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.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">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.
