So, that red hose you fed down in there from the top, are you blowing it out with air or water? Also, is that the sound of a shop vac sucking from the bottom hole?

Ya the red line is a air line and that is a shop vac. It's just sucking out everything that comes out of it. I have seen people us water to wash it out too.

Just done this on a 95-2. I drilled both holes as in video. I then soaked evaporator with coil clean on both sides, rinsed with water and used a flexible big truck air filter blow nozzle to blow everything back through the evaporator backwards from operating air flow by inserting blow nozzle in the square air outlet that's between the evaporator and heater core while clearing the drain tube with a long zip tie in between each step. I repeated this 5 times then let stand a few hours. this seemed to work very well being air flow was back to normal when everything was back together. thanks for this valuable information.

Vacuum in the bottom hole and hp air in the top. Problem when I did ours it was running before I started to it was wet so the vacuum didn't help super well. I have heard of guys putting the bottom hole lower and just using water to clean it out too. Water apparently drains right down to the belly pan and out. Either way will save you spending 6 to 8 hrs pulling the whole thing out.

What size hole did you drill? My 95 is doing the exact same thing and I’ve been thinking all along that the engineers didn’t make the a/c system strong enough. So, I googled it and found a video of the system being clogged. As the guy took apart the entire system, I called the local dealership and they want $630 to do it. Then I find your video of just blowing it out. Thank you!

You don't have to cut it... if you have a powerful enough air compressor block all the vents and pressurized one of the air vents. I pressurized the one facing the door. Just reverse the flow essentially. This will blow everything up out of the evaporator behind the seat area (on top). You can use a Shop-Vac back there while you're blowing it out.

The Kubota skid steer engineers must only test in a perfectly clean laboratory environment. Being able to service your filters for the cabin for heating and air conditioning should be an easy to service item. I am sure you'll really appreciate the climate controlled cab when your Eastonmade 48C arrives.

A few other ways to do it 1 spend 6 to 8hrs pulling the whole system out to get to it or 2 is to duct tape up all vents and use a leaf blower to blow back through it which doesn't get all the gunk and grim off it if it's wet. And it will be something you will have to do again as well. Your machine do what you want.
@Alan_Hans__

JB welding a fitting on there that you could either screw a plug in or attach a vent hose to 1 end and a leaf blower to the other would possibly be a good thing. Possibly give it a squirt with water first and then use a leaf blower or even a compressor to dry things out afterwards. My old BMW stopped pumping air out of the AC entirely. After googling I found out that there's a bit that's known as the "sword" due to the shape. The afterthought HEPA filter is before the sword and when it blocks up the sword overheats and the heater and aircon stops. The HEPA filter literally mounts behind the heater module against the firewall. Absolutely awesome to access that through the footwell. You can't see the nuts that release the filter and you have to work from photos and by feel. The same to access the sword after you remove the filter. Engineers totally shit me sometimes and many of them deserve a kick in the nuts.
