Read articles →An owner-operator's real-time account of diagnosing and repairing a refrigerant leak on a Yanmar YT347 cab tractor. He traces the cause to a chafed A/C hose, attempts a brass-nipple splice (which fails within minutes), then identifies the correct compression-style inline splicer that holds. A bonus fuel line leak is also spotted. Best for YT347 or YT359 owners troubleshooting cab A/C issues themselves.
Posted by the Complete Deer TV channel, which appears to be an owner-operator sharing unscripted, hands-on repairs from their own property.
A black A/C hose, about 7/16 or 3/8 inch, was rubbing against another part and wore through over roughly five years, causing the refrigerant leak.
He tried a brass nipple with two hose clamps and taped it, but it started pulling apart and the splice only lasted about five minutes under pressure.
A compression-style air conditioning inline splicer kit, instead of a basic hose splicer, held up after running the tractor for a few hours.
