Need to replace belt on my craftsman air compressor Item# 00916762000 Model# 16762

Lee, if it has a drive belt, that belt may be slipping. You may also have a significant air leak, or your intake air filter may be BADLY plugged, or your compressor head may be completely worn out.

You could try this link.
This is for megadyne tb2 310 belt (nlh6ltCOM)

Since the exact model number manual is not available go to Sears and look at the compressors they have on the floor (or in the catalog). Find one that looks like the one you have and note the model number (these devices haven't changed much over the years). order the manual for the one that matches your machine the best.

Do not bother with diagram, remove old belt and go to hardware/car part store and tehy will find what belt you need and replace it for you.

If original belt do not exist, with bit of string or pliable old garden hose measure total lenght of the belt, measure and write down belt pulley groove width and depth, and on base of that one car place or hardware store will be able to find you suitable belt.

Hope this will solve your problem

Your Craftsman model 919.165200, 5hp, 20 gallon compressor was designed to run on 115~120v 15amp. I believe that it was made by Campbell Hausfeld and is of the oilless single cylinder type. If however your compressor is oil lubed and has a motor /drive belt configuration it may be able to convert if there is a spec plate on the motor with alternate wiring diagram. Many high-end compressors like Rol Air, Jenny, Dewalt, etc with motor/belt drive have a switch selectable voltage, however one must still change the power cord when using 220v. Good luck with your projects and post again if your have other question.

The image below is an exploded view of the motor on the 3gal 1.5hp craftsman compressor. There are no belts for this model.

hope this helps.

GO TO SEARSPARTSDIRECT ENTER THE MODEL NUMBER AND IT WILL SHOW IT ALL TO YA LET ME KNOW IF THIS HELPS YOU

hi mate if the pump is connected then it doesnt have a belt its direct drive and if the motor is seperate from the pump unit then it belt driven i dont understand as the picture is a direct drive (no belt)

you just replace the belt, timing is not nessescary.

Unless your machine is worn out----it's probably the pressure switch:

A: needs adjustment

B: needs to be replaced

XYZ: head gasket leak,broken line, other air leaks?
