Just a little background I should have added in my post. I was a compressor tech for 8 years till i left the industry 15 years ago so I do have a little experience with these. :)
I should also have added the numbers from the air end. It is a Compair Holman 1265 4918 and it run with the Ford 4cyl 2711E diesel engine.
The separator definitely needs changing, the unit was obviously overheated once or twice in its life span and has a few cooked spots on it. the staples are intact and I will assure the replacement has them as well.
The fuel cutout I refer to is a mechanical cutout, plumbed from one of the ports on the air end discharge housing to a small hydraulic cylinder that would push the fuel shutoff lever to 'off' when pressure is applied to the line.
The 1/4" tubing from the hydraulic cylinder is still in place and ends right at the discharge housing where the port I mentioned is.
On the side of the discharge housing there are 2 ports plugged with pipe plugs, one right above the other. Its those ports I need information on.
I put a gauge in the port that looks like it was recently tinkered with and get full discharge pressure on the port, but to be honest both plugs look new with fairly clean teflon tape on them so I may have the wrong port.
It is possible the port had a sacrificial thermal pellet in it and it was melted on the last overheat or there is some form of thermostatic mech that is missing/broken.
I have no problem tearing into this unit but it sure would be nice to know what is supposed to be in there before i do.
I have inspected the rest of the unit, checked the condition of the rotors and even stethoscope'd the bearings and for the age it is in surprisingly good condition, I just need to sort out the safety cutout and it'll be ready to work again.
Thanks
Tom.

Today's Featured Article - It Can't Be Done! - A Tractor Story - by Neil Campbell. I'll never forget the time back when I was a boy baling hay on our Farm in Big Rapid, Michigan. The most memorable event that took place was a trip up the steepest incline on the farm pulling an old New-Idea baler with a pony-motor for power and a haywagon. I had just talked my Dad into buying an old John Deere B with 6-speeds ahead and I was real proud of it, except it was a little smaller than the Case tractor that we normally
