We pressure tested the system to day and it's leaking from the input shaft on the compressor.
So I need to rebuild the compressor, but who has parts for it?




No need to rebuild the compressor, just install a new seal. Seal kits are readily available.

John is 100% correct on everything he told you ! If you have a r12 system,leave it a r12 system Much cooler and longer lasting than any converted system and these days not any more money if you do it correct. I have been doing ac from 1968 to present and in my opinion, if you have a fact unit.. use it as intended

I don't buy into it's not as cold hype, my system is colder.
And there's really no way to argue it costs the same. Simple math

No it isn't, I have a 509 license and they're easy to get online. BTW, it's also illegal to go 66 mph in a 65 zone....how many here are guilty?







OP means an EPA section 609 license and yes, very easy to get online.

How long does it take to reach that temperature after soaking in the sun all day with the windows closed and an interior temp of 130?

Here in Md I had to take a course in 1992 to get my certfied license for R12. Course anyone can buy the 134. I have been around and working on AC systems since about 1974. To me the 134 gets almost as cold as the R12 but I agree it takes longer to get that cold. I have done many conversions like Gus has done converting an R12 system to 134 because most people dont want to pay what the R12 is and they dont want to shop Ebay for it. I did not know you could get the R12 much cheaper on Ebay as thats nice. And to think of how many cans of R12 I used to have around my garage since most of the time under warranty we could get an extra can of R12 when we worked on it and I must have had 2 cases of R12 at one time but not anymore.
