I'm in Wisconsin, so it's obvious that summer overheating isn't an issue. But the needed heat in the winter is a must. I converted my t-boss from the weak sachs to a 14HP vanguard. When I did, I mounted a super quiet muffler (From Route 6x6) on the original supports and cut the manifold flanges off and bolted them to the engine. I used 1 1/8 flex pipe to join it all. Being it don't flex that well, I used around 18 inches for each port. That's about 36 inches of heat duct (so-to-say) for my cab. I also took 3inch aluminum flex (cloths drier) duct and (Comes in 8 foot lengths) expanded enough to wrap around rhe muffler a few times and sort of flattened it. Routed one end under drivers seat, and the other to a fan box I made out of an old army ammo box and a heater blower motor. Cut a second hole in the fan box so air would be forced through the hull. (To move the heat from those 18inch flexpipes) Then ran my heater intake (with more 3in flex hose) to an exhisting hole in the back. One cool thing is that I really don't have to take in "FRESH OUTSIDE AIR". I don'have a cab cover (YET!) and my setup kept my legs warm last year during deer hunting. This summers project is to make the cab cover now that I know that the heater works. Sorry it's so long winded, but had to get the details in. ...............Jeff
