Yes we did Coolidge, the old Ford stayed together with zero issues the entire trip, I sure do wish we had AC though, there were a few times when it was 95 degrees outside and we were sitting in stopped traffic, the 7.3 litre diesel under the hood sure does send some extra heat into the cab!

Yep, have the AC out on one of the articulated tractors now, that 3208 Cat makes a lot of heat under a load. Front windows open in such a way that they act as a scoop to catch the hot air the fan is blowing back, rear window opens bottom out to catch all the hot air created by 25 gallons of hot hydraulic fluid in the rear end. No AC sucks. Previous owner (idiot) has never changed the receiver/dryer would be my guess as have plenty of charge, but the line from the dryer back gets cold and by time it reaches the evaporator its warming back up. Just bought this one a year or two ago for a spare and it’s worked kinda OK, not near as good as the rest I’ve serviced/rebuilt that will about give you the chills when cranked on high.

Again another road trip, this time to beautiful northern NH, just outside of Littleton we stopped by an old friend and customer in Lyman, NH, I'll try to post a few pics

Great! That one worked! Notice the 2 fifty plate heat exchangers, one feeding the house boiler about 150 feet away with a 20 foot rise and the second feeding the elevated shop, if they will post have a look at these 2 beauties housed inside that shop

Great! That one posted but these next two, this will be my third try? That last one was his 3 year old boiler, notice the two fifty plate heat exchangers on the right, one is feeding his house about 150 feet away and 20 feet above and the other feeds the elevated shop. This is what I found housed in the shop
