[Shop-talk] Air Compressor threw a rod

[alfuller194 at gmail.com]

So I bought a Sears Craftsman 6.5 HP 2-cylinder oil-less air compressor
used. Since I bought it used, I don't know how old it is, or how it was
used. Recently I fired it up and it began making a noise, so I shut it down,
and found lots of plastic parts on the shop floor. Upon inspection, it has
thrown a rod on one cylinder. The plastic parts were from the fan.  The
issue is finding a connecting rod and cylinder kit for it, since it appears
to no longer be made/sold, and sears parts direct doesn't have the parts.

 

The Sears Craftsman model # is 919-165600, and it looks like it was also
sold as a DeVilblis 919-16560, as well as lots of other makes and models.
The connecting rod is an ACG-1.

 

Some people claim there are only about 3-4 different cylinder
configurations, so I guess my question is what would be a good source for
locating parts for this thing? I've looked around Amazon, E-Bay, etc. and so
far have found one kit, but its $139 for a single cylinder! See
