Detroit 3-53T (Ingersoll Rand Compressor)

Brought the compressor in the shop to finish off. It's been on the back burner for two years now, so time to finish it off.:) Here's a quick look at it and a little 2-53 action.:)

Wow, you cleaned out a lot of stuff in that shop. Couldn't even see the floor before. 😂😂

[@detroitgarage9430]

True, took a long time and still need to clean more.:)

[@rodneymiddleton9624]

[@detroitgarage9430]

detroit swap the world.. That's so cool. You have one in the forklift, hahah, what came with those 2 cylinder models ?

[@detroitgarage9430]

Lol, yes I swapped one into my Allis Chalmers forklift as well. The compressor will be the last industrial swap.:) After this one it's a 1947 DiamondT.:)

Does that turbo 353 blower need a bypass valve

[@detroitgarage9430]

The blower is a silver blower and has a bypass valve.:)

[@mikemarczynski6906]

How do I tell if mine is a silver or not I have a 353 with the four-speed transmission that I bought as a unit that supposedly came out of a truck but I have no idea what year it is or what it came out of the unit number is 3D6274

[@mikemarczynski6906]

None of these that I've ever worked on have anything marked where it says rated horsepower this three-cylinder just says maximum rpm no load 3000 RPM Governor mechanism is a type 590 which I'm assuming is a single weight limited speed throttle lever and a fuel shut off and my blower also has a mechanical shut valve on it I wish I knew of some place that I could go to where they would give what the engine codes mean all of my older manuals are gone except for the one I am thinking that my 4-cylinder generator set is a 471 not a 453 it has a casting on the block of 12 of 57 the four cylinder has the two spin on nuts that hold the valve cover on the three cylinder has a 4 bolt flange around the edge of the valve cover any information you could give me would be a great help I hope I'm not being a pain in the ass

@@mikemarczynski6906 No problem, if you send me a picture of the engine and serial number I can look it up and see what year it is. I can send you the manual as well. My email is [e-mail].:)
