I had no idea that DV still makes their parts in Canada. Surprised and glad all at once. Ours is needing a ring change and it the most work will probably be finding the parts!
Excellent work. You took a compressor, the pump had some broken and worn out parts. You replaced the necessary parts. Now the compressor runs as good as new. Nice paint job too.
Great job Brian. That compressor took me back 30 years, when as an AC mechanic, working at NASA AMES, I was cross trained on air compressors. That exact model was my first rebuild.
If it performs as good as it sounds I think you have a winner!Really enjoyed the Video.The competition Orange Paint and Chrome Nuts really adds a nice Touch.Keep the videos coming.God Bless!
Thanks for sharing Brian looks badass! Sometimes I do wish we got to see at least a time laps of the work rather than just before and afters. Seems like we get to see a lot of the work on machining vids, but none on builds or other projects. Never the less really enjoy the channel and appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us. Thanks Brian!
Filming the machining stuff is easy because it is very localized and much of it can be done mostly hands free. The stuff that takes 2 hands and is all over the place really would need another person to film. I need to figure out if my camera can do time lapse. I will work on it.
Tripods are cheap buddy, I'd be happy to help with that if it would help, but I know that that's not the main problem. I wish I was better at editing so I could offer to help with that. I like I said I really enjoy your channel either way and appreciate you sharing your skills, I know I've learned more than a few things from you......ambition and work ethic if nothing else.... Anyone who would take on a project like the barn/shop more -or less- by himself and follow through with it, everyone could learn from. Thanks Brian
I always have a heck of a time with NPT sealing. Doesn't seem to matter if I use tape, teflon sealant or other exotic sealants. I alway revert back to tightening the crap out of it. I like the chrome acorn nuts, and the noise is significantly less than pre-build. Damn good looking unit. Nothing made today looks remotely like that. Love the big honkin coolers between the stages and the air filter. Just looks cool. I'd have it on display above.
Like threadlocker (red/blue)? I'm smacking my head right now. Taken more than a few apart that had threadlocker applied and never thought of using it myself. Guess I was thinking more vibration than sealing.
Lucky u found parts for that old pump..I know a guy who was told , no parts to old..make Shure u change the oil at least once a yr minimum..I own a saylor Beall.. industrial compressor..made in St John's , Mich..all American made. Great video..good old American made pump u have ...
Okay Question for you. Today I purchased this same air compressor for $100 dollars. It took me over 2 hours to load it up. The tank is a Kargard built in 1969. The actually compressor is a model 432 just like yours. The compressor runs builds air pressure but I have already found rebuild kits and will be rebuilding it. I got lucky and a Real estate person sold it to me. I'm guessing it's worth more then$100 dollars. The rebuild kit is almost $400 but I think it will be worth it. I'm also going to pull the motor down and replace the bearings in it. So thank you for your video it has given me several different ideas.
Mine is actually a 445, same design as a 432 but it has bigger pistons. It should come apart and go together the same way. Be sure to check out my series on the compressor rebuild, it should help with the process for you. th-cam.com/play/PLR3ghccYZnanvBUiuOMeL5cjesYJ8m9g-.html
Looks great Brian. I've rebuilt a couple of them myself and it is always nice to see old iron back in top operation. I love resurrection old things for my shop. We live in such a throw away world today. People don't repair like they used to they just throw away and buy another. Someone gave my daughter a lawn mower that would not run. I took the carb off of it and it was ruined from the water in ethanol fuel. I bought a new carb for it online for $17 and that little Honda motor cranks on the first pull. I looked up the price on a new mower just like it and a new one would cost around $400 dollar. Thanks again for keeping it real. Looks like you are about finished with the concrete. Terry from Texas
Love it when we get projects done huh? Really nice job Brian, and don't sell yourself short on the paint! The detail with the accents and the chrome cap screws really make it come together!! Now just to paint the rest of it, and you've got a keeper!!
Man oh man that is a beautiful compressor. I hope to have a nice big shop some day. Right now I’m jammed into a one car garage. A guy can dream right? 😄
Looks good Brian. I'm glad they were finally able to find and send the right part! When you walked over to the breaker panel and looked back to turn it on and see what it did, I was thinking it would have been a whole lot more interesting if you had still had it slung about 2" off the deck with the crane. :-)
G'day, Brian! You do such nice work! It's amazing! Your Devilbiss 445 Industrial 2 Stage Air Compressor sounds so much quieter, than before! As a Suggestion, I hope you would consider painting they Electrical Boxes, too! Nice job! Cheers! :-)
I was thinking that myself. It looks a bit out of place on a newly rebuilt compressor. If he paints it chrome that will add power to the motor and make it use less electricity.
Yeah! I would also add-on, Rebuilding of the Industrial 2 Stage Air Compressor, the Fly Wheel, the Motor, and the Electrical Boxes, will certainly look sharper all nice, and painted. Cheers! :-D
Maybe someday I will get to that beautification project but for now there are bigger projects to demand my time. Getting the rest of the floor done so I can start getting my machines in and running is the bigger priority.
you were right the shop does'nt need windows! i can't believe how bright that shop is. brightest shop on all of youtube. should check those 2 safety relief valves that they're working. she's a beauty.
I already did and they both lift right at 200psi. The shop lighting should really be good when I get the other 4 lights installed that belong on the door side. I still have to get the ceiling put up over there 1st though before I can put them up.
Nice work, sounds awesome! I'd keep it on the floor for now to help with the next section of concrete - good ballast - just make sure you keep it full, heavier that weigh!
Summit stickers and a chrome air cleaner lid would definitely give another 3 HP and 12 CFM! lol Hey wait, I have a bunch of those stickers and chrome lid, I think I'll stick those on mine!
Well I'm pleased for you as it seems to be working every bit as well as it did when it was brand new. I would expect it to serve you very well for many years to come. I'm quite surprised how quiet it seems to be when in work, which of course is a good thing.
You can download a DB meter app for your phone for free. I have one on my IPhone and it works quite well. I have checked it with the real thing and it is accurate 1-2 DB.
This rebuild series has motivated me to work on the 60 gal Campbell Hausfeld given to me over a year ago and covered in the yard until last week. Had to replace the motor $8 , painted tank and cast iron pump blue & black $6 One of the reed valves broke off at some point and beat up the top of the piston but was nowhere to be found ??? New plate $50 I think I could have replaced the reed but I couldnt't source one. Now it needs a new switch and that's on it's way $21 I had all the fitting and gauges laying about . It blows the bleed off line at a little over 60psi The switch and known good check valve should put it back in shape ...$85 invested not too bad ! This will be my Big Compressor ........
Good rebuild man, enjoyed watching the rebuild stages. Now about keeping cool, it would be better to paint the pump, manifolds and cooler, motor housing in black. This would help get several degrees lower. Over time this would give long ring, bore, valve,piston life.
Because it only runs in the 450rpm range it doesn't really make much heat. Normally you can touch any part on the head unit even after it pumps up from dead empty.
We must be leading parallel lives. I just finished the pipe work from my air compressor to the whole shop with 18 drops (4 of them retracting hose reels). I had problems getting leak proof connections in 1/2", 3/4" and 1" galvanized pipe using teflon tape and went to Loctite 55 pipe thread tightener cord (#55 here in Europe). This stuff really works well although I wound up using rubber gloves to keep the slippery (silicone?) cord impregnation chemical off my fingers. I worked with it one day and drove home barehanded. The next day I had one slippery steering wheel. Anyhow, I can warmly recommend the Loctite 55. One doesn't even have to wrap the cord along the thread bottoms: instructions are printed on the dispenser I got. Orange and chrome - very fancy.
I normally use loctite blue thread sealer with excellent results but I was out that day. I should have gone and gotten more would have saved time of taking it back apart to stop leaks. :-( PS I hate pipe threads, o ring boss threads rule!!!
Nice job and nice and quiet. I'm jealous of the volume of that thing for sure. Hey, I have a float type auto drain that was too big for me to use, new in box sitting on my parts shelf. If you want it you can have it, I'll find the specs but I think it's 1/2" NPT.
If you can email me some pics of it and the rough dimensions and I will see if I can use it. I was planning on installing an auto drain on it but that might work as well.
Nice work Brian. with the size of some of the stuff you work on I can imagine that pressure and volume capability really helpful with tools like a 1" impact or others.
Hi Brian, It should last you a lifetime, if not, you know that in Canada there are spare parts and once you've done it once you know it can be done again and again................. !!!! lol Shop looks cleaner with the floor partially done... Cheers, Pierre
Putting it in the loft area was always the plan. I don't know how much shrouding I could put on it though as I wouldn't want to cause an over heat condition by trapping the air around it.
In another 50 years how much life to overhaul is left won't matter to me. What I like is that I can get tractor wheel bolts loose with my 1/2gun with it jacked up vs lugging the big heavy 3/4 out to do the same job.
Pipe threads are terrible these days, especially the imported. I use 3 wraps of Teflon tape then brush on a good quality pipe dope like Gasoila and almost never have a leak. What are you piping your air supplies with, schedule 80 BM pipe?
Hey Brian it's sounds just like my old 445 if you need a 3 phase motor for it I have the original one from mine still but I can't run on a phase converter the rotor is so big it needs true three phase power. Great video.
On which of the two remaining pours are you going to allow Bailey to use his "paw trowels"? I know you will be glad to finish the next two pours. Looking forward to the next video, Rollie
I thought you put the bridge crane in so you could lift Bailey back onto to his feet when he gets too tired of laying around. Sorry, I meant supervising.(;
Mannnnnnn thats a big thumper!! It sure does recover fast, with those big ole slugs floppin around in those jugs! Really nice machine Brian. Are you going to add an auto-drain by chance??
i have a realy dumb question . could i install an auto air vent up side down under a compressor so instead of the float dropping to let air out it raises to let water out?
The rate @ which your machine builds pressure from 140psi is impressive. . .I’m rebuilding a smaller 2 stage Devibiss I found @ an estate sale for cheap. Your video Gives me inspiration... I see you’ve got a single phase motor powering that MASSIVE pump on the devilbiss. What brand & model was it?
What size electric motor you got running that? 3 phase 10 hp or something? I got a u pump jenny makes and no motor to run the thing.. boogers weigh over 400 lbs and a motor that would run it weighs another 200.. with the tank thats damn near 800 lbs of compressor. Need to beef up the slab in my place just to set it all down.. ha!
Hi Brian, Very sweet running, I don't think you will need a sound hood with that one. I assume it has sufficient capacity for your big machines? Regards Ted
None of my metal working equipment uses air itself. I really only need air for my impacts and other air tools as well as airing up farm and truck tires. It should have plenty of capacity for that. I may also end up getting a paint sprayer for doing the barn and roof and it should have capacity to power that as well.
Well done Brain, both on the compressor and the floor.
I had no idea that DV still makes their parts in Canada. Surprised and glad all at once. Ours is needing a ring change and it the most work will probably be finding the parts!
I bought the ring and gasket kit off ebay and it seemed good quality stuff. It was us made by somebody.
DV Systems is a good 2 hour drive from me in Barrie Ontario. Hmm:-)
Another kool one Bryan! Now, fresh paint so it won't rust... ready to go outside in the lean-to... quieter.
Shinny as a new penny, good to go for another 50 years.
Excellent work. You took a compressor, the pump had some broken and worn out parts. You replaced the necessary parts. Now the compressor runs as good as new. Nice paint job too.
Cool project, looks good. The motor and tank are crying out for some paint love. I especially like the belt guard they put on these good ol' girls.
Nothing is more satisfying than a job well done.
Great job Brian. That compressor took me back 30 years, when as an AC mechanic, working at NASA AMES, I was cross trained on air compressors. That exact model was my first rebuild.
That is very cool! If it is good enough for NASA it should be plenty good enough for the Old Barn/Shop.
you sure worked wonders with that ole girl . Great job Brian ! Thumbs up man..
If it performs as good as it sounds I think you have a winner!Really enjoyed the Video.The competition Orange Paint and Chrome Nuts really adds a nice Touch.Keep the videos coming.God Bless!
Really like the chrome nuts! Gives it a "dressed" look, great job.
Nice job Brian.
That is one sexy air compressor. Love the coolers on it and the paint job.
Excellent work Brian. Matt C.
Bryan, Nice job on the finished rebuilt air compressor, thanks for sharing your video.!.!.!.
Thanks for watching!
Great job Brian. Nothing like the sweet sound of a DV.
Very nice job. That will be the last compressor you'll ever need to buy. Nice piece!!👍🏼👍🏼
The word needs people like you. You can do it .
Thanks for sharing Brian looks badass! Sometimes I do wish we got to see at least a time laps of the work rather than just before and afters.

Looks great Brian.
Looks great. I just got an old IR T15 compressor that I am going to rebuild. They just don’t make stuff like they used to anymore.
Chrome, very stylish, my compliments.
I always have a heck of a time with NPT sealing. Doesn't seem to matter if I use tape, teflon sealant or other exotic sealants. I alway revert back to tightening the crap out of it.
I like the chrome acorn nuts, and the noise is significantly less than pre-build. Damn good looking unit. Nothing made today looks remotely like that. Love the big honkin coolers between the stages and the air filter. Just looks cool. I'd have it on display above.
For me it seems the only reliable solution is loctite the threads, the pipe dope always seems to leak at least a little.
Like threadlocker (red/blue)? I'm smacking my head right now. Taken more than a few apart that had threadlocker applied and never thought of using it myself. Guess I was thinking more vibration than sealing.
Yes standard blue medium strength threadlocker is what I like to use.
That is a great compressor for any shop Brian !! Again thank you for taking us along!! Be safe and God bless you!!!
Lucky u found parts for that old pump..I know a guy who was told , no parts to old..make Shure u change the oil at least once a yr minimum..I own a saylor Beall.. industrial compressor..made in St John's , Mich..all American made. Great video..good old American made pump u have ...
Sounds good, just like the one I have at work. Its a nice machine, not annoyingly loud and it makes a lot of air.

Only half way on the concrete but it is a lot more than what I had! Congrats on the score on the mower.
Looks great and runs great. Nice job.
Big difference in how quiet it runs now. Great job. Next I too would like to see more "how to ".
Now anything on how to train dogs to run a camera? If I could get Baily to help out and film would sure help!
Looks good Brian and will keep you in air for quite a while!
Brian, good job there, it looks (and sounds) awesome!! Kindest regards. Joe.
sounding good & looking good Brian
Brian, Very nice work on the compressor!
Eric
I'm trying to get my air compressor up and going. It's a old Webster. I'm a custom painter
nice work Brian
looking forward to the next pour!
Thanks for sharing, Brian. Inspirational!
Awesome job.
Love it when we get projects done huh? Really nice job Brian, and don't sell yourself short on the paint! The detail with the accents and the chrome cap screws really make it come together!! Now just to paint the rest of it, and you've got a keeper!!
I rebuilt a lot of these in the last 2 years. They are great machine. I even put rebuild video of the 447 I kept for myself at home
Mine has been working great so far since the rebuild!
Great repair!
Man oh man that is a beautiful compressor. I hope to have a nice big shop some day. Right now I’m jammed into a one car garage. A guy can dream right? 😄
I started in a 2 car garage so you have hope!! :-)
Very neat job!!!
Thanks for a cool rebuild video! A bit noisy but as you said you want to move it somewhere else. And yes nobody wants overheating
I did, you did a fine job and Baily gave you the snore of approval. You going with an auto drain or just a pipe and valve. I'd say the 2nd.
looks great! like the lower rpm compressors.Good to see Bailey
Now to plumb the shop for air!
Nice job Brian
You did a great job on the compressor, Brian. The compressor should provide an ample amount of air. The floor looks great as well.
Thanks!
Good job, Brian. I would think you are glad to get another project taken care of. Unit looks very good also.
Hey great job on the rebuild, that big boy should last a long long time, i enjoyed the video, thanks
Looks good Brian. I'm glad they were finally able to find and send the right part!
When you walked over to the breaker panel and looked back to turn it on and see what it did, I was thinking it would have been a whole lot more interesting if you had still had it slung about 2" off the deck with the crane. :-)
I bet as heavy as it is it wouldn't move much even slung up. :-)
Great job on the air compressor and very nice paint job. It sure beats my compressor.
G'day, Brian! You do such nice work! It's amazing! Your Devilbiss 445 Industrial 2 Stage Air Compressor sounds so much quieter, than before! As a Suggestion, I hope you would consider painting they Electrical Boxes, too! Nice job! Cheers! :-)

Maybe someday I will get to that beautification project but for now there are bigger projects to demand my time. Getting the rest of the floor done so I can start getting my machines in and running is the bigger priority.
Nicely done, sir! Wish I had seen this before this weekend...
Why, what did you do over the weekend? :-)
you were right the shop does'nt need windows! i can't believe how bright that shop is. brightest shop on all of youtube. should check those 2 safety relief valves that they're working. she's a beauty.
I already did and they both lift right at 200psi. The shop lighting should really be good when I get the other 4 lights installed that belong on the door side. I still have to get the ceiling put up over there 1st though before I can put them up.
Nice project. I enjoyed seeing it brought back to life. Thanks.
Now I want to rebuild mine ol Great Job Brian
Beautiful! Great rebuild!
Beautiful rebuild on a nice compressor! Thanks for sharing!
Nice work, sounds awesome! I'd keep it on the floor for now to help with the next section of concrete - good ballast - just make sure you keep it full, heavier that weigh!
I will try not to let it suck in any helium so it doesn't float away. :-)
Just put a helium filter on it, you can get them at any party store that carries balloons...
Nice job on the compressor Brian. It sounds good and looks a little better too. You know, you just added 2 HP and 10 CFM with those chrome acorn nuts!
If I put some Summit stickers on it will it add even more? lol
Summit stickers and a chrome air cleaner lid would definitely give another 3 HP and 12 CFM! lol Hey wait, I have a bunch of those stickers and chrome lid, I think I'll stick those on mine!
Your compressor sounds great nice job!
Ur the man brian. looks great.
nice work glad to see you did not have problems with getting parts that i did.
Only took 3 calls of hell raising and some email harrasment to get it done..... sure would be nice if people did their jobs.
Well I'm pleased for you as it seems to be working every bit as well as it did when it was brand new. I would expect it to serve you very well for many years to come. I'm quite surprised how quiet it seems to be when in work, which of course is a good thing.
Wish I had a db meter to test it with, but I bet it is quieter than my little exreme duty cast iron campbell hausfield.
You can download a DB meter app for your phone for free. I have one on my IPhone and it works quite well. I have checked it with the real thing and it is accurate 1-2 DB.
This rebuild series has motivated me to work on the 60 gal Campbell Hausfeld given to me over a year ago and covered in the yard until last week. Had to replace the motor $8 , painted tank and cast iron pump blue & black $6 One of the reed valves broke off at some point and beat up the top of the piston but was nowhere to be found ??? New plate $50 I think I could have replaced the reed but I couldnt't source one. Now it needs a new switch and that's on it's way $21 I had all the fitting and gauges laying about . It blows the bleed off line at a little over 60psi The switch and known good check valve should put it back in shape ...$85 invested not too bad ! This will be my Big Compressor ........
Glad I could motivate ya! :-) Sounds plenty affordable for what you have invested!
it sounds good
Great job Brian!
It looks good & works good too!
(The chrome sets it off! haha)
And the cement floor is coming along great too.
If you'd like a cover to keep the dust off the air cleaner a cover off a K-301 Kohler ought to do it.
Good rebuild man, enjoyed watching the rebuild stages. Now about keeping cool, it would be better to paint the pump, manifolds and cooler, motor housing in black. This would help get several degrees lower. Over time this would give long ring, bore, valve,piston life.
Because it only runs in the 450rpm range it doesn't really make much heat. Normally you can touch any part on the head unit even after it pumps up from dead empty.

Hi again !
Really nice re-build ... and I like that orange color !
Now you just need a cover for the belts ;-(( - safety you know !
Nice work Brian. with the size of some of the stuff you work on I can imagine that pressure and volume capability really helpful with tools like a 1" impact or others.
Sounds good!
Should work well in your shop. Nice job
this compressor seems to be a better choice that the screw compressors that several have used. Now if you would just keep painting...
Hi Brian,
It should last you a lifetime, if not, you know that in Canada there are spare parts and once you've done it once you know it can be done again and again................. !!!! lol
Shop looks cleaner with the floor partially done...
Cheers, Pierre
Don't worry I already trashed it. No worries about dings and scratches now it is only for work.
That's a bad ass compressor, biggest I've seen,,,how many CFMS does it put out and at what pressure?
beautiful work,air cleaner makes it!
You could put the compressor upstairs and build walls for noise suppression. Wouldn't take up shop floor space that way.
Putting it in the loft area was always the plan. I don't know how much shrouding I could put on it though as I wouldn't want to cause an over heat condition by trapping the air around it.
Get it in the loft soon before the bosses tail gets caught up in one of them pulleys....Baily wouldnt like that ride!
Baily has always been smart enough to stay away from running machinery.
sounds a lot better
What a beast
Do you require such high pressure? I would back it down to around 140 to get a little more extended life out the machine.
In another 50 years how much life to overhaul is left won't matter to me. What I like is that I can get tractor wheel bolts loose with my 1/2gun with it jacked up vs lugging the big heavy 3/4 out to do the same job.
Congrats on getting that bad boy rebuilt. What CFM is it rated for? Is that a 120 gallon tank?
35cfm@175psi and it is a 120gal tank.
Pipe threads are terrible these days, especially the imported. I use 3 wraps of Teflon tape then brush on a good quality pipe dope like Gasoila and almost never have a leak. What are you piping your air supplies with, schedule 80 BM pipe?
Hey Brian it's sounds just like my old 445 if you need a 3 phase motor for it I have the original one from mine still but I can't run on a phase converter the rotor is so big it needs true three phase power. Great video.
Good to know should I decide to switch this one to poly phase. I kind of prefer it as single phase so I can run it without the phase converter going.
On which of the two remaining pours are you going to allow Bailey to use his "paw trowels"? I know you will be glad to finish the next two pours.
Looking forward to the next video,
Rollie
I can just see my having to lift a stuck 85lb Baily out of the concrete if I turned him loose in there!
I thought you put the bridge crane in so you could lift Bailey back onto to his feet when he gets too tired of laying around. Sorry, I meant supervising.(;
Mannnnnnn thats a big thumper!! It sure does recover fast, with those big ole slugs floppin around in those jugs! Really nice machine Brian. Are you going to add an auto-drain by chance??
Yeah 35seconds to recover 20psi on a 120gal tank at 150+psi seems pretty quick to me. I would be curious how that compares to others shop compressors.
You stated it was fairly quick recovery in the video. I would've said it kicks ass!
Brian are you going to install a dryer on the compressor?
Not likely since I don't have a dryer and I don't paint with it the liquid cooled tools on the real humid days don't bother me too much.
i have a realy dumb question . could i install an auto air vent up side down under a compressor so instead of the float dropping to let air out it raises to let water out?
Nice, may last many decades
The rate @ which your machine builds pressure from 140psi is impressive. . .I’m rebuilding a smaller 2 stage Devibiss I found @ an estate sale for cheap. Your video Gives me inspiration...
I see you’ve got a single phase motor powering that MASSIVE pump on the devilbiss. What brand & model was it?
It is a 10hp single phase. I think it’s a GE it was salvaged from an old broken grain bin fan.
What size electric motor you got running that? 3 phase 10 hp or something? I got a u pump jenny makes and no motor to run the thing.. boogers weigh over 400 lbs and a motor that would run it weighs another 200.. with the tank thats damn near 800 lbs of compressor. Need to beef up the slab in my place just to set it all down.. ha!
It’s a 10hp single phase.
Them chrome accents will make it run smoother... works on cars or so im told...lol
At least adds more power!! lol
What oil did you end up running?
Looks and sounds good, that's at least a $1000 paint job.
John Deere Hy-gard oil
@Tee I think you would want 20wt oil for it unless it only runs in hot weather.
Brian, What does the baffle look like? I need to make one for my compressor.
I will do a video on it. Basically a dome with a 2in long 2" diameter pipe in the middle.
Hi Brian, Very sweet running, I don't think you will need a sound hood with that one. I assume it has sufficient capacity for your big machines? Regards Ted
None of my metal working equipment uses air itself. I really only need air for my impacts and other air tools as well as airing up farm and truck tires. It should have plenty of capacity for that. I may also end up getting a paint sprayer for doing the barn and roof and it should have capacity to power that as well.
I can Harley hear it!
ha ha ha!
