Old Air Compressor ID ??

OK me and the wife went for a quick excursion up into
the Black Hill of SD. And while we were there I was looking for
Estate and Garage sales. we were in Rapid City and I found this.
the tank is an old oxygen tank from WW-2 , I think
this thing looks home made, but done really pretty well.
anybody seen one like this ,
I payed $15.00 and it works great !!

Looks like something someone cobbled up. Pump is Campbell-Hausfeld and the air tank is a surplus low pressure oxygen tank out of a WWII B-17 or B-24 bomber.

For 15 bucks I wouldn't have left it behind either. That said, I would find a better solution to fastening the tank to the frame other than a nylon strap.

Great find.

Yep,. 1st off a good cleaning. fab up a couple straps for the tank
and replace some of the fittings. And a fresh coat of paint, and an oil change.
