Model 20 air compressor

Post by Florida Eagle »

Hello, in a pickle unless I can find the Bendix part number for air compressor for my 1989 Silver Eagle Bus model 20 6v92. Thanks very much.

I should add that the name plate originally affixed is inexplicably missing. While it appears to be a Bendix-Westinghouse Tu-Flo Model 700, the mechanic is hesitant to remove it without first knowing the precise model/serial number.

I don't have a serial that won't do him any good any ways,but they are a Detroit Flange 0 Tilt
Bendix 289941
Haldex El 16050
Midland 289941X
Napa 289941N
Those for the 700 that fit a Eagle

Watch the discharge line placement they should have 2 ports to allow for the correct fitting some do some don't ? is your top or side discharge

Turns out that those part numbers are now obsolete, per Bendix representative. These air compressors are now available as part # 289925. I obtained one from Highway & Heavy Parts.com. Price was $360 with $200 refundable core charge.
