Have a Schramm commercial air compressor. The motor was rebuilt in the 70's started and then parked. It has never been used again. The oil looks brand new in the motor. Does anyone have any use for it? I know nothing about it. It has set outside for as long as I can remember.

Any idea about the engine? Stuck? Brand? Any pics?

I have a 6 cylinder that I bought at auction about 20 yrs ago, I use it for sandblasting it holds 125# at the tank with a 1/4" nozzle at an idle. It is a Schramn 3 pushers 3 pumpers.

Took some pictures today. Send me an email address and I'll send the ones I could get. The side slide doors on the side I could not get open. The best I could see it is a 4 cylinder flat head and a 2 piston comp.

Thanks for the update! Since the power plant is often in fair shape and is common with other machines they make a great source for spiffing up an old tractor that has obsolete parts. But since I don't have anything that goes with a 4 cylinder flat head... well, thanks for the effort. Much appreciated. :)

Doing a little research, I came up with the information that the engine in there is a Buda engine.

Thanks Rich. I hope to get the slide doors open to see it better.
