Old Craftsman home use air compressor
The part fit perfectly with only limited info on the part since the compressor was so old. Nothing seemed to be no problem finding the part in the first place. All the personnel I talked to was really a pleasure, it seemed nothing was impossible. Received the filter and it fit perfectly. Many thanks to all involved.

Great part
Even though my compressor is over 40 year old the part was available and fit like new. Even though it was a simple filter never thought it would be still available.

OEM parts at a fair price
I’ve had my old compressor for 30 years and when it needed parts the only place that had them was ereplacementparts.
Parts got to me on time and were correct although I haven’t had time to install them yet.

Hard to Find
I was very surprised to find this filter available since it is for a compressor over 30 yrs old. Thank you for providing a site that is easy to find what you need for older equipment.

I have an old Sears Craftsman 3 HP 20 gallon air compressor that was made in the mid 1980's. Sears is now a memory and Sears parts has long forgotten about this machine. But eReplacement Parts still keeps the air filters on hand. Thank you very much. Replacement was very easy, following the parts diagram on the eReplacement Parts website.
