Being a do it yourselfer for many years, and hating to throw any thing away... I used a compressor and motor pulled out of a 1930's electric refrigerator. I put a hose with a clamp on type nozzle on the output side. It works great for airing up flat tires and beach floats for over 50 years now. It does not work for mounting tires though. For mounting tires, I had a blown RV air conditioner compressor. I found it had blown an o ring, and replaced the ring. I put that compressor with a one horse motor from a bad well pump via pulley and a V belt. It will mount a tire easily. I finally added a tank and cut off switch and harbor freight moving dolly wheels. It works great for what I do.
