I need a second portable air compressor to haul out into the orchard. So I

made to run on an electric motor a sittin' on the shelf.

Do they make/sell change parts to run an air pump on a small engine? it must
be simple but I'm not sure what is needed.

Check almost any tractor-trailer truck, or air brake, shop. They will
know all about it and have the parts.

But, if memory hasn't failed me, the unloader simply unloads the
compressor when system pressure reaches the "set" value.
