RE: (ET) air compressor



I ran a water pump off of a deck motor.  I replaced a 3hp Briggs engine with the deck motor.  It thermal cycled.  My guess guess is it is just shy of 2hp at 3000 RPM.

Ok here's something to think about....
 
The motor went out on my shop compressor and I need some kind of replacement. Something between one of those cheap, noisy 12V jobs and a real 2hp piston compressor. Then I was thinking - it would be nice to have it run off 36VDC and small enough to cart around on the elec-trak.
 
Any ideas? If nothing else a really good 12V unit would work (anyone recommend one?)
 
I saw something pretty close at http://www.oasis-off-road.com/ that can run off 24V, but too much $$$$.
