I have a question for any and all you guys about this. I have a sound gard cab I bought from the collage. They were teaching A/C and it was used as a demo for the class. It is all like new and came with all the original parts. We had in mind to install it on our 4320 that has the roll bar and canopy. Does any one know where to put the condenser for the A/C??? Thanks for all the pictures. If anyone ever does find these tractors or have another cab conversion please post lots of pic's. I also have a 4520 that needs a referb on its roll gard cab.
I am in the process of completing the A/C on my tractor now. See, with the old 'square' cabs like the Hinson, the condenser and evaporator are both in the top of the cab. Those were not very reliable. But modern systems have the condenser mounted in front of the radiator for more reliable air flow. So that is where I have mine mounted. On the 6030 there isn't a lot of room, just a small rectangle next to the fuel tank. But the condenser doesn't have to be a john deere tractor condenser. We are actually using one from a car that is the length and width we need. It is very thin too. Only about an inch thick so it's going to work out very well. The guy helping me has done several on 6030s and 7520s. As I recall on the 4620, there is an oil cooler and cylindrical hydraulic reservoir in front of the radiator, but I believe there would still be adequate room for the condenser. Even if you had to do some 're-arranging' of those components. |
Anyone have pics of Sound Guard cab on older JD tractor?
