Compressor ID help
Just got a old air compressor, its a JD Cochin MFG on the pump. V twin with one cylinder bigger than other. Made 10/57. Has anyone heard of it? Would like to find a manual for it or whatever I can find about it. The tank looks to be about 100-150 gal size. Its missing elc motor the everything else on it is like new. Thanks for your help.

Re: Compressor ID help
Although I don't have details, I can give you some general info: Your compressor is a 2 stage unit - the large cylinder compresses the air to about 85 PSI, the air usually is run thru some type of cooler (a coil in front of a fan), and then the second - smaller cylender compresses that air up to tank pressure (usually between 125 and 150 PSI). I think you will need at least a 1 HP motor, if not larger.
