Shawn, we can help you refill it. I need to pay it forward from when the guys on here helped me. Super easy, unless it's got a leak. (no offense to the certified HVAC guys) You can probably rent / borrow the gear if you need to, and the gas is still cheap on the Internet. If you go for a...
Someone signature on here was the truth, and I may get it a little wrong.
"The first part of any big project is staring at it like an idiot for half an hour" - Man, that fit me to a "t".
EDIT: Oops. I found it.

Nice R407C - me too. I just checked pricing, it's going up. I think people have figured out that it's a good replacement for R22 as well. I got mine for $160, I believe Will scored $140. But anyway you cut it, gas is the most expensive part. Check with some local guys to see if they have...
Check your data plate. R22 is the older gas, and getting expensive. There are conversions, but I'm only Internet smart on it. And yes they can recharge, but they should vacuum it, it will assure you that there isn't a leak. That much R22 will put a hole in your wallet if you had to do it...
Vacuum pump $50-120
Gauges $40-120
R407C (MAKE SURE ITS THAT REFRIGERANT, other stuff is more expensive.) - $160
Scale - $80-300
I did all of mine, with help, for the low marks above.
Or pay someone who has the skills - I bet they'd charge at least $500.
Yes, 3 sides 3/4, 14 feet. Sun is a concern, but that's what the spar urethane is for, and the truck is spoiled and gets to be inside. It is a lot of work, just the shortie ones up front took a bit, but it's a summer project along with painting the house, fixing equipment at the bakery and...
Have you tried the basics?
Enough fuel? - 10 gallons
Clean fuel - did you drain it? Does it have water in it?
Tried to prime it? - Use the bulb.
Fuel filter and inline clean? - usually this is after you get some life from it.
Does it get electricity to the panel? Do the glow plugs work...
Thanks. I choose white oak, the previous ones were mahogany (just REALLY old and cracked). You can't and shouldn't get the lumber at a big box store (it's not dimensional lumber, and they charge too much). I choose a smaller lumber place, and can get the oak for 2.75 a board foot (not...
Since it was an even cut, a crimp connector was all that was needed. It is waterproof, but I am going to wrap it anyway. Will NOT be fording with that one..

Got the VIN inspected, and fixed a forklift love tap (and they jacked up my brake line too....). They cut a wire leaving half my LED dead. Spliced it back together, and done.
Looked sharp. Mine was a very recent rebuild MKT99, and I scored an extra griddle from a member. They are still out there, most out east. All green (or in my case, tan) iron needs accessories.
Lindsey, I thinking that too. They don't really leak, just when I ran it a bunch last weekend. I have some new ones I pulled off a frame from Glen's that I'll swap before committing to the new seals.
Yeah, I was lucky to get the ducts with mine. I can use the AC with my Base-X tent (it has the duct inputs in the tent), use it to cool my garage, and also we have an MKT, which gets pretty hot when cooking. So even though not efficient under an open tent, it's like having AC in a convertible...
I'm sure you meant diesel. And Will recommends 10 gallons, as 5 is barely enough to get it going. And make sure it's drained all the way first. I put in 5 gallons, then drained as I hadn't and really wish I would have as instructed. When I did, it came out clean, but it might have had water...
Found two things that need attention. Not a dripping leak, but I think when it articulated it threw some oil around. Both rear axels. Time to read up..
I found the auction, Everything looks pretty good, nothing that I can see missing, barring the oil filter. 1500 hrs is nice and low too. Your AC is a bit different than mine, and you've got some undercoating or a recent paint job under the trailer. From the picts it looks nice. Those 60A 208...
