Well Rob, since I officially retired from coal mines in Feb. and been doing this lll dinky dirt business, actually started it before I retired, I been using a barrel and hand pump to fuel equipment. I broke down and ordered me a brand new fuel transfer tank and lectric pump from Northern Tool. It should be here in 7 to 9 days, and am excited to get to just stand there and pump fuel and whistle, stead of wearing my arm out pumping and having barrel slide around in bed of pickup. I also ordered me a Lincoln continuous flow air operated grease gun. This is gonna be so much fun, hell, my arm muscles may atrophy now from non-use! Take a break from your screwing round and come to texas and we will play with my new toys, will even let u squirt my grease gun! Have nice , safe holiday, and eat a hot dog or 12. Komrade Randy

As you know mackmann, its no speed demon, pulls bout 55 loaded or empty, have to work your aux. on a few hills, interesting story few weeks ago, 2 young guys passed me on narrow road, passenger stuck arm out and flipped me off, lil did they know, coal train had country road blocked going into power plant, just over next rise, train usually blocks road for 15 minutes. Well, I really aint the picture of health, have had 3 heart surguries, have diabetes,am 56 and weigh bout 160 pounds. They were the car sitting in front of me, so I pondered moment, said hell, aint had a good cardio workout in a while, but I got this real neat lil tire knocker, short piece of cable with lead ball on end, got out with it, kinda twirling it like a cop does a baton, approached passenger, he rolled window up real fast, I kinda laughed and said, "we really do need to talk bout your manners, you wanna roll it down, or just cover your eyes and I will open it for you". Well, he rolled it down, apologized, said he was just kidding so went on back to truck fore i got in trouble or they took knocker away from me. I probably shouldnt act that way but sometimes ya just get tired of that shit. (I was just glad he apologized),,,"speak softly and carry a big tire knocker Randy

A powerful senator dies after a prolonged illness. His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance.

"Welcome to Heaven," says St. Peter. "Before you settle in, it seems there is a problem. We seldom see a high official around these parts, you see, so we're not sure what to do with you."

"No problem, just let me in," says the guy.

"Well, I'd like to but I have orders from higher up. What we'll do is have you spend one day in Hell and one in Heaven. Then you can choose where to spend eternity."

"Really, I've made up my mind. I want to be in Heaven," says the senator.

"I'm sorry but we have our rules."

And with that, St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to Hell. The doors open and he finds himself in the middle of a green golf course. In the distance is a clubhouse and standing in front of it are all his friends and other politicians who had worked with him, everyone is very happy and in evening attire. They run to greet him, hug him, and reminisce about the good times they had while getting rich at the expense of the people. They play a friendly game of golf and then dine on lobster and caviar. Also present is the Devil, who really is a very friendly guy who has a good time dancing and telling jokes. They are having such a good time that before he realizes it, it is time to go. Everyone gives him a big hug and waves while the elevator rises. The elevator goes up, up, up and the door reopens on Heaven where St. Peter is waiting for him.

"Now it's time to visit Heaven."

So 24 hours pass with the head of state joining a group of contented souls moving from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing. They have a good time and, before he realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by and St. Peter returns.

"Well then, you've spent a day in Hell and another in Heaven. Now choose your eternity."

He reflects for a minute, then the senator answers, "Well, I would never have said it, I mean Heaven has been delightful, but I think I would be better off in Hell."

So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to Hell. Now the doors of the elevator open and he is in the middle of a barren land covered with waste and garbage. He sees all his friends, dressed in rags, picking up the trash and putting it in black bags. The Devil comes over to him and lays his arm on his neck. "I don't understand," stammers the senator."Yesterday I was here and there was a golf course and club and we ate lobster and caviar and danced and had a great time. Now all there is, is a wasteland full of garbage and my friends look miserable.

The Devil looks at him, smiles and says, "Yesterday we were campaigning! Today you voted for us! The election is over."

very good rowdy, avery true to a politicians character, most of them that go to hell probably screw that up too,,,colonaded archbishop randy of texas, also shriner with upside down purple popcorn buckeat with tassel

It sounds like randyp finished his work in the "lagoon". I think maybe he's running out of new titles for himself (although I did enjoy Climate Control Tech randy), so I came up with a new one for him. How does Excrement Excavation and Extraction Specialist sound? Maybe he could be Beautician randy, after all he knows all about the exfoliating propeties of an acid bath. Maybe Mad Scientist randy? There are still alot of possibilites out there. I hope you had fun and didn't have to wallow in it too much randyp.

heh heh heh,,cant help it, thas just funny! Im gonna start calling you comedian rhasler. That job paid well, but is certainly nice to be out of there, moved equipment and been cleaning on it all day so far, just came home for lunch. To bend a statement from an old war movie,,,"I just love the smell of lagoon shit in the morning". I subbed laggon shit stead of napalm. Have a good day,,,Excrement Excavation and Extraction Specialist Randy

Dang Mike. Looks good! Wish I had that much room around my truck LOL!!! If I'm working on mine and have to change my mind.......I have to walk outside LMAO!!!! If you're more then 150lb soak'n wet....you can't walk around it either!! ( the main reason Rob has never come over)

Rob said he was wearing "Depends" manly diapers,but they got so wet and full, he was afraid he would fall and couldnt geta up, not to mention all the squishy noises he made when he moved, (wich is kinda rare}.BP would probably arrest him on sight for all the leaking hes doing. I may consider not being so hard on my favorite, genius advisor,,,oh,well,,,naaaah,,hes to fun to pick at, and he takes it so well,,"I think". I sure could use a nice shop like that Mike, make things so much easier. I broke ground foar one but its pretty far off in some woody, grown up land i own, so i been steadily clearing a road to it, and had to buy a 48 inch tinhorn, 30 feet long to cross a big creek. Dont want anyone pestering me when im there thinking, inventing, and tearing shit up, be a while for i finish it, not even gonna tell lil wifey where it is. Oh well, moved all equipment to big gravel yard today, got steam cleaner rented, gonna try to get all "dairy" remnants off it, and make it normal again. probably need to invest in a hazmat suit. Yall all have a good fourth july and keep the shiny side up and rubber side down, the big thing tween ditches and lil thing in britches. later dudettes,,,Fire Marshal randy

Both trucks are in a HAPPY place now, with bright lights and insulation. Also a Rob Smoke Fan in the back, top of garage to keep from waking up later with a terrible headache and stubbling around looking drunk. Ya got to hand it to him,....he's an interesting earth being.

mike

Looks good there Mike, wish you wouldnt show pics of B model all shining and pretty though, mines sitting out in pasture with cow shit slung all over back of it. You cant beat good bright lights either. By the way, Rob is not really an earth being, I think hes from uranus,,,heh heh,,,King randy

Thad makes some very valid points and there are a few more to go with them:

In a new system such as yours that is untested, one needs to ensure there is enough lubricating oil within the system. A very good ratio of PAG, or ester oil to refrigerant capacity is seven ounces of oil per pound of refrigerant in the system. Too little oil and the compressor does not last. Typically the aftermarket suppliers are using either a Sanden compressor, or a variant of the type. These have a sump with a plug in the side of the body. With the compressor level, remove the plug, and fill the sump with oil to the bottom of the threads in the body and replace the plug. Remove the plugs in the suction and discharge ports and pour about 1/2 ounce oil in each and turn the compressor clutch slowly over by hand. When you have made about six revolutions of the clutch, install the plugs back into the compressor ports. Now either install onto the engine or place in an out of the way place so you can lose it............

After you mount your condensor, evaporator and ancillary equipment and just before running the linesets, pour about 2 ounces of oil in the condensor, and evaporator with the balance in the receiver/dryer, or accumulator. Figuring about a 2 pound refrigerant capacity system you will now have between 12, and 14 ounces total oil in the system and this is enough to get started. I then install the lineset(s), (lubricate any "O" rings with refrigerant oil) and tighten to proper torque. Use ample clamp to secure the lines from the enging mounted compressor to the evaporator and condensor also.

As Thad stated pull the system into a deep vacume in excess of 29.75 inches and let the system dwell with the vacume pump running at least two hours. One step further I take is to introduce 50 psi of nitrogen into the system and allow it to set for at least 30 minutes to extract any remnants of moisture check for leaks/integrity. After passing these tests, the system is again pulled into a vacume for a couple minutes. I then introduce liquid refrigerant into the high side charge port while the refrigerant bottle sets on a calibrated scale. When there has been one pound of liquid refrigerant introduced into the system, I shut the flow off. This is allowed to stabilize and "flash", or evaporate into a gas within the system so the compressor is not "slugged" upon startup. About two minutes is enough but if the system is started immediately and liquid refrigerant hits the compressor, it's bye bye time for the valves in the compressor.

At this time you can engage the system and begin to introduce more refrigerant in the form of gas into the low side, (suction port) of the compressor. Dependent upon the ambient temperature of the air will dictate your compressor discharge pressure but stay below 300 psi at all times. Most R-134 systems will not let you exceed 350 psi as a safety precaution and will shut the compressor down by releasing the clutch. With the windows closed in the cabin keep charging and looking for about a 33-35 degree evaporator temperature as indicated on your suction, or low side gauge that is blue in color. Using R-134 refrigerant with an ambient temperature of 90 degrees F, you should be about 255 psi to 270 psi dependent on humidity level. Don't overcharge the system as efficiency degrades quickly and loss of cooling is the result. Watch closely as you near the 33 degree temperature because I've seen several times a guy walk away and introduce more refrigerant than needed with less than desirable results.

Most of Red Dot's roof mount units have a built in fan to pull air across the roof mounted condensor so you will not need a fan. If you use a front of radiator mount condensor coil you would need to place a box fan to blow cooling air across the coil.

Keep note of how much refrigerant has been introduced into the system via the scale. When your low side suction gauge reads about 30 degrees run a calculation of how much oil the system is still short assuming the seven ounces of oil to refrigerant ratio and continue to introduce the needed amount of oil. The refrigerant will circulate it within the system.

Just aint no doubt bout it Rob, you are indubidably handier than horns on a billy goat! I printed that out, made a lil presentation cover for it and titled it "Robs AC bible". really do thank you and thad for help, will keep you informed of progress when i get started. prime minister randy

You also have to have it charged and make sure you have the oil charged as well. That might run you upward of $75-$150 depending on the amount of refrigerant used. You can do it yourself but you need to invest in a charging manifold and vacuum pump. I did just that and have successfully charged a few systems myself with great results. Bought a Cooler Master charging manifold for around $80 and a used JB Industries vacuum pump off ebay ($150). JB pumps are made in the USA and they provide part lists and exploded view diagrams to rebuild and service the pump as necessary (http://www.jbind.com/).

Charging is simple. Hook both the red high side and blue low side hoses to the AC system and hook the yellow hose to the vacuum pump (some manifolds have 4 hoses one for vacuum and the other for refrigerant). Then make sure your pump is full of oil and then turn it on. Open both the high and low side valves on the manifold to begin the pump down. Give it an hour or two to pull a nice vacuum and also eliminate any moisture and vapor from the system. You should be able to pull and sustain a vacuum of 29 inches of mercury (<20Torr). Then shut both valves on the manifold, disconnect the pump and then connect the yellow line to a can or tank of refrigerant. Start the vehicle and slowly crack the low side valve letting the refrigerant into the low side. This will build up pressure in the low side and charge the system. Sometimes the pressure in the low side gets high enough tso as the refrigerant in the can or tank wont evaporate. That's an easy problem to fix, get a pail or bucket of warm water and submerge the can into the water. This causes the pressure to quickly build from the can forcing it to empty. Keep charging until the low side can run at a stable 40PSI and the high side around 250PSI (that is for R134a). Oh and never charge the system from the high side unless you want the charging can to explode.

The equipment cor charging can run you upward of $300 but you can charge any modern refrigeration system. Maybe make a few bucks on the side charging AC systems.

Thanks for all the helpful info Thaddeus, I had actually forgot bout the charging part. I have a manifold, but it is from years ago and wont fit anything now. Ive never owned a vaccum pump, may just have to get me some of that stuff, after what they charge for all that nowadays. It would sure be nice to sit in excavator with cold air blowing down on my lil head, be able to shut doors and windows and actually hear radio. Thanks for help,,,Pope Randy IV

I am running for the county board here in Boone county. We were in the our local week early 4th of July parade. This was by far the best day of campaigning, because we worked a truck into the mix.-Brad

Yeah, thas right HK. I got my poor lil dozer and excavator and dump truck so dirty and smelly today, dont know whether to try and wash them or just sell , and start over. I been off in a "Dairy Lagoon". I do any more of these in future, gonna have to charge em extra for the smell. Hell, not sure if they will ever clean up. I did have me a lil slurp of raw cows milk right out of the "chiller" before I left there today, owner insisted, but I do believe I will stick with store bought milk. It had been a long time since I had any as a kid, and I have definitely lost a taste for it. I am still planning on the Red Dot roof air for excavator, link you gave me really came in handy,,thanks,,,Attorney General Randy

HK, called yesterday and got price on complete roof AC package, its $1900.00 plus $75.00 if I need a universal comprressor bracket. I suppose that sounds kinda high, thats if I do the install myself. It shouldnt be much trouble, just cut hole in roof, mount unit, mount compressor, run hoses and wire it up. However, have been kknown to say "probably be a piece of cake" before and got my ass bit pretty good. Thats for the heavier duty unit designed for offroad equipment, looks pretty ruggedly built. The cheapest unit was for trucks, weighed lot less, less BTU,s, and price wasnt really much cheaper. Thanks for link info, gonna try to get it pretty quick and cool my lil bony ass off a little in there. will let you know how all goes, thanks again,,,,Climate Control Tech. Randy

Mother Nature doesn't like the swamp ass though...she told me that one day...

LOL, you got that right Gambi, by bout one in the evening, im all wet and smelling like my ass been drug through a swamp! We been averaging bout 102 or 103 here every day, but the worst part is the dam humidity, hell, cant even breathe here. I may be a sissy, but here pretty soon im gonna be a cool sissy. Judge Randy (I am just bou t to run out of official titles and may have to start over) P.S. keep that load of grenades clear of texas, one may cook off here.

I...ummm...uhhh...sorry-can't help you with that.

All this love and thankfullness just makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, (and maybe a lil damp) Im just so glad we can show so much brotherly love and cameradery, and to think we owe it all to those wonderful MACK trucks, and Barry and his innovative ideas.
