OK, both Cat (their part 9M5475) and Bendix both tell me this small air compressor is too old to supply parts. The compressor Cat listed for replacement is also obsolete. Far as they're concerned I've got a tractor (944) with no brakes, other than dropping the bucket.
I found a rebuild kit for the governor and a few compressor parts at Off Road Equipment, not unusual for them to have Cat parts that Cat no longer does. Best thing about a rebuild kit is it includes instructions. I'm a little afraid to go very deep into the compressor without.
Considering how it failed, suddenly, my guess is a governor problem. While I had it off, I figured it was a good time to go through both.
Anybody have other parts sources they would share? I live on a mountain, brakes are necessary.
