Has anyone with a cab tractor had problems with their air conditioning? I was running my tractor earlier this week and the a/c seemed like it was working good for a couple of hours and then I realized it was getting hot in the cab(it was only 75 degrees outside). I got out of the tractor to rake some dirt but I let it sit and idle. All of a sudden I heard a whine coming from the tractor and then I saw some smoke coming from under the hood. I shut down the tractor and opened up the hood. The smoke was coming from the clutch on the a/c compressor. The insulation on the wires that run into the clutch were all melted/burnt off the copper. I called my dealer and they said "yup sounds like the clutch went, we'll order one today". I can still use the tractor, just no a/c, but thats like riding around in a green house! I was curious if anyone else had their a/c fail? Has anyone been able use their a/c for a couple of hundred trouble free hours? I've only got 25 hours on my tractor and so far I really like the tractor and the cab but with with out reliable a/c the cab is going to be no fun in the summer heat. I know this sounds like a silly problem but I just want to know if the a/c is reliable on these tractors.
