    You should be fine. Only thing that will screw you is if you get negative temps for about a week with no snow. If if gets cold after snow, you should be fine. The snow acts like an insulator. I wouldnt loose sleep over it.

    Picking up hay in the middle of nowhere, Colorado I caught the edge of the scale. Good thing there’s a truck salvage yard on the way home?

    Both sides on my new to me FLD are busted. The salvage yard has only 7 of these trucks and only one had the right size but the mounting was different and only one side was there. So I may be forced to buy new. Only place I have found them

    That actually seems like a good deal for the whole assembly new? Heck just this one step used is $140.00.
    I’m here picking it up now.

    Yes it’s entire assembly. I didn’t think it was too bad either.

    If freezing water pipe is a concern on the extreme cold days open a tap to keep a small trickle flowing. In some old barns up here in Canada that’s what the farmers do .

    Heat works. I got to get a Tstat tomorrow when I go to town. But it fires up and shuts down like it’s supposed to. It had some serious rats nests inside of it. BE774E08-9A45-4FB3-9200-77C868C39193.png
    Rounded up this vice out of a junk pile today too. 6D448EA2-2AE7-4F27-9647-DAD7DE7A9ED8.jpeg
