    Heat source for BX cab

    I am considering installing a soft cab on my BX 24. However, the fact that the radiator fan pulls the air AWAY from the operator's feet (and toward the engine) would seem to defeat the intent. I was wondering if anyone offers a fan that reverses the air flow to PUSH it through the radiator...
