Yall, this is a little project I got attached to while waiting for castings for my Peters water pump I saw this little air compressor on Smokstak and I thought it'd be fun. The picture was labeled FBM... so with a grain of salt it may be thought to be a Fairbanks Morse product.
We seem to want to display our engines doing something, and it's a quick easy build so I figured why not.

That looks like a great project! Did the post on smokstak have diagrams or plans?

Interesting how they completely split the "crankcase" along the bearing line, should make a nice project. Could add a different head and do a conversion into an engine :stickpoke:
Was this the thread or are there more of them about?

Looks like someone had the same idea as me about making it as an engine.
