I dont remember the motor I used. I think it was a marathon. But that dont really matter.
It was a 10HP 3450rpm motor. Same as the 3-phase that came off but just 240v single phase.
Forget all the talk of changing pulleys. I only was contemplating that because the airend (compressor head) is the SAME joy used on 3 different models. Ranging from 29 cfm when paired with 7.5hp, 40cfm when paired with 10hp and 60cfm when paired with 15HP. The ONLY difference in the three compressors other than more HP was changing pulleys to make the pump spin faster.
I was gonna drop to 7.5hp and change pulleys to basically have a TA007 compressor @ 29cfm. Because 7.5HP motors were cheaper.
You could go the other route and get a 15HP motor and spin the pump up to get 60cfm. Thats all the MFG did for their TA015 model.
And my 3m25s was from 0psi to 110
