Not deep enough . depending on area and just how deep the frost goes down in your area you want to be no less then a foot lower , myself two to three feet deeper . around here they say four feet is good , but i have seen years where the frost has gone 6 feet deep , seen city water lines that the ditch was four feet deep but top of a 10 inch pipe a cast iron pipe no less was 38 inches deep and Froze on a dead end street over night when not water was being used . And the end results were broken cast iron 10 inch water line and the joys of water line replacement in 15 below weather .

Water lines that run up under drives will freeze faster due to them being cleared of snow and not deep enough . If ya have old fashioned metal water lines and a D C gas driven welder you can hook it upto the lines and heat them up to thaw the pipe out , don't work on plastic.

To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books).
