My brother and I found a Craftsman 1.5HP 3 Gallon 125 PSI compressor for $10 at an estate sale and we see if we can get it running again. The model number is 921.153101. We’ve watched enough KZfaq videos we should be experts at this now! Or at least be dangerous with the knowledge we have...
Below is a list of tools and other items we used to repair it, if you click one of the links it will take you to the item in case you would like to purchase it and we will get a small commission that will help us bring you more videos! Several of the tools we use come from Harbor Freight so if you have one near you, you can probably get those tools cheaper by going to the store instead of buying them from Amazon. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for this video. Helped me get my dad's almost identical compressor he bought in 2001 I believe, I found a 2001 tag on it. I inherited when he passed away. I only took the top piston plate off and oiled the piston and changed the oil as well. Sprayed lithium grease inside the fan motor kept turning the shaft with a vice grip until it freed up. Plugged it in and it's back to life!! Thanks again sir.

With this compressor design, it's very common for the top head gasket to fail at its weakest point where it seals between the two head chambers (intake and exhaust). When it blows out the compressor will reach about 20 to 40 PSI and then just keep running. I replaced the bad gasket on mine and it works great again.

I just did mine and then found this video. The plates went together easier for me because I put a dab of silicone grease on the reed valve and stuck it into it's groove on the upper plate before flipping the plate to install.

Thank you, this was great. The only hands on assembly for the compressor head. I like your style. I also enjoyed the conversation! I was also a holder of the flashlight when I was a kid for my Dad who would tackle anything. Probably a dying art nowadays. Lord I mis him.

Great video.wish I had seen this before I tackled mine. Same problem. But I have a bad oil leak at the crank case. May have over tightened it. She'll be right. I'll get it fixed. But we'll done.

The Harbor Freight Central Pneumatic Model 94734 is a knock-off of your Craftsman compressor. Same cylinder head. I'm battling it not coming up to pressure.

Another way to keep the inverted reed in place is to use a magnet-it worked great for me after replacing 2 of the gaskets, and the compressor worked the first time!!

Take a dab of silicone or grease to keep the reeds in place. Unscrew the pressure fitting from the head. It makes the job a little quicker .did you adjust the regulator for pressure?

Fan is loose on mine, too. It seems not to be an available part. Hmm... Fortunately everything else on mine was tight. Especially the connecting rod which was more than tight - it was seized.

I need to know how the cover comes off if one I have. Removed 3 screws in it. Need to know how to remove the cover to get to the motor and components on a craftsman 15 gal compressor.

I got air compressor just like that and it's somewhat seized but it seized at the connecting rod anybody know the correct way to pull that off

Looks like an allen bolt and locknut securing the crank to a slot in the motor shaft. Mine is seized at an inconvenient angle to get a wrench on the locknut - but more inconvenient is the price of the piston/crank kit (E100251 ?), which is about $75. I suppose if I want to spend that much, I can just use a cutoff wheel on the connecting rod to get it out of the way of the allen key/locknut.

I have tried and tried to watch this video. But I’m telling you what, I would drop my shit, and tell mr. know it all behind the camera to do it his self. But that’s just me. I can’t stand someone standing behind me, telling me what to do, I would get my stuff and go home. Don’t know why it would get up under my damn skin but Jesus does it
