I'm about as ignorant as they come when it comes to tractor air conditioning. I get how they operate but not what is involved in repairs.
The compressor is shot on my IH 886. I am going to upgrade it to the new style compressor and ditch the old York. I have found kits that include all of the soft lines, the drier and expansion valves. It is double the price for just the compressor kit, but I just think all of the other stuff ought to be replaced, too. I can see a 40 year old line lasting a week and then blowing in hay season!
Here's my ponder. Do I put the entire new system on and then have someone draw down a vacuum to get all of the old junk out or do I try to get the condenser and coils clean when I have it apart (Ike blow compressed air through them)? I've got someplace that will charge it, but I want it ready when I take it to them. Can I put it all together and then cycle it to make sure the wiring kicks in the clutch or do I just cross my fingers? If I am right the new refrigerant contains lubricant but I don't know if that is what lubes the bearings in the compressor. I'm looking for what I need to do when I put on all of those new pieces to make things go smoothly.
I usually just let the dealer mess with the old a/c units, but all of the other cab tractors are Deere. The CaseIH dealer is a mess so it's going to my regular mechanic in town for the charge.

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
