I haven't posted anything to the list in ages, I'm mainly just a lurker who enjoys reading the digests during my lunch break at work, but now I've hit a roadblock with one of my projects and I'm hoping someone on the list may be able to point me in the right direction.  

I'm working on an old Lindsay tagalong compressor powered by a Wisconsin VG4D, early 50's I assume because it's six volt.  I found where I need some springs and valves for the 5 cyl compressor pump, but I can't find any sources for parts.  I can probably seek out some similar springs that would work, and the valves are a soft material because it has drawn one of them right through the valve seat, so machining & grinding new ones probably wouldn't be a big deal either, but it would be a lot easier to just find a source for this stuff if one still exists. 

Tractor reference, I eventually plan to use this compressor to blast some of the tractors I have to restore.  Thanks!  John
