    It has a 3 speed trans and a twin stick transfer with a warn over drive. There is a air gauge on the dash with a 150 max. I think if you run the compressor on 12v it will build adequate air to 150 ish... I soaked the pistons and finally got them out....shame the walls had no ridge and all the bearings look like new. Was in very good shape when parked. I also killed the park rat and his whole family!

    This is fun, can't wait to see the outcome. Has anyone ask the owner if he wanted it? At 1,500 psi, if that tank lets go it would flip the Jeep over.

    Might want to get your boy scout troupe together and take a field trip out where you found the jeep. Looking for a body. If that had been mine, the only way I would leave it would be if I was dead. Or it was stolen and dumped.
    Just my 2 kopeks worth.

    Well actually you are correct. The guy was kind of a hermit or salvage collector. There were lots of forklifts, old cars and lots of junk. He passed away and the family let me take the jeep.

    While it was real nice to read the data plate. When you remove it please document everything with a photo for each step. I do not want to add to those who want yours. I want that system. I think I have a parts source with the guys rebuilding the WW2 airplane locally.

    I didn't see it anywhere else, but it looks like it also has the late '70-'71 flanged axle housing. Killer jeep to say the least. Sell the compressor to finance the rest!

    This compressor is just too small and low psi to be useful for SCUBA. I have a surplus Ingersoll 4R15 that was originally used to fill shipboard high pressure vessels for catapult launches. It was originally rated for 3000psi, but I highly modified it to run to 5000psi, something to do with it being under-rated and repowering it with a 10 hp motor and spinning it up more than 500 rpm. I also have a small Stewart Warner Southwind 4 cfm ex-military unit that won't go much past its rated 3000psi. It blows head gaskets and burst discs. Both of these were extensively used by me for SCUBA fills.
    This Cornelius likely wouldn't come close to 4cfm as the 3rd stage piston is about 3/8", and these multi-stage compresors feed each consecutive stage progressively. Now, if the second and third stages were disabled, then that larger bore first stage only could put out much more than the rated 0.4 cfm at 150 psi; but probably closer to 2.5 cfm.
    Either way, that is a neat addition having a surplus 24V DC aircraft compressor and tank setup. Much higher "cool factor" than an a/c compressor.

    "DIY SCUBA" ... to me, that makes about as much sense as "DIY surgery." :confused:

    Interesting thought on the stages. The one stage doing more work would of course result in higher temperature components and air. That would be the downfall of the compressor. It would be interesting to see the result since high pressure wouldn't be the target, just more volume. Multiple stages allow compressors to flow more volume since the gas pushed doesn't get as hot due to compression being gradually increased and cooled during each stage of compression.
