Engine driven air compressor information

[The white welder]

Hey y'all! I was given an engine driven compressor today by one of my buddies and I was wondering if you guys can give me any information on It? It has been repainted red, but it looks like it was originally blue, which leads me to believe it is an E. L. Smith, but that's about as far as I've gotten, I can't find much of anything about it. It needs some parts and I am trying to find them, I would love to find a manual for it to order them. If any of you can help it would be greatly appreciated!View attachment 1

Most of it is generic.

My dad built a couple of them...it's a setup totally generic whatever the brand name is.

Parts . . .?

Is something working incorrectly?

That's quite a unique pump and needless to say, a good motor (if run).

That pump has a head unloader that needs to be plumbed to a pilot valve for continuous run. I can't tell what make/model of the pump but hopefully somebody here can.

The brands come to mind is Curtis or Kellogg American pump.
