JD 6900 Air conditioning hose/pipe

[Sebastian77]

Hello, hope this is right place to ask..

Need a replacement hose for the air conditioning on my 6900, it blew out few weeks ago and stripped it down to find out where.. it's the really long (would be haha) rubber hose with a steel pipe crimped on either end that goes from the exchanger in cab to engine. I think it's part number AL111816

Can anyone recommend a place to get one? Aside from the obvious JD dealership...

Thank you!

Have a look on Kramp, etc. Flexable pipe . Ferrules, crimp on ends etc, are all available. Cant see why they cant be crimped with a hydraulic pipe crimper.

Do you use the dealer for servicing your AC systems? An independent AC mechanic may be able to help.

Dealer has never been near this tractor (aside from when it was delivered new!), We'd normally get the bits from local sharmans but last few "small" parts we've had were massively overcharged upon doing a quick google afterwards...

If it’s the one I think it is that comes off the thermal expansion valve to the cleaner/dryer, it doesn’t look as if it’s available just says contact dealer.

Took a picture, it's about 2.2m in length. Had to chop the end that goes into the exchanger off, the hex bolt holding it in had corroded solid

FYI dealer price is £137 ish - you'll get 10-15% off that with a stock order.

I would very very strongly suggest you replace the drier before it either rots out or the desiccant breaks up.

Is that the small black cylinder under the Cab? If so then yes I will, was advised to change the one on our 7530 when it was serviced recently, to be honest never knew about it until then!

Someone gave me a crimper a few weeks ago, didn’t realise they where that much money !. wouldn't think I’ll ever use it tho, handy to have just in case I suppose.

Dealer price was £127.13, none in UK tho so would come from Germany, need tractor for mowing so it'll have to wait till next rainy period. They wanted £68 for the drier filter, can get a sparex one for £37 so that'll do too!

Personally I’d just pay the dealer price on the receive/drier, I got some sparex bits for my 7710. They all went back as none of em fitted properly, you might get on better with em !.
