[QUOTE="thetool, post: 25770, member: 1534"] I so disagree with that statement that it almost makes me angry, but we're all great guys in here, even Bobcat_Ron, so I'll be nice.....=). Last year I installed several A/C kits in G and K series loaders that already had enclosed cabs and heat, and I can do it in about 4 hours on a large-frame loader with a power bob-tach. Your 773 is much easier. I charge 450 bucks for the installs and that includes coolant and dye and a 6 month warranty on labor and coolant against leak-out. I have as yet to be called on this. I have repaired quite a few factory and dealer installs. Whether or not it is cheaper to trade up depends on too many factors to list. Used parts are hard to find. It's mostly OEM stuff. Take-offs and part-outs are your best bet, but you are pretty much at the mercy of the dealer. Kits I procured for my clients ran about $1600 if I remember correctly. I have a client that had me disable all the A/C's in his machines, because he felt that his help was screwing off in the nice and cool cabs, rather than getting out and stroking it.....=). I told him I could sell his systems as used take-offs to more appreciative folks, but he wants to keep them for trade-in. I continue to drop hints....=). [/QUOTE]
