I have looked on my air compressor disk, and can not find this compressor. so, is there on the data plate, a TM number? or TO number? If I had that, then I can access the LOGSA and look for it.

These are cool little machines.

I had a friend-of-a-friend say one day recently "You collect old military stuff? I've got something at my place for you".
The price was "...free, if you promise to fix it up".
Can't beat that, so fix it up I shall. Came with two extra wheels/tires and an aircraft tow-bar of some sort.

I have a raggedy paper civilian manual that came with it, looking forward to seeing a military one if y'all find it.

The stock number on mine has -082- where yours says -083-, serial #29078. Looks to be a 1980 build. It has an Onan engine, rather than a Lycoming.

Cheers

I haven't forgot you Partner. I just got a mail from a Zoomi Senior Master Sergeant I know. Tech guy. He told me, that the air force bought lots of these things, but didnt want to spend the money to make military TM's for them. So they only had civilian tech books. If I can dig up something more, will do!

Here is the front of the manual that came with mine, which looks like a photocopy of a photocopy. You might try contacting the folks written in pen at the bottom to see if they can help you.

Cheers

I do. I was saying Onan because there is one of their nameplates on the engine, just visible in the first picture. Wasn't aware that they used other folks stuff.

These are what I had in the computer, when I go out to the farm tomorrow I can take better ones, if you need them. The compressor is in a container out there awaiting it's turn in the beauty parlour. ;)

Cheers

Very well! Thanks for the information. I have access to avgas, and run it in the mule, which does NOT like the alcohol besotted rubbish that comes out of regular gas pumps.

Meanwhile, if you need info out of that manual, let me know. I can check into having it copied for you if you don't find one.

Cheers
