Westinghouse t-1 Part Question

Post by Bill Norris » Wed Nov 01, 2017 6:19 am

I recently acquired a t-1 I am going to mount on my Jeep. It is missing a few parts though. I am wondering about the 'cap' that fits on the discharge tube that covers the tube when not in use. Is it made of metal or is it like a rubber plug?

Thanks,
Bill

Thanks Warren, that is very interesting.

I also forgot to ask, mine is missing the 'strainer.' Would anyone have a detailed picture of one with measurements?

Thanks,
Bill

Warren,

I'd be interested if you would be willing to sell it.

THanks,

T-1 WABCO Compressor, I had the opportunity to work for Westinghouse Air Brake and located in the drawing vault some original test specs. and drawings for the T-1. The tip that seals the compressor where the hose hooks up was made of Rubber with a small screw eye type end so you could attach a safety chain. I hope to someday write an article on the T-1. I have mine mounted on my MB along with a Capstan Winch, a little machining but all works. Last year I had to use the T-1 to pump up a horse trailer while in a parade. The T-1 worked well but gets pretty hot. The manual says it will pump up to 70 PSI. Good Luck

Thanks for responding.

Is there any chance you have a drawing of the mounting bracket to attach it to a pulley drive on a CJ2A? That is my ultimate goal. I have yet to find an original to copy. Like the picture on the left below.

Thanks,
Bill

CJ 2 rear power take off mounting bracket for the T-1, sorry the WABCO files only address WWII trucks, one of the drawing shows a mounting bracket for a Studebaker 6X. The MB / GPW had a 2 piece mounting bracket. After the WWII WABCO sold the T-1 mounted on a 2X6 with an electric motor. While digging through the drawers I found an original brass wing nut and one rubber seal cap for the hose connection. I hope to write an article sometime and share more of the test information.

Can anyone tell me how long the air hose is that came with these?

An ad in this 1951 Popular Mechanic's Magazine says 25' hose.
