On my 2005 U270, my 12 volt Thomas air compressor is failing. It just can't reach the rpm's it used to. How complicated is rebuilding this compressor? Does anyone have a recommendation on a shop I can send it to? It sounds like I have the "BIG" compressor.
Thank you
Is it a Thomas TA-4101-DC?

Here are a couple of sources, please double check applicability before purchase. ZORO usually has them at a good price, do some shopping but mid $300s seems common.

This compressor is getting used by some as a replacement, not much more than a rebuild kit.
