I have an oil free compressor. 5hp, 60 gal tank.
Have rebuilt the twin cyl pump several times over the last 15 years, and it has always worked well until recently.
I am giving up on the pump assy.
Motor has a standard 5/8 shaft, and see no reason to give up on the motor.
Saw this pump on ebay, and am considering converting to regular (oil) pump.

I don't see any reason I can't adapt my motor to run this pump and plumb it to the tank. Am I missing something?
Thanks for any input.
