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 - When Push Comes to Shove - by Dave Patterson. When I was a “kid” (still am to a deree) about two I guess, my parents couldn’t find me one day. They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
