It's an interesting problem. Adding an automotive retrofit kit would look like the first possibility...except...I know the #1 issue is do you have the space in/around the engine to make this solution fit AND can everything be extended to get from the engine to the cab of a combine? Keep in mind, a car's engine is a LOT closer to the cab than is a combine's.
An electric roof top RV unit and a 3000 watt AC power inverter would seem to be a possible solution, but there are a lot of issues with this direction too. Alternator capacity has to be there, you'd almost certainly have to add at least 1 more battery, and then the unit has to protected from dust and chaff or everything will clog up. Lots of potential issues to overcome here.
Looking at the options, would upgrading the combine to a later model with factory air con be actually more viable? Sale price of old unit + money that would have been spent adding air con = ???
