Old: Recipe on how to thaw a transmission housing in cold weather.
1- Steel hog feed pan (the rubbers ones smell funny when you use them)
1/2-bag of charcoal briquettes (Full bag if your in a hurry)
1- Old heavy canvas tarp (New plastic ones melt too easy)
Squirt of charcoal lighter fluid (pint of gas if in a hurry. This requires a longer lighting device)
Lighter and or box of matches (propane torch if the wind is blowing)
Put the charcoal in the feed pan. Apply liquid lighting fluid of choice. Light charcoal/fluid. (IF gas was used, light and roll around until your sleeve burns out). Push pan under the tractor transmission. Cover top of the tractor with the tarp. Weight the edges to hold tarp down.
PS. Watch to make sure the oil drain plug is not over the feed pan. Had to repaint the tractor rear half when I did that, after I put the flames out. IF you are quick the paint will stick while the castings are still hot from the fire.
