I acquired a compressor and was told by original purchaser that it was a Sanborn air compressor 30 gallon, oiled unit, 110v…he bought from tractor supply some years ago.
There aren’t labels at all and I need wheels and filters, etc for it. How can I actually determine the brand and model, thanks Gavin M.

Good luck.

I was recently given, I believe, a Sanborn air compressor. As you can see in the pictures, it’s caked with mud which I’ve somewhat removed. Unfortunately, under all of the mud, there seems to be layers of what I assume to be spray paint. I’m not sure as to what the original color is but I can tell you that I see red, black, and a teal (light bluish green) color present.
