[AT] Air conditioner question

[Lew Best]

Hey guys

 

I made a deal yesterday on a Ford 9600 with air conditioner not working.  It
hasn't been delivered yet but I'm trying to get a little info ahead of time.
It may be nothing more than the belt (wishful thinking probably) as it don't
have one on it; compressor clutch center turns by hand tho so I don't think
it's locked up like the guy said he thought it was.  I'm familiar enough
with automotive type air to fix it but I feel sure it's an r12 unit; no tag
saying it's been converted to 134.

 

I'd heard something about this a few years ago; there's a product called
Freeze 12 (& doing a Google search I found another one; Enviro Safe) that
supposedly don't require all the oil changing, etc. that 134 does; you just
evacuate the system & put it in (of course if it's leaked the old out I'll
fix the leak & put a new dryer on it).  Anyone ever used either of these
products?  Looks like they'd be the way to go IF they work satisfactorily.

 

Input appreciated!
