air compressor oil
I have not been able to find the bottle of oil I bought many years ago specifically for automotive A/C. However, I have a bottle of air compresor oil which says it is mineral oil with a viscosity of 301 Saybolt. It looks identical in size and shape to the other bottle, and I know I'm really asking for it, but is there any chance I can use this oil in my R4 compressor?

What are you doing using an AIR compressor on your car ? What implements does it run ?

500 cold flow is all I have seen for Air CONDITIONER oil....

"(525 SUS Viscosity) Mineral oil developed for use in General Motors automotive air-conditioning systems. Soon became the industry standard for all automotive manufacturers. Mineral is for use in automotive systems using R-12 refrigerants"
It's $5.00/qt.....splurge. http://www.ackits.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=Oils

The difference between 525 and 500 is not enough to count in any of our systems.... I just did not want people thinking was pulling numbers out of the air... or being loose in stating what I had seen published....There are very few things I say in AC threads which are not directly from some reference source....

Thank you all, I will look for a local source for the 500-525 SUS oil.

If I can get a 300D non-turbo "motor" with the York AC compressor mounted to put in my next Land Cruiser project, I will report on the implements I run with that MB.

I'm still trying to figure out where I can bolt a 10,000watt generator.

I think you will have to use all your trunk space for that 10K generator . Be sure and get a diesel powered one , but where are you going to put your 10,000 watt sound system with the trunk full ,how about raising your roof a couple of feet.......

Of course it will be diesel powered.... just mount it inside the trunk.... put a flange on the front input shaft of the third member... with a belt to your generator....
Then when you get to where you want to use it ... just jack up the rear wheels and set your cruise control.... |

Leathermang , By God thats pure genius It really could be done they sell PTO generators at tractor stores,with the right shaft a few bearings instant power! You could charge batteries while driving and with an ele. motor convert your 126 SD into the first Diesel/Electric car on the block.You could also sell power at primitive campgrounds for big bucks to pay for the parts........
