I would appreciate that very much, Dan, thanks.  Also what brand foam 
concentrate do you prefer?  I only need a Type A.

My web research indicates the same thing, that most all CAF systems 
sold these days use air.  Mine is an older system, so old in fact 
that the maker Amerex no longer has a manual for it.  I don't want to 
continue to use the original nitrogen system since the cylinder is 
past test date and refilling is costly.  Also there's the possibility 
of running out of nitrogen in mid-stream when time is of the essence.

Tractor reference.  If I can find a suitable compressor, I might run 
it off the PTO of a tractor and fabricate a 3-point hookup for the CAF unit.
