Are there any alternative sources for the three (or four?) groove water pump pulley to drive the compressor with?
York OBA install

The three groove pulley is probably the hardest part of this setup to source. At this point you either have to get one custom machined (which is what the group buy was all about) or weld a single pulley to the front of the stock fan pulley as no one is currently producing these.
I looked at the motor today as it was vibrating and could easily see that the york (even though not pumping air) was vibrating badly.
So I got out my wire clippers and cut the Korean Belt off of the unit.
No more vibration.
So, . . . now I'm gonna try one of the belts that isn't so short.
I completely disassembled the flywheel to clean the York after I got it. So perhaps I didn't put it back together correctly?
Didn't seem like a lot of room for error ~ everything was pressed together.
Any thoughts?

I doubt you put it together wrong. My York setup has a vibration almost through the entire RPM range, REALLY hard to get used to. I also noticed that the belt I am using rubs the A/C belt.
OK, I bought the longer belt (gates this time) and so far . . . the air compressor vibrates much much less.

As I mentioned above, I found that Napa belt 7375 was a little tight to install (I have to install the tensioner pulley and the belt at the same time) so I figured I would switch it out to the next size up (Napa 7380). After a little detective work I found that a pair of 7380 belts are specified as a replacement for the fan/alternator belts on a 1984 Toyota Pickup with the 2.4L diesel engine. I looked it up on ToyoDIY and found the part number (90916-02281-77) and ordered them. They came in today and I put one on this afternoon. Replacing the cogged aftermarket belt with a solid Toyota V-belt did quiet down the belt noise a little bit. And since they came as a pair like the LC fan/alternator belts do, I now have a spare York belt!
Just wanted to share in case anyone else was looking for an OEM belt for their York setup to use instead of the Napa 7380 belt.

Can you still get these brackets? I would love to have OBA on my truck. It's so convenient.
I don't see it on Slee's site anymore, but that doesn't mean they won't build you one... maybe shoot them an email?

No need to mess with a york to have OBA. https://forum.ih8mud.com/camping-outdoor-gear/166969-puma-12v-compressor.html

Sweet. I found my christmas present.
I built a bracket for my York in about 3 hours one Saturday and set it up to run of a long AC belt. No need for extra tensioners or special water pump pulleys. Its also nice and close to the motor to allow lots of room between it and my 2nd battery box.
Airing up tires is a treat now at idle it takes about 40sec to air up my 315's from 15psi to 40psi.

I recently saw one for sale in classified. I also picked up one too and am in the progress of building my OBA. I had to change my pulley on my York 210 so I picked one up fron Ryder. Good luck and keep posting

Do you have any photo's of your set up and bracket? If I could add it and just change the pulley on the york and get a longer belt that would be awesome. I also might just buy my buddies Viair compressors that he pulled off a mini truck that had air bags.

I got the idea from this site, no need to worry about the hard water line if you set it up right. The belt part number there is the one I used and it worked great too. The rest of my set-up is like the one on the first page here.

does it have to be a york? Can't I just pull any AC compressor from a junk yard and work it that? Don't they all basically work the same? If so I'll just get any AC Compressor I can find and get a plate fabricated. As far a lubrication is concerned I could just fill it with oil and cap it off couldn't I?
The York 210 is one of the highest output compressors you can use. Most of the kits that I have seen where built were around the York.

York 210 = 10.3 ci (169 cc)

Hate that mud...
The biggest reason to use a York has to do with lubrication. Most compressors use the freon in the A/C system for lubrication. The York, on the other hand, has a separate oil reservoir and is fully lubricated by the connecting rods splashing oil all around. Plus they put out a bunch of air.
sorry for the silly question.
has anyone install a york in to the hj80 4.2 diesels.

I have seen a few pictures of someone doing it in place of the AC compressor on a 1HZ.
