I just acquired a WabCo Type Y compressor and your video was extremely helpful. It runs, but I want to give it a thorough check since you never know how well the last guy serviced their equipment.

daddynichol52 make sure the oil is at full level ... low oil will make the valves unload and you will not get a full pressure pump on the strokes ... oil type that is recommended by CN Rail is Rando 68 hydraulic oil (any AW 68 oil) ..... and not finding that ... a good 30w oil will work so I’ve been told ... but I just use what the CN manual said .

Man the jump from the 2yc I have to the 3yc valves is big, much more robust looking. Reminds me of my Quincy 325 being so heavy duty on the valves.

Do you know the recommended power and rpm for the 3 YC compressor. I bought one on a shop compressor but it has the wrong motor it is a 3 hp 1750 rpm motor

I have a 240vac 5hp motor running mine … you may have to change the shives to get the correct RPM …

To add to my comment the railway uses 5hp 74vdc electric motors at 1750rpm

I am rebuilding a 3yc and it is missing the spring on the oil pump lever any ideas where I can find it or the specs of what it's supposed to be there? Thanks

Do you have the check ball and keeper ? The spring is 3/4” length by 13/32 diameter .... you can look up the parts at this site npeinc.com/manuals/Adobe%20E-Manuals/West.%20Miscellaneous/Westinghouse%20Air%20Compressor%20Model%203YC.pdf

Yes I have the check ball and the piston that the air and pushes that drives that lever and it looks like there should be a spring below that

Jon Calon this compressor is going to the Alberta Central Railway Museum for their CP RDC 9108. They require a replacement

@@tieplatecaf Good to hear! Thanks for looking after them. Once they get this back, are they likely able to run theirs without having to tow it?

Jon Calon the Alberta Central Railway Museum is acquiring the compressor and some other parts and I’m guessing once they get all the parts installed that their car should be able to run on its own with little to no problems

Greetings once again. I just brought a recently acquired Westinghouse Y compressor home, but would like to know when it was built. Can you help point me in the right direction? 1BYC207961. Thanks.

daddynichol52 Hi .... I’ll try and look that up for you .... but if you look on the crank case under the high pressure cyl there should be date plates on the right side next to the Westinghouse Air Brake logo .... top number should be the month second number under it should be the date third number under that should be the year ... Example as one of mine says 8 - 29-56
