Bought a speedaire off of craigslist for $350 and need help to get it up and running. Seems like its seen minimal use and been taken care of, but ive got questions.
first off, its 3ph and im looking to replace the motor with single phase. its a us electrical motors 5hp 1735rpm. Any recommendations for a repleacement? ill be running 220v of course. Leeson? Not wanting to spend a ton of cash, but dont want chinese garbage.
also, there is a pipe coming off of the pump and i need help identifying. looks as if its been cut or broken on the plastic bit. is this just an exhaust or will this be an issue?
Any info of this compressor would be a huge help, as im a newbie with compressors. Not even sure of tank size. I would guess 60gal or bigger. This is an upgrade from my
1.5hp craftsman 26gal.
Thanks for the help in advance!
