A method of constructing a lubricator reservoir for use with a particular model of compressor, comprising:
- providing a lubricator reservoir housing;
- selecting an adapter plate from a group of adapter plates, each adapter plate in the group of adapter plates configured to mate with a specific model of compressor, the adapter plates being interchangeable with other adapter plates configured to adapt the lubrication reservoir to mount onto different compressor models;
- attaching the adapter plate to the housing;
- attaching the housing with the adapter plate to a compressor corresponding to the compressor model corresponding to the adapter plate;
- inserting a multi-part shaft having separable parts into the lubricator reservoir housing, a portion of the multi-part shaft extending through a lubricator reservoir housing wall;
- inserting the portion of the multi-part shaft extending through the hole in the lubricator reservoir housing into the compressor;
- and
- inserting a pump driving shaft, the pump driving shaft configured to be driven by the multi-part shaft and to operate one or more pumps.
