Wallfish 698 #26 Posted October 14, 2019 You found the right place! You found someone looking for one too as I'm definitely interested in it. There are some compressors around but the compressors aren't common. There are certainly both more common and more rare O&R tools out there but they fall in the more rare spectrum. You can download a manual for it in the manuals sticky thread. Scroll down and you will see "Orline Compressor" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wallfish 698 #27 Posted October 14, 2019 Here's an earlier thread posted on compressors. The manual is also linked by factory in one of the posts in the thread Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CNew 404 #28 Posted October 14, 2019 Nice find- I’ve been looking for one of those for a long time and never seen one come up, seem to be pretty rare. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pmackellow 2,738 #29 Posted October 15, 2019 Thats nice ! I bought just the engine and base in the UK some time ago and was lucky to find the correct compressor in the US, so completing the set... Paul Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That looks in very nice condition, they don't turn up very often (maybe no-one can identify them once the decals wear off or get damaged), I'm still looking for one too, not seen another in the UK apart from the one Paul rebuilt with the compressor from an electric Speedy Sprayer (made by WR Brown). https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=ASYDAAAAMBAJ&lpg=PP1&lr&pg=PA217#v=onepage&q&f=false The Orline advert shows it with a sprayer (part of an accessory kit comprising of a spray gun, hose & tire chuck). The instructions and parts diagram for this compressor can be found in the manuals sticky thread. David Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JUST O&R 237 #31 Posted October 17, 2019 Nice find someday hope to run up one. Ive never seen one for sale. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
K-TRON 24 #32 Posted November 1, 2019 That is so cool, I have never seen or heard of one of these before. Does anyone have a working example? I would so love to see one of these inflating a tire or charging a small air tank. I am a bit surprised at the 1700rpm compressor speed. That is awfully fast. The piston in the compressor must be smaller than what the O&R has....Very very cool. Now I need to add one of these to my want list. Sears sold a Power Products two cylinder engine which was half air compressor back in the 1950s. It was the smallest gas powered air compressor I heard of until I saw this.

factory 487 #33 Posted November 1, 2019 These compressors don't have a piston, it uses a rubber diaphragm instead. The speedy sprayer versions were sold without motors for around $30 in the early 1960's, see the google books link in post #5 for the 1961 advert. Anyone fancy a challenge, there is a speedy sprayer on ePay at the moment for $40 (or make offer), remove the 1725 R.P.M. motor and add the appropriate O&R engine. Only problem is it's pick-up/collection only from Louisville, Kentucky; https://www.ebay.com/itm/143159860677 David Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

factory 487 #35 Posted November 5, 2019 Maybe they can be persuaded to ship it , it'd probably help a bit if they removed that heavy electric motor too, it would have gone long ago if it wasn't pick-up only. David Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

factory 487 #37 Posted November 16, 2019 The engine with gearbox is a Type 216, as mentioned in the compressor parts list available in the sticky thread.

factory 487 #39 Posted November 16, 2019 According to the 1971 Series 13A price list (special types), engine Type 216 has a 1700 R.P.M. single reduction gearbox with centrifugal clutch. It looks very similar to the Type 195 (H-III) but with the fuel/gas tank fitted on the opposite side to normal (i.e. below the carb), the Type 216 uses fuel/gas tank part number #A-32-30 with bracket #97-12.

factory 487 #41 Posted March 20, 2021 Will have a look through the information I have, another one to look for is the 13B Type 295. David Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
factory 487 #42 Posted March 20, 2021 The Orline Hedge trimmers have a reduction gearbox with the same gears (66 tooth & 18 tooth), if your looking for engine types that may have been removed from these on ePay, search for types 13A183, 13A208, 13A224 and 13B259.

CNew 404 #43 Posted March 20, 2021 Thanks David! I thought I had a used gearbox like this but turns out I don’t. I have an engine I think I can use but need to figure out what to do for a gearbox. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
factory 487 #44 Posted March 20, 2021 Was your used gearbox from a chainsaw by any chance? those are the same reduction but the PTO is on the wrong side for the compressor. David Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CNew 404 #45 Posted March 20, 2021 Exactly. I had forgotten the PTO was flipped. At first I thought the compressors just had direct drive until I looked a little closer, I wasn’t expecting it to use a gear box. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Found this NOS gear sitting in the parts stash The shaft will be lower rather than up higher but it should work if you want to try flipping the PTO in your chainsaw case. I've never tried it but always wanted too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CNew 404 #47 Posted March 24, 2021 Interesting idea - thanks! Would you just have to drill out the opposite side of the cover plate for the shaft to go through? Not sure how you would reorient the little bearings that ride on the short section of the shaft(I’m trying to think by memory) but I’ll have to take a closer look at this tonight. I’m intrigued though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wallfish 698 #48 Posted March 24, 2021 There's a welch plug in the closed end. remove and reuse it for the other side to close the end and the bearings should all be the same. No need to change them. Plug and play except for moving the welch plug from one side to the other for the closed end. It may be easier said than done for that plug as I have never removed one. YET The NOS gear on the left in the pic will be flipped 180 so the shaft goes out through the end of your box which has the plug in it now. I'm about 99% sure it will work.

Wallfish 698 #49 Posted March 24, 2021 Just went and had a better look. That doesn't seem to be a plug to close the end so it will need to be drilled and then use something to seal the other end Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
