Info needed on old air compressor
I think it is an old Continental F head engine. Various sizes up to 162
cubic inches. http://www.stumpfweldingsupplies.com...aul_Manual.pdf I'm curious to see what the compressor part looks like. Probably some sort of turbine or rotary screw unit. If so, that would make it a later model Stormin Mormon wrote: Only thing I can figure, it's a gasoline powered gadget. But you knew that. The folks on the metal working group may recognize such a device. I'll copy them in. Anyone recognize this? |

What are those weld patches on? If that's the air tank, do NOT start the engine! This is a deathtrap, and the tank needs to be replaced. If that is an oil tank or separator, then make sure it doesn't see pressure, or back to the above. Jon |

"F" heads have rocker covers like an OHV. |
