I've got a creeper transmission that came from a ditching machine on a 3500 Ford tractor that needs a new home. I think it's an Everette. Got the extra long PTO too. Machine shop made PTO. I know this is going to blow Dunks mind but I've been wondering if your smokle machine could find a leak in an automobile AC system? I've got a sniffer but it isn't much good. I've had better luck with Ivory Liquid water in a spray bottle. Run this one by you too. I've thought introducing propane into the system and pass a flame over the AC components to see if that would find a leak. I know. Propane is dangerous and all that stuff but I have actually run ACs on it on some of my old clunkers and it worked good as Freeze 12. Of course it is dangerous!!!!! Almost as dangerous as hauling around 20 gallons of gasoline! The diesel truck is running like a Singer sewing machine and sounds a lot like one! The AC in it has a bad leak and it would be bad to put propane in it to find the leak and burn it up after all the work I've done on it but then I've done stupid stuff like that before. I haven't tried to climb the Matterhorn yet though! Have a good day Hobo. Zane

I use a Inficon TEK-MATE leak detector but if one has a large leak you can not get near it with the TEC-MATE,,, dye and a black light works well,,, I have smoked a large leak and found it but little luck with a small leak

my money would B on the compressor as they are bad leakers,,, I shy away from the propane myself,,, R-12 also burns BUT puts out a deadly nerve gas,,, years ago Sun had a little torch that you ran around the AC to check for leaks,,, no one know better then,,, seamed like the hot tip then,,, die and learn I spec.
