That pump looks like a Speedaire. Most old Sears units used them. You should be able to get parts for the pump at any good compressor repair shop. They're usually a lot cheaper than Sears.

mine looks just like yours but with rattier paint and no sissy pulley guard. The date code is listed as the "MFG NO." on the plate below the compressor. Mine is 8/ 64

That is NEW paint --- my "artful" skills at work. I even took off the pulley guard and painted the inside area. I do NOT like seeing rust. And there's a reason why "modern machinery" has guards. I want to keep all of my fingers.

kinda off topic but not quite
Not to hijack,
I have a 60 gal horizontal tank w/o a compressor motor on it, and a 25gal craftsman compressor and tank (circa 99' +/- ) im thinking if i keep the compressor in the back shed (totally enclosed building) and run say a 1/2 or 3/4 line 60 feet or so up to the garage where i wrench on Rudolph into the 60gal tank (for a large air supply for air tools) would that work well or am i doing overkill?

You could plumb it up and just try it out. You may find that you run out of air and the compressor basically runs constantly. Don't ask me how I know this. Sandblasting uses a ton of air.

Cleaned up the pump, including all 4 valves, reassembeld and the pump and Baldor motor are back on the tank. Still need to align, and install the guard. Need about 45 feet of 8/3 to go from the panel in the house out to the garage which is about $100 at Lowes. Still need to change the oil.

If your output of air is more than the input, then you will run out of air. And when you run out of air and are in the middle of something you can wait. Then duty cycle comes in and stuff gets hot like the motor and the head. I'm not trying to sound all doom and gloom, I beat on my last compressor, and had to wait sometimes. It will be interesting to see what this one does. Piece what you have together and try it out, but really the most important thing in sizing is CFM output of the compressor and what you CFM requirements are of the tools you will be using. Tank size just buys you a little time until you run low on air.
