Compressor pump rebuild parts?

[Brandy]

Anyone have a line on some? This is the victim.

What brand!

What brand!

I found a picture on line that is identical to mine and it's a Saylor-Beall 5 HP- 175 PSI max.

US Compressor maybe

Ok, figured it out, it is an LP 205 (LaPlante), 200 PSI max 31 CFM. It's mounted on a Brunner tank with a 5HP Baylor motor.

Electrical problem or pump problem?

Pump putting oil into the air stream. Runs great, built like a tank but I need dry air, or at least oil free.

Sound like the pump needs a new set of rings

If it's a good compressor then I would rebuild it,I like the old stuff and it may be as simple as a broken ring but I doubt it. Do you use good heavy weight single viscosity oil or the el-cheapo stuff,if so maybe try some straight 40 weight or?. This won't fix the problem but it will reduce the oil usage unless the barrels/pistons are fu$ked up. Automotive machine shops generally rebuild comps., at least they do around here, may have to look for the right place in your area. good luck on the good old stuff, its all worth saving and looks great in your shop all painted and cleaned up plus just anyone can buy a 400.00 Nancy comp. Oh yeah, many mower engines/comp. pumps use those cheap *** "flapper valves" made of textile/rubber on the head and upper valve housing and when they go south "and they do", you'll blow sh%t everywhere. Good luck at saving a pc. of USA.

I sent an inquiry to LP about it, and one to another company too that may be able to help. I'll be saving it for sure though, I like it, it is built to last, unlike todays crap. I can get a NEW pump to replace it but it's $399.99 + $150 shipping.
