[AT] Tractor PTO tire pump help needed

[Kevin]

I have seen a Witte hit miss engine used as an air compressor, it pumped 
150# pressure.  At a old time gas service station that folded up long ago. 
But I remember the owner saying that the engine had never been run it was 
bought to make air. I wish I had paid more attn to it, but then I wasnt 
interested as much in antique engines then. But the item I think you need is 
similar to what was in place of the sparkplug on that old Witte.
Didnt IHC make a air pump that used one of the engine cylinders with the 
item in question and sell them as optional equiptment for the letter series 
tractors ?
