Bendix was kind enough to give me the number to the people they use to rebuild their compressors, but their price is astronomical. $522.00 plus tax to be exact. So I bought an International Harvester compressor off of eBay that I thought looked similar. Turns out it's a bit larger and has more port holes than the TU-FLO. Where the TU-FLO has four port holes this one has five. Does anyone know if I will be able to use this compressor and which port holes to use?

"port holes" doesn't tell the story, there may be inlet and outlet for water cooling [each side of the head], lube inlet and outlet [in the 'crankcase'], and one place for air outlet, with a smaller nearby aux port for the unloader function ... you need to identify what the ebay compressor actually is, rather than just what it's from, you might find it's made by Bendix, the most common ... you might be able to ID it using the pics in this catalogBill | | | | | Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 127 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 127 | It has an International Harvester part number of 276468-C93. It does come up the Bendix catalog, but I was not able to get the info I needed off of that.

Only more cfm like 400, 501, 550, etc. If your pulley will fit it, you can make it work. They all have a bunch of extra port holes that you plug with 1/8" pipe plugs. The number is probably an old IH number that is meaningless, but as long as it is a belt driven compressor, you can make it work. | | |
