| Not sure that 2 HP would be enough. It's a preety good sized compressor. Not set up for 3 phase anyway. Thanks. | |

| If you could get something in the 3 to 5 horse single phase range, that would be great. It has a chineese 3 HP motor on it now and it works preety hard when it gets up to preasure and even harder in the winter. | |

| Whats the RPM? Can you change the size of the pulley? I take it it's a belt drive.
There should be a frame number on the nameplate, too. I take it it's 110v or is it 220V? I may have something kicking around in the motor lab, but I want be able to look for at least a week when I get back to work. | |
