Compressor battery

Post by dr deuce »

My 44 kompressor has a battery bracket mounted to the firewall over the heater inlets (if it had a heater).

I don't really see a place for it on the frame. The only part I am missing is the seat/box behind the cab and I don't think it was in there.

Hi Steve,

The battery does indeed go in the box behind the cab. Didn't I send you some photos of the locker? I know I ment to,my apologies if I didn't :oops:

PM me your postal address and I'll get some on their way,I'm putting together some compressor info for some other guys on the site so I'll send you that as well.

Is your compressor engine the D318 or D471?
