Re: Water in cab

OK, it rained pretty hard (we seem to be getting a lot of that) and water still came in. I pulled the cowl and noticed how the screws were mounted and sealing them shouldn't be an issue (except the one over the air intake) Looking down into the fresh air intake side, I found mud and dirt had accumulated right up to the top of the fresh air intake dam. So I flushed it out (mopped up the water inside) and put it back together. Ran the hose for a few and water still came in.

So I threw my hands in the air, figuring I need to pull the plate over the intake and seal around the intake dam real good. (sounded like the easiest fix) But two days later it rained the hardest I've seen in a long time and no water came in. I'm thinking with the hose I sprayed water over the intake dam.

I still need to see if I have to seal around the dam, but it's a new direction and a pretty firm target I hope.

Again, thanks for the help.
