Cold?

[sneerboy]

It's minus twenty eight freaking degrees here.

Surprised the hh90 motor still turns.

Got your pm,thanks.

So, now we get to see how cold it has to get to stop a motor from turning.
I hear it hit -50 here last winter.

I can hardly wait.

Yes, cold as heck here in WI too my friends.

I’m ready for spring. Would much rather mow the lawn than shovel snow.

Yeah...aren't they the Kolder make? :innocent::lol::lol:

Kohler Engines, made in Brillon, WI., my sister works for that company.

Cut back on “snow blower” production when it looked to be a dry winter.
They now stepped up production, everyone is working overtime.

I was thinking Wisconsin Engines, but Kohler are good too.
Onan, oh, that's a good motor...different state tho.

None start well at this temp.

A few other “engines” built in WI.

In 1895, Pennington joined Thomas Kane and Company in Racine to build the "Kane-Pennington Hot Air Engine."

Thomas B. Jeffery began the Rambler line of automobiles in Kenosha, WI.
In1902 he produced 1,500 new Ramblers, Anticipating Henry Ford, Jeffery sought to provide quality automobiles for the average American family. The Jeffery family sold the business in 1916 to Charles W. Nash who quickly made the Kenosha plant the largest producer of automobiles outside Detroit.
Nash negotiated a contract with the U.S. Army that made the Nash Motor Company one of the largest producers of trucks in the nation.

In 1918 General Motors (which had been founded in 1908) decided to branch out into farm vehicles by buying the Samson Tractor Co. in Janesville. After enlarging the factory, the first GM tractor rolled off the line on May 1, 1919, and within 12 months production had picked up to nearly 150 tractors a day. Chevrolet cars began to be produced in 1923 and the plant expanded steadily.
This plant continued to run until last year when it was closed.

And this time of year I would hate to leave out Ski Doo.
Snow mobiles have always been built in WI.

For 31 inventive years Eliason and Eliason/Four Wheel Drive (FWD) snowmobiles were the lone lifeline of snowmobiling. Modern snowmobiles are directly traceable to the original hand built 1924 Carl Eliason machine.

Gee, that's too bad, schneery old boy; it actually felt hot when I stepped outside today, mid-seventies, and blue skies.

Love SoCal, lol.

We normally never get too cold down here in my neck of the woods, but it's down to the 50's all week, I know that may not sound cold to most, but our average temp is 76f for the year....We are currently having the longest cold spell in 15+ years, and yes, I have the heat on :p
