Im not even sure if its is worth the effort to convert? Like Mike's Dad I just like to hear them run. They have such a unique sound, a sound that most youth of today have never heard. Guessing I can actually use about a horsepower for the compressor leaving me with a .5 H.P. to play around with. Any idea what a typical use would be for a small motor like this? May a water pump, or some type of farm equipment?
