Montgomery Ward Air Compressor

[Dave's]

Hi, I have an old Montgomery Ward air compressor model XER6408 and serial#06182H-936786. It's a 5hp, 220volt, twin cyl, 12 gallon tank. I need a crankshaft and one connecting rod, and gasket set for it. Does anyone know who made the compressor for it and where i can get parts for it. I bought it about 36-37 yrs ago.
Thanks
Dave's

might be time to upgrade to a new one almost 40 years old seems that you got your moneys worth

Prob. Campbell - Hausfeld, but a new pump may be a better solution.

Yep a new pump would be great --- 36+ years wow -- sometimes it's hard to give up an old friend.

I have a MWards XER6465 2HP 20 GALLON 220V COMPRESSOR. i BOUGHT IT on05-24-79, for $179.00 .

I was just looking a the Owners Guide, it list other models, but not yours. It does not say who made the unit. Full parts blowup w/ numbers. (ie; crankshaft VT-6, TANK AR-67-26, GASKET SET VT-2102, ring set VT-2104)

Anyone know manufacturer by those #'s?

Interesting coincedence, but NO HELP TO YOU. Sorry.

I wonder if the pump is like the one I use. The only thing left of my system is the compressor, the motor, tank, and everything else has been replaced and/or upgraded.

For the record, started in a filling station in the 60s, moved to a wood working shop after when the station owner retired and closed, then I got it and started rebuilding. Big honkin' GE motor (220 volts) and doing some work I've had that thing running for as long as four hours continuous without a break!

Yes, it's an internet only company that bought the name & rights to the name. It has nothing to do with the old Montgomery Wards.

To the OP, I too would just buy a new pump instead of trying to fix that one.

Post some pics I may have the parts you are looking for.

I can give you casting numbers off of the crank and connecting rod if that will do for now. Numbers on connecting rod are VT-1-B and on the crank are VT-6 , UF-1 , 332 - 2 and 672 Number on housing of pump V shaped cooling finns. Would this be an old Campbell Hausfeld VT series compressor?
Thanks Alot

 

[Dave's]

The one number on my crankshaft is VT-6. This is simalar in respect!

i have the identical compressor. i also have the original owners guide for it with all the part #s etc that i can fax or copy for you if you like

 

[RoadBeater]

You might try campbell hausefield. They made most of the compressors for sears and others back then. I have an old green color sears compressor and they had the parts to fix it.

 

[Dave's]

If you would fax everythng to me i'd be grateful. Any info is better than none. Bye the way i found out that the Campbell Hausfeld model number is VT-4068 I'll send you a private with my phone#
Thanks Again

I had the same problem. Sounds like the Campbell Hausfeld VT series. Same number casted on my crankshat VT-6

 

[danielredoak]

Sorry to dig up an old thread but I have the same compressor but no information on cfm etc. Any chance someone could forward me the manual and anything else known about this particular unit?

Thanks!

 

[nehog]
