The AC is out on my B2650. Again.
Was out last Spring first time I wanted to use it. Kubota dealer fixed it under warranty while I waited. Bad o-ring on a compressor fitting.
Out this Spring. Local mechanic replaced the same o-ring and fixed a leaking Schrader valve. Didn't last, went to use it 2 weeks later and the compressor was kicking on and off due to low pressure.
Took it back to the mechanic and we checked everything under the hood for leaks using a UV light. Nothing showing anywhere on the compressor, receiver, condenser or any of the plumbing.
That pretty much leaves the evaporator in the cab. That's a fairly time-consuming fix and would run into a pretty good chunk of change. The original trip to the local feller was in an attempt to avoid having to trailer it 60+ miles to the dealer and leave it for a week.
The tractor is still under warranty so I took it back to Kubota. I've no doubt they'll fix it right.
My question is whether this is a thing on Kubota AC in general or the 2650 in particular?
