it shut offset at 120 for now on at 60psi Tank is clean dry no rust. the motor looks great except for the lead wires Arm is very clean no wear on the copper really It was a backup used little in a county body shop ..
So I called an electric MOTOR co.
A super nice man (DID NOT BLOW ME OFF) helped me on the phone. He told me to shrink wrap the wires as deep as I could. since it's possible the if they messed with the motor at its age the trouble may keep growing.. the deeper you get. Like Plumbing on a post ww2 house, this was months ago as I got sidetracked,. But, I did ask about the price of a new motor. 2 hp sp 1750rpm. He said If memory serves ... 250.00 and I ask to rebuild? Poss. 350 to 400.. Maybe less but.....So I ask how long will a new motor last? "2 yrs 3 maybe" and the rebuild? "50 yrs" .... FIFTY YEARS?< I do not see any reason NOT to rebuild. If they could upgrade the bearings to sealed even better.
Now im ready to finish I had left a message for him but he called during a maiden flight so i could not answer Ill call him 2morrow
I stopped writing this to finish the oil change on the pump and decide to open the side and clean out the oil res. Man, this thing looks good. There was a 1/4 inch of sludge but no metal I cleaned this out with a carb cleaner wiped it all out and let it dry and new oil
My only issue.
Intermittently the motor sounds funny ( laboring) when it cycles back on.. when it does I shut her down and restart. I think it's a loss of power via old internal; wiring ..
IDENTITY,,, I looked at
Schulz MSV series, Ranger and Champion all I was told possible made in Brazil but still found no match.
I like the slow rpm. it why I search for so long for a unit like this. But I want to know the rpm specs psi specs etc. The old 2hp motor is not laboring when working right Hell it will not even get warm but it would be nice to know what it was supposed to have powering it.,
Thank you all for your help any more is a blessing .and I'm thankful.
SHE WILL BE REBORN TO A FULL SERV> COMPRESSOR
