i see there's some hunters out there that might know? if you put a chest freezer outside, and then the tempurate goes down to freezing would it just stop running (thermostat?)? or would the cold get to the motor oil first, and burn it up ?

and... i wanna recreate my hydroboost lines outta Russell products? anybody local or would jeg's let me play around with all the pieces (opening packages possibly) to get it routed like i want? Lou have all those pieces down there?? TIA :)

yes, it will stop running when the inside temp hits its goal, my pop machine hardly ever run in the winter...

also with hydrobbost lines make sure you have something that will hold hte pressure. i ran into this using regular steel braided lines and fittings. but i did not know till after the fact. i have been using crimp fittings for high pressure lines

yea, i was thinking the Powerflex stuff cuz its DOT approved for power steering applications? but i will heed your warning well. thanks.

still don't know where they'll let me play with the merchandise :P

the freezer is just for deer meat and maybe some pot pies.. lol, didn't even think about pop machines and the like. it should be okay then?....
