Had an old fridge from the 80's in my garage that is heated with a wood stove, so sometimes in the winter there may not be any heat in it for 3,4,5 days at a time. It belonged to a buddy and when he got divorced I gave it back to him when he got his own place summer of 2012. It worked good until it got really cold out and then the meat in the freezer would start to thaw from the fridge not running enough. After giving it back to him we decided to get a new fridge in the house and I moved the house fridge into the garage. Mfg. date on "new" garage fridge was 2003. It lasted 10 months and quit. Luckily I had ice cube trays in it and went to get ice to fill water jub before work and found no ice all water so I was able to save some the meat that had not thawed yet. Went to appliance store where we bought new fridge (locally owned and sells applicances only not a big box store) and talked to owner. Told him the story and told him I was looking to buy a brand new fridge for garage this time. He actually recommended I DO NOT buy a new fridge from him but instead find a used one 15 yrs old or older for in an unheated garage. He said he could sell me a new one and sell me the cold weather kit for the back of it, but that it would most likely not last more than 2-3 years because the new fridges have a gas that is not freon and when temperatures drop outside of fridge the gas actually gets sluggish and freezes very quickly and causes compressor to die. He said best bet was any fridge over 15 yrs old would have freon. One month later wife was at estate auction and they were selling fridge with mfg date of 1987. She bought it for $100.00 and so far so good, although we have had plant killing cold and 3-4 inches of snow we have not had enough to have it get below 45 in garage so the jusry is still out, but I am keeping my fingers crossed because it is a top fridge/bottom freezer so now I don't even have to bend over to get a cold one!!!

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
