I didn't have the luxury of working where it was warm yesterday. It was about 12 degrees with a wind chill below zero. The cows were starting to congregate more and more in the corral across the road. I hoped it was because I had put a new salt block out,but no,all the balls were down in the waterer and no water was running in.
I ran back across the road,got a pail of hot water and a big screwdriver,opened it up and started pouring hot water on the valve. A whole pail of water and nothing was happening. I ran back over and got more,told the wife to grab some buckets and keep it coming.
Five pails of hot water and still nothing. I ran back and got a pair of pliers and a crescent wrench to take the valve off. When I pulled the cotter pin out of the float,it started running.
The darned thing is overfilling a little now and coming up around the balls so it's freezing them up. At least the valve isn't froze today,but I've already had to kick the balls loose twice today. Gotta love winter in Michigan.
