Dayton is the house brand of WW Grainger used across many products, their electric motors are very popular for general use industry. ( Baldor is one of the really HD brands however )
This compressor is a real 3/4 HP as opposed to the 2 HP rated generics. It is also reconnectable to 230 making it a good value. A pressure switch isn't to fix the no shut off expensive. ( assuming it is actually getting to pressure and beyond )
Regardless, the compressor our guy has needs attention first.

It is a matter of 'horses for the courses'. The OP wants to do leak down test and some suspension work. It does not make sense to buy an used one of unknown condition, though it may be name brand, fix it up ( if it is fixable ) and do a simple job. It looks like the OP is spending a lot of time to find one, fixing it with new parts, testing it and then hopefully to use it. It is not an effective way to spend one's time and money. The real engine/valves testing job is push back. If it were me, I would just spend the $100 on a reasonable hobbyist compressor from HF and get the job done. My $0.02. The OP can do what he likes, his money and time.
