Kellog American Air Compressor

[phiftyseven]

I recently bought a Kellog American compressor at a garage sale. It's about 30 years old and plan on taking the head apart to clean the valve plates and check the rings out. Before I open it up I want to be sure I can get parts, especially gaskets. Does anyone know of a good source of parts for this brand ? I know they are not in business anymore. I'll also be needing a parts list with the exploded view of the parts. Thanks

I have an old KA 2-stage unit in pieces. It looks like the parts are readily available. I believe mine is a 332TV, and has disc valves.

My dad gave me his old Kellog-American a couple Christmas's ago. It was from back when he was doing a lot of home autobody work and painting. It hadn't been used in about 20 years. Plate on the side of the tank says 1945... Talk about a tank, took 3 of us just to muscle the bare tank in to my truck and two to lift the huge motor. He did have the pump rebuilt back shortly before he quit using it. I think it's about an 80 gal tank.
I had to replace the pressure switch and tighten where an air-line entered the tank, but other than that and finding an air filter assembly it's been running better than new. The parts I got so far were from Grainger but they weren't motor or pump specific. I did see a couple places online that caried parts when I originally got it and was trying find out some info on it. Not sure when they went out of business.

I think they were "absorbed" by CompAir.

Here are some more parts sources:
