There was some talk a while back about onboard air over at the "Other Place".How fast will a York fill up say a 30 gallon tank?Also,how much trouble would it be to install one where the AC compressor once sat?Think I am gonna omit the AC on the Enterprise when it hits the road again......I can live with 4-70 AC.Did it for 5 years with White Lightning.....except it was 1 1/2-70 since the drivers side window died and only had the vent on that side.Gotta have something that can pump some serious air and not take a week and a day(Right now I am looking at 2 or maybe 3 Viair 550C compressors but they ain't cheap and will draw 75 amps alone!

i also have a york.its a reman unit right from CASEIH.
bought it to fix the a/c on the 4366 before i left the farm and took it with me when i left.
how do you know how big or what stroke unit you have? :D
you would think that for being used on a good sized farm tractor it would be the bigger unit.(c'mon i'm ready for'um :rotflmao )

I was told it was for better oil control...

On edit
I just looked at the York modification pictures linked above and they clicked something in my memory, I am quite sure it involved the oil drainback passages. I dissasembled a LH and RH compressor about a year ago to see what was different and convinced myself at that time it was better to have the correct compressor, the oil passages are definately different.

Kilby's site has a lot of York information including the complete York factory manual. Kilby onboard air
The York factory manuals available on Kilby's site mention the suction port location, the "FAQ" and "compressors" pages also mention it.

I was in a hurry and couldnt find the link when I made my first post :(

for the viewers linking over from TDS

i thought that tardstop management wouldn't let them link here?


if you want to keep your ac put a oasis on it (or it would be simple to build your own)... it has a york compressor on it and works just as good if not better than a engine mount

just some food for thought

Towcat is that installed in the factory AC position? I'd like to see an install with the sepentine belt and AC still functioning.

Correct on the oil passage. If the suction and discharge lines are not orientated properly you will get mucho oil passage.

Any York install does require a coalescing filter ahead of the tank. No matter what, Yorks will send oil out the discharge line. They send more at higher rpms (above 1500 rpm range). The coalescing filter coalescs the small particles into larger ones so they drop out the air stream. You can then run a return line from the filter to the pump or put a holding tank and drain it every so often.

You can tell the series of York by looking at the end of the shaft. This requires the user to remove the clutch. www.onboardair.com has info that can be d/l'ed on clutch removal and inspection of the shaft.

I have (2) 10 cfm Yorks sitting in my garage with one waiting to go in my 350. I'm trying to find myself a driver side battery tray from a '99 SD so I can put my tymar in and make room for the York. I already have my bracket made and a pulley will be finished shortly. For the pulley, I am mounting a single v-groove pulley to a serp. pulley for the PS pump. I'll then run the York off of the PS pump with the single v-groove belt.


Oasis pumps are nice, but they use a starter motor (sa Daryl has mentioned in the past) and they draw some SERIOUS amps from the batteries. Thus a serious chargeing system is needed. Lots of people want a electric motor as they don't have to run the motor like a York needs. Anytime they do some serious inflating or running of air tools, they will still have to run the truck to charge the batteries. Yorks are still in the lead with their large cfm ratings.
