i figured you meant that. But its real hard to warm up a little engine driving around in freezing temperatures. Esp . if your only burnin 1gph. Half goes out the exhaust, 1/4 goes to the wheels, 1/4 goes thur the heater to heat the cab. and that leaves nothing to keep the transmission and rad warm.

i have used JD HyGuard in my trans now for a year. (hydraulic oil)

i got a pair of kitchen drawer guides, going to make my variable blocker a sliding door.
You're saying that forced convection heating and/or cooling does not work on inanimate objects. That would be an incorrect statement.
