[QUOTE="XFIRE82, post: 141168, member: 2292"] those original compressors were very good units, I have a few of them running as many farm equipment companies used them also, even Ford used them. They are virtually trouble free other than a leaky seal eventually or clutch bearing, both which can be easily replaced. Should be cheaper to rebuild yours than buying a Rebuilt one , my guess just a seal kit and if you can do it yourself then not a big deal. Probably hard to find R12 freon there, but if not then 134a will be next choice. Or if any salvage yards out there, go looking under the hood of any old GM's or Fords and if you see a compressor all lines in tact yet press the high or low valve and if it has pressure then you know that one is good ( just like a tire valve ).
