Looking for anything I could find on this vintage air compressor please.

I received this older compressor and was looking for anything I could find on it.

A manufacturer, model, re-build kit, old manual, anything I can get really.

It seems to work well, it’s just for tires around the house.

It fills the tank, slowly. I replaced the, heat damaged I believe, one way valve, which helped. The old one was stuck and would flow air both ways.

The line feeding the tank does gets pretty hot, although I haven’t measured it.

Looks like an old Champion pump. Color and shape of crankcase along with fine pitch cooling fins are the clues.

I have one like it but it’s a three cylinder. No name or model number. It’s at a machine shop now getting bearings out.

Need help finding the smaller of the three piston and rod.

Thanks

Not a champion. It is an E.L.SMITH who as far as I know is out of business. Used to see them with an air conditioner type clutch on it & mounted under the hood of tire repair trucks.
