and as to your comment DPC3404 i know you still make them there just not the same, you cant beat the old ajax's very dependable and super easy to overhaul
@Fendt22090 - Stop by the factory sometime and we'll show you all the changes - we can still make 98% o fthe parts and upgrades we make today fit the first unit built in 1958
I have 1 of these on my route (Ajax), They are dinosours but they hardly ever go down...usually becouse of no feul gas from the cust./feild is the only time they go down. This is one of the many kind of Gas lift compressors i work on. Big love from Texas. Shawn
Living in Oklahoma all my life, my dad use to tell me that they were "indian drums" when we would hear them off in the distance. Lots of great memories. Thanks for posting. These are getting few & far between around here now...
The one above is 1/2 of a 230. It's a DPC-115.

My favorite was the DPC-230. We had 3 of them in our yard.

I get sent to work on a DCP800 every now and then, that one is not reliable like the little ones.

Engine on one side, compressor on the other. These things make an incredible amount of power- some up to 800HP.
