Hey guys, got an off the wall question here. I'm using a 4-53 power unit on the hay debailer contraption I've been working on for a customer. This thing is going to have a JD 9930, cotton picking combine cab, set up for as an operator's station. The customer want's it to be both heated and cooled. The heat and A/C unit is in the top of the cab so that part is no problem, and obviously all the heat part needs is two lines from the engine's cooling system. As it stands, for the A/C side, I have already scratch built a a new radiator shroud to let me mount the A/C coil in front of the radiator, as well as allow the customer to access and clean out around the radiator due to the dirty, dusty, debris filled operating conditions this thing will see in use.
That said all I've got left is to get the A/C compressor mounted. I know I can custom build a mount, and belt adjustment setup, but given the shear amount of other stuff I've got to do I'd much preffer to get something off the shelf, so to speak, if possible. As it stands I've got a power unit with the right side (facing the rear of the engine) aux drive pulley being used to power the alternator, so I need something to mount on the left side.
I know these engines were used in alot of equipment over the years, both civilian and military. Does anyone know where I might come up with an A/C compressor mount for one of the rotary piston type pumps ((haven't seen any kind of name or model number on it)) with a 4 bolt mount. Any tips or leads would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Wayne
