Well my 2 hp air master portable air compressor like the pic shit the blanket today.
 I`m sure it`s not worth trying to fix it so I`d like to get a replacement.
 I`m only interested in US made units.
 Looking for recommendations.
Or is it worth rebuilding? I think it seized up.

We use the smaller compressors at the plant for air supplies for our bubbler level controllers. we get about a year out them and when they crap out we just toss them and get a new one. I keep a replacement in the toolroom. Way too cheap to try and repair BUT we get the cheapo craftsman or now the cheapo Lowes brand. I'm sure they're chinamese. American made may be worth repairing IDK.

For being a junk import unit yourself, you're sure picky about Made in USA.  :D

The main shop compressor at work is a Quincy screw made in Italy. Been a good machine so far, but it's only 3 years old and just shy of 7k hrs.

Mi-T-M makes a top self pressure washer, and I'd expect their compressors to be held to the same standard. I think USA too. https://www.mitm.com/industrial/air-compressors/portable-air-compressors/

Call up Portland Air Compressor. They have parts for most compressors are pretty good prices.

I`ve got an email into the local place in Seattle I`ll see what they say. if its worth doing ill hit that Portland place up.

So I separated the pump from the frame and I can spin the flywheel easily by hand so the pumps not seized.
What happened when I turned it on it started up very slowly then sped up a bit and them stopped blowing the fuse in the house, it did dull the lights a bit before it stopped.
Any clues?
