    Hi, I've got a 81 DL240 which I replaced the AC compressor on since
    it had locked up. When I replaced it, I put in the old clutches and
    like a flash of lighting hitting an idiot, the old clutches were why
    the old one had locked up. duh. I found a complete compressor on ebay
    for a reasonable price so I ordered it, and I don't think that it was
    for an 81. The 81 compressor is sort of square box shape, everything
    else looks like any other compressor I've ever seen, round... Anyway,
    I was curious if the clutches are interchangeable. I don't see a way
    to mount the newer compressor, but if the clutches are interchangeable
    I'll go that route.

    Any reccommendation are greatly apprecited.

    Mike

    The clutches are not interchangeable between compressor types.
