They are 1985 models with only 200 hours on them. Your in the army now boy. LOL!! Of course Komatsu's doing the push both new and an older tractor.

My buddy with liver cancer died yesterday

No more suffering he can Rest In Peace now


Sent from Hoskey hilltop

sorry to here this news.. but I,m sure it will eventually bring an end to all the stresses that relate to these issues.


I will be attending My friend of 25+ yrs wake at the end of the month. Boy it feels odd when I walked past his place as I used to do, and pop in for coffee.
It sucks that I can’t anymore. Well I,m gonna have one last coffee and say my goodbyes at the wake..
:(

It was over 30 years old. It was ready for retirement.
Those were the more gooder ones.
Just blow the dust out of the evaporator coil fins and reset the Klixon overload lile Jason toltya to, and then you'll have DOS freezers for when the new fangledy one chits itself.
Most of the time, the fins just get full of dust bunnies. That makes them not exange heat, and the system pressure builds up til it overloads the compressor and the Klixon takes it out.

@Mastermind and others…

For you up and coming appliance salvage guru’s, when it comes to putting new life into a fridge or freezer that *s-wordt the bed on ya, here’s your best buddy…a relay overload start capacitor, as well as on top of replacing the klixon overloads. And I’d write down this mfg and part number, some are gonna need it one day, trust me. If not, Lowes or HD will always have your $1-3K new, replacement appliance waiting for you.

Now what’s pictured in the bag is the old *s-wordt (cover, couple of wires with spade terminals, and overload) that came out of my side-by-side fridge/freezer out in the shop.

Or in my beer fridges case runs the fan so long that the fan bearings go out.

9 times outta 10 the klixon overloads are simply broken into pieces…heat is the biggest killer of anything appliance-wise. That’s its’ purpose, to protect the compressor.
