I have one of the Military wheel barrow type air compressors. The Standard Military Engine on it has to go! I picked up a 5.5HP Honda on Craig s List for $50, now I just need to rig up a mount for the motor. Has any one done this? Right now the compressor is such a drag on the motor it can't get up enough revolutions to start, the compressor stroke is really stiff! I have a cement mixer that has the motor on a pivot plate that uses the weight of the motor to place tension on the belts to drive the mixer tub, but gives it enough of a break for the engine to start running before all the tension is applied by the belt to the drive pulley.![DSCN0289.jpg DSCN0289.jpg](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/data/attachments/356/356584-e7d4a8a393c0e0860fd5f645f40240c2.jpg)
