Aux compressor

Works better than OEM compressor. I guess I need new OEM compressor. 30 minutes for OEM 15 minutes with aux compressor. Just for you Craig.

John,

If your saying it takes 30 minutes to air up with your engine driven compressor, there is a problem.

Jriddle · September 07, 2010, 07:26:26 PM

Yep there is a problem. Need good OEM compressor for a MCI/TMC MC-9 with 6V92.

I'm a little confused too, do you have one of these driven off your crank:

John,

The best deal on a rebuilt I found was from JR at REI (Rebuilders Enterprise Industry) as I posted somewhere else today (800 489-9860). They charge more for the core than they do for the compressor but will give you some time to get it back to them before they run the core charge. They rebuild DD3's also for about half of what I paid for my set. Although my compressor seemed alright, we changed it when the engine was out in the hope of avoiding having to wrestle with it sometime in the future. The new one pumps much faster than the old one did.

Roy,

no, on mine the crank does the driving.

Thanks Lin.
I have been looking on EBay and they have a store there. For MCI $335.00 or best offer. Thanks to you I have a number and contact person I will give that angle a try.

John, if that is a Tu-Flo 700, that is a heck of a deal!!!

John, if the compressor doesn't have the Bendix rebuild tag on it I would save my money there are some crappy rebuilt compressors on the market a good one will cost a little more but well worth it IMO

good luck

I will be taking my time on this one.

You might want to try cleaning and rebuilding your governor. I had an issue with mine once where it would not air up properly. I eventually cleaned it, greased it, and replaced the o-rings and it
has been working great for 6 or 7 years. The new one I bought to replace it is riding around in the toolbox for a spare.

Usually, one of the signs of a worn out compressor is oil passing through and coming out the dryer discharge. If you don't have that, you might just have a sticky governor.

Might be worth a try. Certainly cheaper than a new compressor.
