A friend was given a true 5hp 80 gal compressor, but it feels like it has a broken rod. I think we found a sanborn label under the paint that someone sprayed all over it. We have not torn down the pump yet, since we don't know if it is even worth messing with.
I was hoping that someone here could id the pump or let me know if there may be numbers on any of the parts. I do not see any id stamped into the pump, unless the paint is just hiding it. That black cap over the crank location looks like it may say made in Italy. Another tag has info to contact for service and the address listed is Department WCB PO Box 129 Springfield MN....just in case this gives some clue. I think the tag on the tank was from the mid 80's, so I assume the pump is that old as well.
Right now my friend's 25 gallon compressor hardly gets used in his shop (more of a storage place for business equipment) so I doubt he wants to spend a lot of money on this machine, but if we can repair it for a decent price, he might run it or flip it.
