Craftsman 6HP 60gal 919-152812 Pump has broken connecting rods

by Ken
(Yorktown NY USA)

After realizing the compressor was sounding VERY different, and would not build pressure, I took it apart and noticed that several parts of the pump eccentric, connecting rods, and squirrel cage are all shot.

Pump was manufactured in 1995 and had served flawlessly until now.

It appears Sears Direct does not carry these parts anymore. Do you know of another source? Looks like an easy repair if I can get them.
Thanks for a great site!

Ken, there is a real need for a supplier of compressor parts for the DIY compressor models, yet, in order to stock all the parts necessary, the cost of the part to the consumer would likely end up being too high, and folks wouldn't pay the price, I suspect.

I have posted this on the parts needed page. Sorry that Sears cannot help. Hope someone else can.

Good luck,

Bill
