hello all,
So this is going to be a weird question, I am working on building a custom five man cab on an old foremost under carriage, all hydrostat drive. I am at a point where i must build some sort of a heater/defroster. I have a few different heaters out of other projects but nothing seems to fit quite the way i think it should. I am hoping to get some real world input from you guys about heaters and defrosters. I know i need some way to defrost the windshield, but how much? can i get away with a heater mounted somewhere in the middle of the cab with a couple fans mounted to blow on the window or do i have to have vents pointed right at the window that blow hot air directly from the heater core? I know the latter would probably be best. Thats why i am looking for input, to get somewhat of an idea what i absolutely NEED as compared to what will be sufficient and easier to fit into my space. Any input at all on what you guys have in your cabs or maybe even what you wish you had would be helpful.
