I know at least one of you on here probably know a ton of stuff about air compressors. I’m having a hard time identifying a pump on a vintage champion compressor I picked up. I need to order seals for it and I don’t want to dick around ordering the wrong stuff. So… can any of you help?
1961 date code Champion model TUV55 80
This thing looks like absolute hell but the inside of the tank is really nice so I’d like to keep it in service. I’m going to pull it apart to reseal the pump and will hydro test the tank at the same time. Best I can tell, it was purchased new and shoved through an exterior wall of an out building into a closet. I could see outside light from inside when I picked it up so I’m guessing it was very damp in there. Smelled a little musty but not bad.
The pump is leaking oil from somewhere, hence the tank looking so grimy. It’s literally coated in gooey compressor oil.
