I got a 1066 with a R12 system that has a a hole somewhere up on top of cab. Can not find exactly where yet, I hope to find out for sure this weekend. But my thought is and I may be crazy, is to maybe put in a small 110 unit in instead of fixing the old R12 system and then converting it to R134 or something else. I know I will have to get a large 110 converter (will 1500 watts do or something larger) and probably upgrade the alternator.
I am not trying to ge this to get so cold as you need a coat, just something to make it bareable. I figured it up and the tractor is only used about 50 to 75 hours a year when air conditon would be really be needed. I figure the 110 unit may go out ever year or 2 but the one I am looking at cost only 89 dollars (real small, 5000 btu's) it be cheaper this route then fixing up the old R12 system then converting it.
Just wondering if any one done or what is the cost of changing a system out to R134 or something similar. I think the compressor is good but not sure about everything else. I know one of th eexhaust fans is froze right now.
I am in Texas so it does get hot down here and I am getting older where I can not take running in a cab with no air for very long.
Thanks for all the help
