The new bearing was pressed in at an auto shop nearby

Thanks for posting this. It helps me to see it done. I have a question. I have a similar model. However, compared to your repaired unit mine is extremely loud. Any ideas?

@351cleavland -I turned the sound back on the video a little, and YouTube may have "auto-turn-it-downed" on top of that.

These are loud air compressors, I always wear hearing protection when I use mine.

I have the exact same model as yours but mine the motor died.

@ruizhernandeztrustfi Be sure to check the electrical switches before throwing it out.

Wondering where you found just the piston "ring" seal by itself. All my attempts online say that you have to buy the entire rod/piston/seal/sleve lit for close to $50. All I need is the piston "ring" seal by itself. So if you have a part number and vendor name, please share.

Thanks,

Jim

@jrprich

 I just looked at the page where I ordered from -searspartsdirect Has changed things a little. If you look at the parts pages for VERY similar model numbers, they do list a part number for a sleeve kit, but they do not have a price listed, and suggest that one calls customer support for availability. You might find some success by calling them at 1-800-252-1698, suggesting you only want a sleeve kit for your model number, and offering your patience during a search for compatibility

any air compressor that marked OIL-LESS are useless, if you want a good compressor, get a compressor that uses oil, not those oil-less junk!!

Thanks for your response. Everytime the motor starts sparks comes from the inside of the motor in all directions. A friend of mine works repairing electrical motors and he will repair mine so my air compressor will back in business soon. I've checked the piston, piston rod, belt and ring seal and all parts are in good condition. Once I repair the air compressor I'll let you know. Thanks for your interest.

49.00 TO MUCH IN PARTS...JUNK! Just because you fix it long enough to sell dont mean its reliable....IT WILL FAIL AGAIN A.S.A.P. Sears compressors are junk now...throw it in the trash were they all belong and buy an oil/belt design compressor and dont worry about it failing when you need it most!. This is a patch not a repair.

@DAGSRSTINKS inherently the oiless sys has a magor flaw theres no oil so the piston and rings are prob. f*ct i had one it was a 2 cyl ti sucked so bad i took it a part to make a beter one =3-
