Electric Fan A Cheap Way To Cool Cabs
Dan Capiuk of Barrhead, Alberta, was tired of the never-ending battle of keeping his tractor cab air conditioning working up to snuff.
  "I decided there had to be an easier way because it seemed like I was always having to recharge my air conditioner since the freon often leaked out over winter. It was too expensive," he says.
  Capiuk found a very simple, yet effective solution. He gave up on his air conditioner and simply installed a $20 electric fan in the cab instead. By bolting a section of metal strap across the right front corner of the cab, he created an ideal place to mount the fan for optimum air circulation. He then hooked the fan onto a live wire off the key switch.
  He runs his regular cab fan in addition to the auxiliary electric fan he installed, and says he can work in comfort and not worry about any expensive maintenance.
