    tent buildings

    We don't have to pay taxes on them up here, I have 3 of them, one for a tractor, one for the boat as a winter cover and one to store equipment. I clean the snow off them after every snow fall. Had one partly collapse once when I didn't clean it off and we got rain.

    Frozen Hydralics

    Hadn't thought of the wd40, the hydraulics work off the transmission oil, so could be some water in it. No real way of checking in this temp.

    Frozen Hydralics

    Has anyone else had this happen?? The hydraulic control for the loader froze up, I thawed it out with the heat gun and got it working. The temp in the garage is just below freezing, I have plugged in the flow through block heater and hope it warms the garage up. It is snowing and +09F here today.
