I bet I'm almost as tired of thinking about this as you all are of hearing about it.
When I bought my IH 886 the guy told me the air conditioning didn't work. He said if it were him he would put a new style compressor in it, but he hadn't really used the tractor in a few years.
When I started using it the cab relay worked intermittently. I put a new one it. The heater valve was hard to turn so I ran the line directly to the core.
I'm getting ready to buy a new a/c kit. I was doing chores yesterday and happened to think of the nightmare I would have if the wiring was messed up. I kicked on the air to check it and sure enough the clutch kicked in. It ran for a few seconds and I'll be danged if the line didn't get ice cold. The return was warm. I couldn't tell whether there was cool air in the cab as the heater core always has coolant running through it. Now I'm wondering if it was the cab relay going bad that made him think that it didn't work. There's clearly some freon in there and the York pump sounded just fine.
What are my odds of finding someone with R12 to charge it? If I could save the money replacing it and just charge it this year I would be happy.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
