George, I think this is going to be nasty as the output port of the compressor has lots of metallic goo . On the bright side I am hoping the condenser coil has gotten most of the crud and the screen in the filter/dryer the rest so that when I do the initial flush on the evaporator and expansion valve the flush residue will come out clean. Being up over the cab gravity may deal me a winning hand......if not its going to be messy. On your daughter's car, I have cheated the system before and came out ok too.

What's funny is that I had been baling the week before and the thing was cooling just fine. I cranked it up to do some more days later, and it started locking up smoking the V belt. Shut things off, rolled the activation disc (sticking out beyond the v belt location, back and forth a few times and it seemed to be ok. Put the gauges on it and were normal readings. Went out and started baling again, working fine and next thing you know the AC quit cooling and I am where I am.

Sticker shock: Last time I had an AC problem was several years ago and I recall 134a being $4 a 12 oz can. A couple of days ago I bought it for this job and it was TEN BUCKS a 12oz can.......somebody is lining their pockets on this....same price at 3 stores I visited. Fabricated shortage or some marketing scam and it involves several companies as stock in the stores visited had a different mfgr..

Thank you sir.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point ... [Read Article]
