I found a hell of a lot at ranger station website, including the complete manual for all York types, and how to install the York as air compressor in several different methods! It was extremely helpful, I installed a new aluminium York 210 to my Land Rover perentie over the course of the last year and yesterdY finally had it mostly going except for 2x safety relief valves blowing at way lower than its rating, so today will upgrade that if I can find a new one somewhere and see what happens

Nice video. Don’t forget you will need to add oil to the bottom end of the compressor for the bearings and crank. It doesn’t use much but does need to be added. There is one place I found a while back that makes an oil port and dipstick for the York OBA.

very good thx, ??? what cfm and pressure are you getting? I want to add one on my Jeep and f250 for air and train horns and hate to hear the electric turn on....

thank you! i just build a 210 in my '79 surburban. i will block of that hole. what oil do they need and where can i see the oil level??

Where did u get your serpentine clutch at, I’m in need of one. Today I finally got my hands on a York K941814 at my local auto wreckers and I had already converted to Saden ac compressors to air compressors but they just didn’t fit right on my 04’ Silverado. My friend told me that I needed to get a York. Thank you for the info on converting these types of compressors. Very Helpful I just need the clutch and the gaskets if u can help me out on a budget. Thank You & God Bless

Awesome video thank you, how does the cylinder walls get lubricant since the delivery port is plugged

@@garyabbott4366 you are welcome. The cylinders get lubricated by oil splash from underneath.

Doesn’t the compressor need to be lubricated by something? I always thought the refrigerant also lubricates the pistons. Without some kind of lubrication, I cannot imagine the compressor living very long. I could be wrong though.

Air compressor on a car! Found the ends of the Internet? That's cool! No, the world is not flat. Good for you! Some people have no imagination.

When I go to the salvage yard to get a compressor: 1. What vehicles would have these compressors? 2. What would be the best place to source repair parts and gaskets from?

I have been buying them brand new off of Amazon. The V-belt style is the cheapest. For junkyards you can find them on jeep grand wagoners ‘70-‘80. Ford trucks from the ‘70s Older Volvo uncertainties of the years A lot of commercial trucks such as road tractors Those are just some of them. On the subject of repairing them I have to be honest. I have never repaired one. You can find parts for them on Amazon or I am sure there are suppliers online you can find. Unfortunately I do not know of one off the top of my head

Ranger station has an article of every single US vehicle fitted with one, also a lot of non US vehicles from the early 80s back had them, and proper trucks

​@creatingstuffwithjim Thank you, Jim! I'm thinking that it's about time for me to get busy on the hunt!

Man you helped me a lot with this video, I have a york 210 like this for a long time dumped on my workshop, I wanted to make an air compressor with it but when I saw how much oil he spreads out I gave up, now I know the solution thanks to you, but let me ask you one question. If you seal that little hole, won't the the compressor stops lubricating his parts inside or heating too much?

The answer to your question is no. The piston and rings will get lubricated by splashing oil from underneath.
