JD 4400 air conditioning not working after conversion

I had my air conditioning compressor and dryer switched to R134A the first week in September and it had cold air as expected. When I tried using a couple of days ago no cold air was felt. I can see the compressor is not turning when the switch is turned on to "cold" and making sure the heater switch is off. I checked the fuse and it's okay. Where do I want to start next? A new cab switch? Could it be the connection at the compressor? Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
 
I"ll check on the freon in the system; I"d be surprised if it leaked out as I never had a problem with leaks before but there is always a first time. Also, there is a thermal switch and an air conditioning temperature control switch. Could one of these be malfunctioning and needed replaced?
 
there is sometimes a problem with the new low pressure valves. they sometimes don't seal up properly.
 
If it has Gates hoses, there is a chance that the mold release agent in the hoses reacted with the oil in the r-134, and left a coating on the inside of the evaporator, insulating it and preventing heat transfer. This happened a bunch of times when I worked for Deere in the 90"s when a lot of systems were changed over. We had to flush the systems and recharge them.
 
If it is not low on freon, then jumper wire the compressor and see if the clutch is ok before you get into it much further
