Hi I have a broomwade air compressor pump Type AC50
Does anyone know of the rotation pulley turns. Anti clockwise or clockwise.there is no arrow marked on the pulley or pump?
also the angle of the cooling blades will give the answer...
clockwise direction from the pulley.....
BUT it's a proper made thing, doesn't run that fast so as long a the correct level of oil is in the sump either direction would.....
NOTE slow rpm.....
the equiv modern pump that are made from ally run fast....
Agree with all the above comments. Some pumps also have an oil pick up located on the big end that is angled to face the direction of rotation. This scoops oil from the sump and forces it into the bearing, worth checking to confirm for the correct rotation.
