Don't get your feathers ruffled OCR
no gloves and about 1 hours. Jack was not working right so I was pumping it like crazy so she could get the jack stand in. It was like rowing upstream. I got a chest cold so bad it hurt to breathe out in the cold so I did one side then came in for 10 minutes for warm air..With the cabin fever thread started I was thinking how many guys have large work shops that's heated where they spend winter days thinking about new toys. For myself its a pole barn thats colder then standing out side and at times laying on a sheet of tin working on something.
Kind of like a large electric heating pad to lay on. I live in North Dakota I will buy one from you. Say some electric heating coils fixed to the sheet of tin a little insulation over them to make it soft then cover it with Kevlar and I would like a 100' cord. Let me know when you get it done. Every time I plug block heaters in for over night I lay in bed with one eye open watching for a yellow glow It has been twenty years ago I had a R model Mack and I went out to start it and it wouldn't start . Gave you a idea of a dead battery. I tilted the hood and hear the red squirrels had chewed every bit of insulation off the whole wire system. Starter to head lites everything was gone except copper wire and even some of that was clipped,I suppose they were after the road salt that was absorbed in the cloth insulation.Airedale great idea, but what if I get a short in my tin heating pad !
But, I bet they enjoyed their salty treat. I know people who eat those rascals now I know why. How long does it take to rewire a R model Mack? I love those old Mack trucks. I understand about the yellow glow it make me nervous to plub in my tractor whenits in the barn.
