What’d you work on today?

Mowed & weed ate (iPhone BS) the lawn and Kathy wanted to water the lawn with well water but the 5-6 yr old Murray pump motor over heated so I have a fan on it to cool it down, looking like a desert around here

Those motors are supposed to be continuous duty, so the motor might be done.

Last Murray lasted about 30 yrs, I’m thinking the door being in front of it blocked air flow and made it over heat, Im hoping that all it is, it happened before I put the fan there

 

[Shovelrick]

I think it went out on thermal over load from over heating it’s working now, we’ll I hope that’s all it was

The cocksucker that was supposed to buy the '70 vert backed out last night and then had the balls to ask for his deposit back.
I held the car for him for 3 weeks, telling multiple interested people that it was sold. He was supposed to fly in today and pay for it.

Deposit was paid by PayPal goods & services, so they'll side with him if we don't return it.
Now I'm pissed.

I’m annoyed for you. What does that guy think a deposit is? It’s an agreement that you will hold the item for me and in exchange for that you get to keep my money if I can’t keep up my end of the bargain.

The way he thinks it works, there is no risk to him. He’s the only one who benefits from the deal. What a jackass.

Can you negotiate a refund of part of the deposit? If you got a little, it’d be better than nothing.

It sucks that PayPal would necessarily agree with him. Maybe that’s why he went with paypal (or was that yours or a mutual decision), because he knew there was zero risk for him.

I’m not a flake so I like to treat like they aren’t flakes but I think Kevin is right. It’s for sale to the first MF who shows up with 100% funds in hand.

 

[Shovelrick]

I’m honestly thinking I would tell PP Hey I lost a few sales sitting on the car this guy put a DEPOSIT on so Why should I refund since he Reneged on the deal HE made?

My old friend (and old boss) that owns Ivey League Realty called me today and asked if I was interested in fixing his mortgage brokers 2 ac’s at his home, both broke down at the same time, first thing I thought was a power problem but Charlie had asked him if any other 230 volt powered appliances still worked like clothes dryer & stove/oven and they worked so I drove to Feather Sound in Clearwater to see what was up, burnt breaker on the 1.5 ton master bedroom system and the attic unit was on the correct breaker size being 30 amp, the outdoor unit Max was 15 amp but on a 30 amp, installers used an old unused 30/30 quad that burned, can’t get a 15/30 so I had the owner go get a 20/30 wire brushed the panel blade then put Oxguard on the blade then put the new quad breaker in and had him pick up a new 20 amp single across from it since it was a little burnt too, that cured the small 2020 Goodman system, the main house Diakin system needed a new 70/5 start/run capacitor, I had the owner go to Diakin/Goodman and pick it up while he was out getting the breaker, I called it in for Will Call, I sat around playing with their pitbull Zippy while I waited for parts lol, Very tight attic

As long as the monies are good, and Feather Sound is a nicer area.

Sold a TR6 engine and transmissions this morning.
I now have the funds to Buy the VMC, still working on shipping cost.
In theory I have a buyer for my MM PU in about a week.
If he does not back out I will have the funds I need.

I love cash. Especially if it's over $600.

What recovery system do you use? I plan on getting a smaller one with a recovery tank as I can see I'll be doing a bit of A/C work on the cars and trucks I have.

 

[JohnC]

The ac hoses that came with the kit have 90 degree fittings attached to the evaporator end, so I don't think I can feed those fittings through the grommet in the blower motor cap.
I can do the heater hoses from that end.
I had a previous install on a camaro where I bought the ac hose kit that allows you to install the fittings. It's a lot more expensive, so I bought the already assembled hoses.
Hope that wasn't a mistake !

When you get to the evaporator, please
Post some pics if you are able. I just couldn’t bring myself to pay 3x more for a direct fit evaporator so I’ll have to figure out some mounts.

Do you mean condenser, or is it actually the evaporator (inside the heater / a/c box)? I'd think the evaporator would be pretty cheap, wouldn't it? Now the condenser on the other hand can be quite pricey.

I have a portable Protech, I’ll Google for spelling and it’s been a very good unit. I use 50lb tanks but 30lb are available

Condenser. A direct fit (parallel flow)from that place in Florida (Old Air Products) is near $365 I think. I bought a same size universal for less than a hundred I think.
I’m using my original evaporator. It looks to be intact and clean so I saw no reason to get a new one.

Just make sure you flush out the old evaporator to make sure it doesn't pollute the system (and any other components that aren't new).

My new friend a mobile boat/auto ac guy said always use the largest cond coil you can fit
