Richard, Make up a good burn fan at a cost of probably 250.oo or buy a new one for about 600.00 +. If you have a pretty good access to a part of the pile where you could throw in small limbs and enough cord wood to start a good sized fire get her burning. I start my fires with a propane torch with the flame at about 1/2 full open valve. Usually doesn`t take more than 20 min to get her going. Sit the fan in a position to push the flames into the burn pile and get set to adjust the pile as needed to keep her going. Now is the best time to burn with the wet weather when the fire cant get away from you. I am burning two piles right now. I am using an 8N with a Wagner Loader with loaded tires, rear wheel weights and tire chains. She does a great job packing the piles about 20 feet in dia. to keep them burning. The cage, propeller, engine and frame should be fairly easy to find and put together. I built my fan about 8 yrs ago and it still works great. Just be careful that you dont roll your pile over on it like a lot of guys do. LOL

Jon called me to help him discover why his tractor wouldn't start
