You stated you do have gauges on both sides. The compressor does run. No need to bypass the pressure switch then. Once you introduce freon into the system the pressure switch will close and allow the clutch to engage. Rarely would a switch bypass be necessary. I'm still curious as to what the...

I'm not sure I agree with that. Not that I've tried it, but I believe you can charge a system without pulling a vacuum. Not saying it will work properly, or last very long, but I think it's possible. The claim here is that it won't take a charge. That doesn't sound like a vacuum related issue...

What pressures are you reading on your gauges while charging?

Evaporator is clean. I just had it all apart last week, flushed the system, installed new compressor, drier, and expansion valve. From what I can tell the vent ducting is free and clear. It's all under the cab floor, so it's hard to actually see. As for the cab filter, regardless of condition...

I'm working on what (from my experience anyway) is a strange air conditioning complaint. The tractor has had this issue for some time, possibly a year or more. The symptom is this. The tractor is used mainly for PTO work pulling a 15 ft batwing. System works fine, blows cold air as expected...

What valve operates the loader? Is a part of the Bush Hog package? Does it have six lines on it or seven? Is it directly connected into tractor hydraulics or supplied from another valve? That might offer a starting point.

Which is better? $225 part or $2250 labor? We all make choices in this world. And don't forget when you cut the line, measure twice, cut once. Compensate for the added length of the coupler.

Plan on a major teardown, rebuild project.

I'm not surprised that you're having a tough time figuring out how to slip that into place. It's most likely impossible without taking a bunch of other stuff apart first. Having been through similar situations a few times I've often found the easiest way to go is to cut the line in a convenient...

You know what they say about opinions (and what they're worth). Here's another. 6K for thirteen hp? My lawn mower has more than that. Hang a loader on it and it will take all it has just to climb a little grade, much less do any work. To each his own I guess...

https://viox.com/understand-5-pin-relay-and-how-it-works/ The socket you pictured SHOULD be the switched control circuit as I see it. I would examine the relay you removed from that socket for any numbered pins. The one marked 87 would be the circuit to the PTO solenoid. Applying 12 volts to...

What you have appears to be mostly standard five pin relays. The two pins one on each side would be numbered pins 85 and 86. Those are the power and ground circuit to energize the relay's internal coil. The other three pins in the center. The vertical one (on the bottom) is pin 30 which is...

Always plenty of comments/opinions on this sort of thing. Here's one more. I suggest you study a bit and confirm just what ports/fittings you're talking about BEFORE you start removing things and plugging ports. Hydraulic fluid needs to follow certain paths or damage (or even injury) can...

You tried both sides and the same result? Neither tire will spin?
