ID this compressor

[no704]

Bought used like 10 years ago. Can’t find any kind of name plate on it other than the motor. Works great. Probably due for an oil change. Maybe new filters. No sight glass or dipstick so I’ve always just kinda guessed close enough. Would love to know the actual oil capacity.

Looks like a Saylor Beale 9000 from what I can see. The two at work had 20 and 25 hp motors and were 100 cfm each I believe

Has a 10hp 3phase Baldor motor. Nice lower pitch clump clump sound. Used pretty much daily but not hard. Have the pressure switch set to stop at 110psi. Turned off every afternoon. Forgot ONCe and had a 1/4” coil hose burst. Was holding 50psi and a bit warm. That was probably 3 years ago. Last time it had an oil change. I really need to get some kind of PM calendar in place!

I’ll get behind it tomorrow and get some better pictures.

The fill on the right, And what could be a place for a sight glass on the left. When I fill it I try to fill to the center of these. No idea if that is the correct place, but it’s been working fine so far!

Looks like an older Saylor Beal 707. I say older bases on the unloader housing. Great people to deal with direct. Very helpful.

Basic rule on crankcases with no dipstick or sight glass is to fill to the top of the fill port--not the ell.

Thanks for the info guys!

Uh, bottom of the fill port, dipshit.
