York with a Motorcraft ID plate

[hzavarce]

Does anybody know what the numbers on a Motorcraft nameplate mean on a York compressor?

I found a York, but I won't have it in my hand until late-April, and I want to know if I have the 10cc (large displacement) one.

The numbers are:

YP 0020842
D50H-2875-A2B
03-82

Amy help will be appreciated. Thanks !

I can't help you with the numbers, but... if you can post a picture of the end of the crankshaft (with the clutch off) I can tell you what displacement it is.

were the Motorcraft ones Ford units?

Most of the Motorcraft units I have seen mount like a york, but are completely different units.

Flintknapper,

I did say that I won't have the unit in my hands until Late April. Otherwise, I would have looked at the shaft.

I only have pictures and the clutch is installed, and I don’t have anybody to pull it out for me.

I did my research before posting , thanks ! ;p

Lumpdog,

How are they completely different?. I have several pictures and it looks just like other pictures I have seen.

I think it does come from a Ford, not only because of the Motorcraft ID plate, but also this unit has the Rotolock fitting.

Yes, I read and understood that. I posted the info because the Motorcraft tag is unlike others that I have seen (in that there is no useful information on it). I recognize YOU don't have the compressor in hand, but "someone" does and might be able to provide you with the shaft information. If you have already bought it, then it's yours anyway...and we are all wasting our time here.


If not, then maybe this will help as you search for one:

Most Motorcraft tags will have a series of five numbers/letters. The last three are the displacement, and direction. Of those last three digits, the last letter is the output direction and the other two are the stroke. The three stroke numbers are: 10 = long stroke, 09 = medium stroke, 07 = short stroke. The Discharge Direction letters are: L = left, R = right. So if it's a **09R, then it's a medium stroke with a right side discharge.

The one you have pictured does not follow this rule....so I can tell you nothing about it. Also, tags are often missing or have been replaced if the unit was serviced... so they are NOT the definitive tool for identification (The shaft is).

If you have other pictures you care to post...then perhaps we can tell more about the unit. It appears to be York compressor, but there are Tecumseh units that are similar.

Flintknapper,

I’m just trying to keep my posts short and sweet. I apologize if I sounded rude, and I DO appreciate the input.

My parents live in Venezuela, and my Mom actually found the compressor for me over there. I paid less than $100 for a re-built unit. Dad took pictures and emailed them to me.

As you can imagine it is hard to go over details with my Mom, and she basically took an one page description with pictures that I sent to a parts supplier and found the compressor.

I don’t really have anybody near my Mom with enough mechanical skills to pull the clutch.

They are visiting me in April and bringing the compressor, so I’m getting it regardless if it is the right one or not.

I just wanted to find out with certainty if it is the right one to start ordering parts !!!, I can’t wait to get started.

I guess I need to hold up until I get it and pull the clutch. Here is a set of pics:

Your Dad did an excellent job with the pics!

Looks like a 210 (10 cu. in) judging by the case. It has what appears to be a 7" pulley instead of the more common 6" (no problem though). It looks like the clutch/pulley has the most common "offset" too, so I'd say you're "good to go".

Hope your folks have a safe trip and a good time here.

Flint.

I came across a motorcraft compressor today also

Was looking for a york, 210 and came across a motocraft compressor used. I will get some pictures of it, then see if this is the same as a york. It is a single v belt pulley. Will this work on a 3b? Also, are the mounting bolt holes the same measurements?

Can rebuilt kits be purchased for this unit?

Did you every think of using a swash type compressor from Sanden or Select? These should be plentiful, and I believe this type of compressor would be lighter and produce less vibration that the old York/ Tecumseh compressors. I have a Seltec TM15HD that I hope to install which has a 9.0 cu in disp.

Do swash type compressors have internal oil reservoirs? I thought that was what made the Yorks able to run on just air (without the ester oil inside the AC system).

I believe the swash type compressors retain a small amout of oil, but oil is circluated with the refigerant, so if you do use one of these types of compressor, you should install a system to add oil into the inlet air steam as well as an oil/ water filter on the discharge air stream. This adds to the complexity of the installation, but I believe a few people have tried this type of compressor on their rigs. I just wanted to mention this option, as it seemed the OP was going to a lot of trouble of having the York shipped up.
