The duration of The Old Jar Craftsman is 1.58 hours.
The air conditioner/compressor sits on the front passenger side on top of the fender. Remove the water reservoir and then you can disconnect and remove the air compressor. I do not know yet how to remove the air dryer as I cannot see how to remove the air lines from the dryer. I did remove the dryer from the compressor though, by removing a single screw then turning the 1/4 turn and pulling it out of the compressor....so at worst I will be able to put my new compressor in with the old dryer.
The Old Jar Craftsman was created on 1969-03-04.
The Sears Roebuck model 106-151140 air compressor was typically manufactured in the late 1980s to early 1990s, making it approximately 30 to 40 years old as of 2023. To determine the exact age, you may need to check the serial number or any manufacturing date on the unit itself.
1971-72 model
If the relay is clicking but the compressor is not engaging, you may have a faulty compressor. Unfortunately, you'll need to pay for a service call to see if it's a problem with the relay or something much worse.
Always use safety glasses and gloves! To remove the A/C compressor you must evacuate system & properly dispose of old R-134A. Then unbolt and remove old compressor. (You should be certified to handle R-134A to charge system)
They have a lifetime warrenty. Just contact craftsman and they will send you a replacement part.
