York OBA Brackets/Pulleys

[adventr]

I have to pre-apologize for my ignorance in this subject but I was wondering how these would work. Do you simply run 12v switch to turn them on via the clutch?
I would assume you would run a filter on the inlet and outlet?
Does anyone know how these handle the cold weather?
This kit would be everything to mount the compressor but no lines or fittings?

Yep, they are triggered via single clutch wire. Signal for that typically comes from a pressure switch.

Run a filter on the inlet, plumb the outlet to a manifold/tank. These compressors were used as a/c compressors for many years, so they are well suited for use on a vehicle, even at low temps.

A complete kit would include everything to get it mounted up. You'll need to decide what you want to do after that point. Many many threads out there on plumbing onboard air setups.

Would anyone be interested in a bolt-on stainless air tank option? That's the route we're going on our personal rigs, and could make more.

These will go just in front of the OEM spare tire carrier crossmember, and have a capacity of 5gal.

I have this setup it works great used it to air up the tire on the good old snow blower this past weekend...

I have a 3gal tank but wouldn't mind a 5gal.... sub'd

To add on the cold weather issue, the only major problem that you will have is moisture in the system. It could freeze your tire chuck open. Other than that, put a multi weight oil in the compressor crank case should you be running it from a dead cold engine. Since the engine will have to be running anyway and given the location of the mounted compressor, you will have heat transfer from the exhaust manifold to the comp.
If you have icing problems, hit up a Krappy Tire or Husky Fuel Stop and grab some methyl hydrate or air brake antifreeze, put a bit down stream of the comp and blow it out of your lines.

Thanks for the info guys. This kit doesn't come with the clutch, where might a guy find one?

Salvage yards are a good place to find them cheap, and they'll come with a york compressor.

If you want new, you can check Ebay and I've also heard of people getting new clutches from a Freightliner dealership. A lot of big rigs still run the York compressors.

I will see if there are any NOS clutches left. Might be a few 6"' left. Have not had time to look though the parts.

 

[Dgurley2000]

Is the kit orderable yet?

 

[newtomelx]

I am in also if it is still being made.

 

[Dissent]

I too am very interested in a kit.

Orders can now be placed here:

We need a minimum of 25 deposits to begin production.

Received 3 deposits so far. Only 22 spots left before we can begin production!


Just to clarify a couple things I've been asked:

This kit will fit 93-97 model FZJ80s and LX450s. On the 93-94 models, you'll need to remove the PAIR Valve. It's easy to do, and if you search on here there are several threads covering it in detail.

Also, on certain models (maybe just LX450s?), you'll see that your engine has a little aluminum VIN Plate that's partially covering one of the holes in the head. Just look on the passenger side of the head, just below the valve cover toward the front of the engine to see if you have this or not.
Stainlessdoctor's LX450 had this, and it took less than a minute to pop the two rivets off with a hammer/chisel.


You'll need to snag a compressor from a source of your choice. I would prefer the 210 model, as it flows the most. Plenty of info out there in regards to the Yorks, and how to tell the difference between a 209 model and a 210.


We're also working on a bolt-in solution for an air tank (~5gal), so stay tuned on that. It will still be up to you to work out the plumbing on your OBA setup. You can go with a very simple plumbing setup, or go crazy with it. Up to you, and tons of info out there about this.

@ tim.korn,

I should have a deposit listed, as well.

Since you have a LX450, can you take a peek and see if your rig has the little VIN plate on the side of the head?

Where would this tank reside? Hopefully a space that I don't currently have occupied!
