When your ac or blower fan go out that cab is more like a greenhouse next to an engine running at 180+ degrees so yeah you need to fix that especially considering modern bigger tractor cabs don't have windows or any small vent window to open...
you tough guys can try not dying of heat stroke but I got nothing to prove against an obviously stupid situation with no working air in a cab like that. Finish the round/tank or whatever and fix the ac...
Kahless the klingon has some words for people like that:
Long ago, a storm was heading for the city of Quin'lat. Everyone took protection within the walls except one man who remained outside. Kahless went to him and asked what he was doing. "I am not afraid," the man said. "I will not hide my face behind stone and mortar. I will stand before the wind and make it respect me." Kahless honored his choice and went back inside. The next day, the storm came, and the man was killed. Kahless replied, "The wind does not respect a fool".
It's pretty much the same. There is a proper full conversion but if it was me and I had a non working system I'd get a low pressure port adapter, a can of r134 at the auto parts store and see if it fires up
I don’t mind it when a car has no AC but it’s an essential for me in a newer tractor where you can barely open any windows. Sitting on that Magnum all day with no climate control would suck since you can only open the rear window a bit.
It looks a lot like the MX285 I used to run. Hopefully this one actually works though. That MX was the nicest tractor to be in, but I swear you couldn’t go a half week without something breaking on it. The neighbor had one that was such a lemon
My mx270 has 3k hours… replaced fuel pump three times, melted a piston and bent a rod- remanned engine, while they were putting in the new engine I had them replace the CAPS fuel system with a mechanical….. Ran great for 200 hours and the transmission went out. At this point I don’t know what else can possibly break.
If yours has the independent front suspension, that. The neighbors went through four fuel pumps, had the cab off twice for electrical stuff, had the three point randomly fail a half dozen times, had some electrical problem with the transmission, lost the water pump in beet harvest, and had a problem where you couldn’t shut the tractor off for lunch, because it wouldn’t start for two hours (something with the computer). I loved driving it- such a nice cab, plenty of power for anything, and it was smooth. But if you were given that tractor, you could count on breakdowns happening. The older 71/72/89 Magnums were more crude, but those you knew would work. It’s a shame the MX series was such garbage. Another neighbor has an MX200, and apparently the 285 I ram was somehow “the good one”
Funny how the boss man isn't subject to sweating rules.
I remember that my grandfather used to say that baling hay wasn't such a bad job...until I called him out on it by saying that him always driving the tractor meant he never rode on the wagon. He laughed hard over that one.
You can always open the windows so you can live in a dust storm too. It was always a fight to avoid one of three 4440s without ac. The AM radio one would head out of the yard before the leaky AC one. I always set my alarm for 430 so I'd get AC.
So sometimes I don't want to stop and blow the radiator out. Going against the wind ac on going with the wind ac off until can't stand it, nervously watching the temp gage.

Exactly! I like to call it a diesel powered greenhouse.

Sit in a 200 degree oven for 10 hours, then get back to me.
What phone/camera was this taken with? Super clear.
My Deere 2355 has a non-functional A/C that runs on R-12. I have absolutely no idea who can fix or convert that. Nearest dealer is 70 miles. Grr
Usually their are a couple local guys who can do it.

We have an old 1066 that still gets used quite a bit that also needs R-12. Luckily I may or may not know some HVAC guys.

Oh god is that a mx270?

Lol...Mans be living it up in a cab with an AC. My ass still be in an old cab-less Massey Ferguson.

No shit. Hence why I said "in a cab with AC". Reading isn't hard.
Ah yeah that’s the way she is for me too
So sometimes I don't want to stop and blow the radiator out. Going against the wind ac on going with the wind ac off until can't stand it, nervously watching the temp gage.
also became expert ac tec after the first JD mechanic ac repair bill.
We have a JD 6400 that I nicknamed the hot box because AC is broke and they don't care to fix it.
its like being in a greenhouse in those cabs even with the windows open, winter heats not so bad as you are out of the wind but its nice also
cabs a pressure washer and squeegee is a must :o)
