Well, I went to Harbor Tools today and picked up a nice oil driven compressor 2 hp 2 gal tank for $100. Seller of unit bought on Ebay did offer to replace unit when I sent this one back. Don't really know if it is worth it.

I did perform the pressure checks today. Everything worked great EXCEPT the reverse piston would not move. I had a big time leak! I pulled it apart checked it and it is fine, Whe reinserting the piston into the housing with the seal protector, I noticed that the air pressure created gave way through the check valve. Checking more closely, the check valve looks like it is defective. Local transmission house will sell me a rebuilt reverse housing for 35 dollars. Heading over there now to pick it up!
