Went up to Mt.Ida AR for the weekend. Put roughly 520 on road and 40 off road miles on our rigs in preparation for SAS #6 this August. Bluebonnet rocked the trails and got me home with 0 issues.

Yeah these guys have perfected their craft. They have every fitting imaginable on inventory. The old timer Shaun who works there has been there for years. He did all my lines in like 20 minutes. Price is fair too. Hard to justify buying the tools when we’ll only use them once per rig.We have a shop in Wilmington NC, Diesel Parts of Carolina. That guy is a wizard. He made up my AC hose, PS hose and even a hydraulic line for my 1969 JD 140. They can do it all.
It is always justified to buy tools! What if………… you need them then.Yeah these guys have perfected their craft. They have every fitting imaginable on inventory.

I would be careful about running the AC system low on freon. The freon also contains the oil for the system.
I’m not an expert and never stay at Holiday Inn either, but if it has the amount oil it calls for in it I would run it. Throw a regular can of freon in the tool bag to add if necessary.Has oil. Added separately. Some did blow out. Pressure is 45 low, 250 high. With one can. Temps were 105F when we did this. Truck was run to see if things stabilize and will check pressures. I go by gauges more than I do quantity. Cools well which is the other thing. We can add the next Freon can with some that has oil in it.

This was my concern as well. I added 8oz of PAG to the system. Because of the leak I do not know the total PAG oil level left in the system. Made a call with SAS approaching and other items on the chopping block left to do. Will keep an eye on it.I was going to ask if the compressor comes pre oiled and how much PAG that system specs.
