If you took it to a shop to have it switched over to R-134A I'm gonna guess in the neighborhood of $1100 dollars: $350 for the compressor, around $200 for lined hoses, $50 in fittings and any other miscellaneous items...and probably in the range of $500 for labor. The actual component change out typically doesn't take that long, but sometimes to fish the new hoses up the cab supports can be quite an undertaking. It also pays to spend a half hour looming some of the hoses at potential rub points to avoid future leaks. After that it's just a leak check, a good hour on the vacuum pump, then it's time to charge it with refrigerant and a good run check. It sounds like a lot of money, but properly done it will give you years and years of dependable service. If you decide to go this particular route, I would stay away from the ag dealerships or automotive guys. In most cases, these are guys that are trained and certified to repair A/C systems, but most of their time is spent fixing other pieces of equipment. I would recommend talking to a Thermo King or Carrier Transicold shop. They do a lot of truck refrigeration and know the nuances of these type of heavy service air conditioners...and in most cases have the same labor rates as the ag dealers or automotive shops. Good luck! If you have any questions feel free to shoot me an email. Billy

As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
