He's wrong about lasting one year, tho'. My BA6 lasted 15 years before the bearing in the blower went south (... maybe I should follow). I suppose I'd better go pull the blower motor and find a bearing replacement soon. Winter's just around the corner. :( Bob Hufford Transporter Search & Rescue bhufford@mail.orion.org
