compressor questions

[mopar]

this is for a shop air compressor ... not the one for the a/c in the jeep :D

does the large pulley (flywheel i am told) on the compressor have to have the "fan blades" made into it are those there to help aid in cooling the compressor as it is running ?

i can get a direct replacement but its going to cost 320 bucks or i can just get a regular pulley for like 170


long story short 80 gal upright tank with 120 lbs of motor and 160 lbs of compressor pump .... well they are very top heavy and when your lazy and try and load them on a trailer without taking said motor and pump off of the tank they tend to fall over on you and then in panic get pushed off and fall and things break

My stepfather did that last year and it earned him a trip to the ER and numerous stitches. :eek: :doh:

is it bent? broke?

[mopar]

there are 6 spokes .... 4 of them are cracked right at the hub and its all the way through

if it was cast steel i would weld it but its cast iron

i think i have a flywheel for you the graingers link says it is 16 1/2" in diameter is that correct and what is the shaft size

[mopar]

that is correct 16.5 roughly .... and i THINK the shaft is 1 1/8 but i could be wrong on the shaft diameter ... but i can find out for sure

it is also a dual belt pulley

i have got one too and believe me it is tempting but i would hate for it to come un glued down the road and hurt someone

Machine Shop? can they fix it?

they would not touch it i called a few and they all said it was not something they would try

[mopar]

i think i have a flywheel for you the graingers link says it is 16 1/2" in diameter is that correct and what is the shaft size
