Hi all, first post so don't crucify me.

This is my third time trying to post this.

I bought 2 4-ton Acadia Hallowell hp for the bargain price of $200 cdn ... roughly about $30 US ;-) If nothing else I can probably use some of the parts to build something or get me money back in scrap ... 500 lb/each

They had lots of problems but hopefully I can get one running as soon as apply some fixes. There is a website that explains some of the changes.

I would like to switch it from R410 to R290 just because it's easier for me to mess with and I think the lower pressures using propane will help with the starting issues.

My question is does all the oil have to be changed ... lines + both the compressors? I'm assuming it does but just hoping for clarification.

thanks,

Dave Menheere
