Re: census manual
Quote:
You'll note that these same numbers are part of the code used on the manual for that particular equipment. There also exists the Equipment configuration codes (ECC), which will identify particular variations like IKEE installation. These are a bit more confusing than the EMCs. |

The compressor looks like a Compair 175 made by Holman. We had similar ones where I work.

Air Compressor
Compair Compressor it is, they added checker plate fenders and set the unit on a generating trailer chassis, big time overkill. I picked one up at crown assets about 5 yrs ago. My only problem with the unit was the starter a 24 volt oddball that was still garbage after putting 300 bucks into it. I managed to find a 12 volt delco and for now it's a 12/24 mix.
I can still remember towing it home 45 miles in a december snowstorm after working graveyard shift, No brakes on the unit and a 4x4 1/2 ton towing it, I had no trouble stayin awake that morning! Kirk |
