Re: Replacing Air Compressor Motor and Pump



For a new air compressor, you might check with Eastwood  restoration  materials and tools. I have never bought any of their higher priced tools, but would think they would be OK.  Also Northern Tool Warehouse has retail stores in many city's...................................MO

I have a fairly inexpensive 26 gallon Craftsman vertical oil-less compressor that works OK but would not be my first choice if I had to use it a lot.  Very noisy and cheap gauge.  However, one big improvement I made to it was to replace the drain cock with a ball valve similar to what is described in this link.  It works super.

I bought a compressor from Harbor Freight.  It is not an oil-less model and it is still very loud.  Also I have doubts as to whether it produces the advertised capacity as it won't even come close to keeping up with my diegrinder.  It also calls for 30 wt. non-detergent oil.  So in the winter I have to use a heat gun to warm it up as the oil is too thick and it won't start, just pops the breaker.  It also developed a leak in the pressure switch, which I repaired and has held so far.

My 5+ year old 60gal Craftsman oilless air compressor pump has thrown three set of rods in quick order (why?). Sears replacement pump/motor combo seems too expensive. 

 

So, I am looking for a source for a separate pump and compressor to retrofit to the tank. This is for my home garage. Mostly, the heaviest load I use it for are impact wrenches but I do have a sandblaster. I'm thinking 10 cfm at 90 psi will be enough.

 

I'm leery of Harbor Freight and was thinking of Northern Tools or Grainger. 

 

Any suggestions and pointers would be very much appreciated.
