As I continue my journey trying to keep up with the family estate, I have run into hot days and the fact that I never installed the the AC compressor I bought last year for the tractor.
I didn't install it, because after I bought it I realized I can't just take the tractor down to the mechanic and have help with the part I've never done (vacuum pump and 3 colorful hoses to put the refrigerant in). The beast is one you would have to drive down the road and I don't think an 18 mile round trip would be in my best interests just to get A/C.
Therefore, I'm looking for guidance on buying the things I would need to properly set up the Air Conditioning in the Tractor.
Is there a particular type of pump? What is a good price point?
I've always seen the 3 hose set up (3 different colors) at the mechanic's. What is that and what is a good price point?
I do know what r134a is. I have several cans and did successfully convert my Chrysler Fifth Avenue and it does cool... rather, it did cool and will cool again when I fix the last pack rat eaten wire next week.
Any help would be appreciated.
