Amazon for the capacitor. Supply houses have got where they won't sell to a guy unless he is an AC tech
Just walk in a supply house and throw out some apartment complex name tell them you work maintenance and your normal account hasnt been paid by corporate office so you need to make a cash purchase from them. 60% of the time it works every time

clean the coil and go from there if contactor is bad the unit wouldnt run at all if capacitor is bad it may or may not run but if it does it usually runs slow or will hum as it tries to pick up speed i still think its a dirty coil throwing pressure switch on a hot day 10-4 thank you. Will see if I can find the stuff to clean coils ASAP!

Was the breaker hot when it shut down? Is 240 passing thru the breaker when it quits?

I had to replace a run capacitor and a fan motor on me and my brothers central air unit a week ago. besides cleaning your condenser coil on the unit outside,,, go to your air handling closet and take the panel off that hides you evaporator coil … they can be filthy too. I've seen evaporator coils dirtier than outside condenser coils. a shop vac can handle this chore Would this panel be above the drip pan most likely? Our unit is so old I'm not sure what a lot of it is, honestly. Thanks for the suggestions. Inspecting the outside unit this morning it's a lot dirtier than I believed and I will clean it up as best I can to see if that helps. Thanks so much, everyone!

It should be above that point or even with it ,,, you'll see about four phillips screws holding the panel it place and behind it you'll find the coil, you my have a filter in front of the coils.. Depending on the type of air handling unit you have it may look like this unit,, https://www.trane.com/residential/en/products/air-handlers/tmm-series/Or this type maybe https://www.handymanhowto.com/clean-inside-ac-evaporator-coils/
