Just picked up a Davey MC-7 Compressor that I would like to run through maintenance wise. Nice unit with 850 Hours. I have a few questions that isnt covered in the TM Posted in another thread on this site.
1- What is a Filter PN for the airend? Davey does not seem to sell these filters OE, a sticker on the old filter says its 86810 which crosses with a Baldwin BT237. I wouldn't have a problem using this filter, but the sticker also reads use of "automotive oil filters are incompatible and will void warranty" The BT237 oil filter is the same filter that does engine oil on another piece of equipment that I own (Hercules D4800 engine)
2-What Fluid should the Air End take? I read in another thread that AW46 Hydraulic oil is acceptable for use for vane type compressor heads, but is it the correct fluid for this model? IR Screw Compressors take ATF, and personally I have never heard of hydraulic fluid being used in any air compressor.
3-What model engine is in this machine? I would like to know as a reference point for parts ordering.
4-Does this machine need SCA Additive coolant? It is a diesel, but it seems to have fresh green standard coolant in it. I would like to know if it needs to be switched over to a ELC Coolant immediately or it can wait until a later time.
Thoughts would be appreciated and thanks in advance!
