Snap on air compressor - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**richard2717** · 10-11-2016, 03:43 PM

I have an 80 gallon 2 stage air compressor I bought new from Snap On back in 1986. I thought something broke in the compressor unit because it was tripping the breaker. When I went to look at it originally I could not turn the compressor pulley and instantly got upset seeing big $$$$$ getting ready to be spent. I went back out this afternoon and noticed one of the dual belts had flipped on the pulley. After taking a closer look both belts have gone bad and had jammed up against the pulley cover which was causing it to trip the breaker.

The number on the belt that I can make out says B67 but I cant make out the name. I did a quick google but did not come up with anything. Anybody have a source to get belts from? I want good ones, not the crap I just pulled off. I can't believe they only lasted 30 years

Probably be lucky to get 10 out of the next set.

thanks for any help
Richard

Richard, you can probably take the belt off and go to a parts store and match them up with a new belt. My Snap-on 80gal compressor just uses 2 standard "matched" v-belts. I got them at Napa when I replaced mine.

Those should be Fractional Horsepower belts, not traditional V-belt. Fractional horsepower belts have a 90* V versus a 60*V on automotive v-belts.

Thanks guys
not sure why Napa didn't cross my mind. I went in this morning and asked the kid for 2 belts, he said I don't have them here but I can get them. I asked him how long to get them and he said come back after lunch. I just put them on and all is well again on the home front. One of my guys said he thought $39 was high for two belts. I told him to divide it into 30 years and it seemed pretty darn cheap to me.

Whoops you're correct. I didn't even remember they weren't V belts. Sorry for the bad info.
