 Topic: A/C 190 Air Conditioner
Posted: 16 Jun 2019 at 5:53pm |
|
Has anyone put an air conditioner on an A/C 190? I'm looking at a 190XT with a cab, but it doesn't have an air conditioner.Any guidance or experience regarding adding an a/c would be appreciated.

I was gonna put a cab on my 220 and fix it like you want to.....bought an 8070 instead and kept the 220 for backup. Something to consider.

First thing is getting all the air leaks fixed and insolated to where the air-conditioning can over come the out side heat. MACK

I think I've heard of guys using a kit from Red Dot? Classic Auto Air has universal systems, one being big enough for a full size van. I would think that would cool a tractor cab on the hottest days. I would buy the largest capacity system I could find and do like Mack says and fix any drafts. Steele Rubber Products makes universal weatherstripping for doors and windows. Something else to consider is insulation. Lizard Skin is a spray on insulation and they also have a sound control coating as well.

We put Red Dot ACs on 10 box vans it would cool down a Chevy van with a 12' box so I'm sure it'll cool down a little tractor cab even with air leaks and no insulation. Having 10 trucks done I got them down to $2500 per truck so it ain't cheep.

I have a stolper cab on my 190xt and I investigated this a bit. There is a picture on this forum that I found shows a guy that did this. I tried to find out details but got no response. You have a spare pulley to use to power the compressor with a belt but you have to make a bracket to hold the compressor. I believe it has to hang out the side and he had to cut the shield to make room for the belt. The other issue that I have heard mentioned is getting an AC unit that will cool it down. I was going to use a vintage car version but was not convinced even with some insulation it would cool it down. The cost to do the AC was going to be nearly as much as I paid for the tractor. I believe those RedDots are good as mentioned above and the best solution. I ended up buying a 7010 with working AC. My 190XT has a clutch issue as well, so I have bigger problems. If you solve it, be sure and post back.

Interestingly enuff, the first 190's drove the compressor off the belt drive pulley - just have to keep the foot off the clutch :-)

My uncle put an automotive under dash unit in his Gleaner. I had planed to do the same in a 190XT but ended up buying a 200 with air. I planned on using a 200 compressor mount.

Air conditioning in the car makes driving more comfortable. Too low or too high a temperature does not give pleasure to travel. I hate driving when I can be boiled alive in my own car. I tried to install an air conditioner in the service, but my local specialists refused to do this work, without even explaining the reason. I have a friend who advised me to contact an air conditioning service company. And it really helped, very polite and accessible company https://www.airconservicingsingapore.com/ explained how to solve my problem. Try to consult with specialists regarding your problem, and it is absolutely free.
