Electric A/C compressor

You'd probably need a 100+ amp alternator for that mode. Besides, to go from

-mechanical belt to ac compressor is more efficient

than

-mechanical belt to alternator to electricity to ac compressor.

Most of the "KITS" are 24v and pull something like 90- 100 amps...... 24 x 100 is 2400 WATTS or about 3 HP....

Like them all, but love the "B"s.

If you run that high of capacity alternator at capacity, best force feed it air somehow or it most likely won't last long. A ducted fan forcing air at/through the alternator would probable work, but you'll have to deal with space constraints and packaging.

That's All Folks!

I just put in an order for a Sanden A/C Compressor Conversion Kit (AMX10167), $540, from Abilene Machine.

Planning to flush the system. Install compressor , receiver/ dryer $28, expansion valve $20 and synthetic Ester Oil $14.

Sounds like a plan Clay... and a couple baffles like Dr said and your good to go !

Product Details

Toss that ancient Frigidaire® A6 air conditioning compressor in the scrap heap and bolt on a Sanden® unit with this great upgrade kit!

This is a complete kit to retrofit a modern Sanden® compressor in place of the massive A6 unit installed from the factory. We recommend replacing the receiver drier, expansion valve or orifice tube, and cleaning or replacing the condenser for maximum performance and longevity.

The advantages of the Sanden type compressors are many, but include:

No vibration

Better cooling performance

Longer service life

Robs less engine power

There are a few heat deflectors in place. This configuration was NOT one of John Deere's better ideas.

I know several people who have the same problem with the same model.

whatever you do, adding a heat shield is a GREAT mustdo !!

not just a single slab of tin, but 2 separated by a 1/2" air gap, 3 if you've got room.

adding a duct or dedicated cooling fan will also be a BIG help !!

A duct is a great idea. Ducts work great on aircraft engines to direct cool air onto various engine accessories. I think I know where I can lay my hands on some SCAT tubing.

i would modify the side panel or cut and louver the hood if needed to get a fresh air duct from outside to the back or top of the compressor... Let the radiator fan pull the cooler air thru instead of over the hot engine.... assuming you have a pusher fan.

I have no idea what vintage/age this particular tractor is. Does it happen to have what I call an R-4 type Delco A/C compressor like from the mid/late 1980's ?? cause they were junk.

[Nippondenso] Denso - 6E171 .

Just FYI - we have a customer who purchased a small 12V RV/camper AC self contained unit and installed it on the top of the cab of a F2 Gleaner. Works great. Cost was less than that of a compressor, drier, expansion valve and freon. Pulls about the same as the cab blower and two outside motors and coil.
