Ran across a 1985 685 XL today, (serial number was in the 4000"s but all the books say the 685 starts at 15000 so not sure what that"s all about.) Local trade from a dairy farmer. MFWD, nice cab, 8x4 w/electric t/a (no shuttle though) and adjustable rear axles (kinda of rare on the 85 series machines?) It"s never had a loader on it. Everything seems to run out fine except the air conditioning and the ether injection system (leaks around the can.) More concerned about the a/c. The a/c compressor never seems to kick in when turned on, fan blows but no cold air. Question: Is there an easy way tell if it has been converted to R134a? If it's still R12 how big of a job is it to make the update? Expensive? $500-$1000? Been running open stations for the last 30 years but dad is getting older so now looking at cab machines. Thanks! Mike
