[AT] in cab refrigerators?

[Al Jones]

John a couple years ago my dad had a guy come in with one of those portable band sawmills and saw up some logs for him.  This fellow is the working-est man I have ever seen, he literally will not stop until he is done for the day!  When the saw's running good, he can eat his lunch between cuts, sharpen sawblades,  or even take a quick "breather" and so he just goes and goes.  Anyway the last day he was there, he wanted to finish so he could pack up and go home (he lives probably 30 miles from us) and not come back the next day to pick up his equipment.  It was well into the night before he got done.  Well this mill was run by a two cylinder Kohler engine, with no, I mean NO exhaust pipes, muffler, header, or anything...just bare openings coming out of the cylinder head!  It belched blue flame like it was a rocket engine!  THe hurricane took down several pines for us that need to be sawed so I will be interested to see if he has put exhaust pipes back on his mill....
