Jerry,"Its not just you"Getting dark so early in the winter seems to snatch the motivation!Cliff
I've also attached a couple of photos of the beast out of the cave. Another one of my "BusNut" lounge in the polebarn. The refrigerator in the background stocked with domestic and imported beer (guess which country!).
Glad to see you have it back together. Squirrel cage is much quieter and moves more air than propeller style fan. The electric version Uses more energy and complexity than direct drive style. Could have the best of both worlds. Belt drive Squirrel cage. Ok I guess I have to try that one. What are you going to use the batteries for. "BTW: Are there batteries w/ higher than 1000 cranking amps @ 32-deg??? Anyone know of a link?"?Lots of options depending on use.Bill
