dont think its funny. I used to do this (with a old wheel n sand with gas n
kero.mix) to warm up trucks to get them started. Black smoke was not a

For the tracter it sits out side most of the time i have it covered with a
tarp
be for i use it i plug it in for 15-20 min. to warm n give them a little
charge.
Any one have a snow blower for sale? CHEEP
