I had my compressor take a dump. It has been making noise for some time now so it was expected. I am going to build one to put out the air I need this time. I have a 60 gallon tank to start with. I have been looking around for pumps and came across eaton pumps on ebay direct from the maker. Any other pumps I should look at for under $400?

Can only comment that I am happy with the Eaton pump on my compressor and several others have posted good things about them. Another make of pumps is Puma, but no feedback on them.

Not that is matters, but where is the Eaton pump built? I am guessing China or India.

Here is a link to the pump that may fit your needs?http://www.eatoncompressor.com/catalog/item/518643/191079.htm

Good luck!

I have a tank that is in need of a pump, and Eaton came most highly reccomended (if a used/rebuildable Quincy (etc) could not be found. They are somewhat close to me, so once I scrounge a motor I will go over there and pick one up. They look like the best deal going as far as specs for the price. I will report back once I get one, but it will probably be spring at the earliest.
I would say get one and see how it does. Even their cheapie pumps look to be a step up from the norm.

I've heard only good comments on Eaton

Check their eBay store against their website or retail store. Some eBay items include free shipping.

Interesting. They claim to build them but I wonder where they get the parts.

Take a look at their home page--In the upper righthand corner. It shows a globe. The Pacfic Rim is clearly displayed. Why would they do that?

I will be getting one in the next few weeks as I am on borrowed air sorta speak. I bought a small 26 gallon one to hook up to just the mill till I get the other one running again.
