I still have it here , the compresser that is . I do have some manuals for it too . The problem is the exhaust valve seats in the Waukesha block are stuffed , they need replacing . A guy in town here has two of the compressers , same as mine . A lot of shires and Govt. authorities used them post WW2, Vic railways and SEC etc. . Some of them had a Ford V8 fitted instead of the Waukesha 4 cyl.
The air tank on mine was last tested in 1971 , I am rather dubious about its safety state . I have heaps of new manifold gaskets for the Waukesha , they came with it . Its quite a neat machine , with safety valves everywhere and a unloading system that disables the compession mode once a pre determined PSI is reached . It has a clutch too , you can disengage the motor . Also has a bosch magneto and a governer . Mike
