Today was fun.
6am- My Ford halfton drove and started ok (the highpoint of my day)
6:30am- My IH semi starts barely sounded like drums for about 2 minutes
- My Ford F650 plugged in refused to turn over
8:00am- Bayer crop science I found out all the trailior hydralics were frozen and unresponsive limit control valve kicked in
11:00am- I got the tilt working on the trailior but the axles still refused to move, Custom courier came picked off my load and delivered it.
12:30pm- back at the shop axles finally operated
2:30pm- after having a battery charger, 350000 BTU heater, booster cables the Ford F650 finally started
So the Ford F650 is now parked in the shop
I got the sliding axles retracted in the semi hopefully wont be frozen as bad in the long line. The 30 foot hydralic cylinder underneath my trailior has always been a pain in the cold
Tommorrow is going to be another fun day I have to go start a 125 foot boom te refused to start today and haul it home
Ahhhh, paid by the hour

Time to lease a building and get these units inside over the nights, at least while it`s this cold........
Take along a tiger torch when you go to start that 125 foot boom, maybe it`ll catch on fire when your warming up the oil pan........
