Ok, this is kind of off topic but since Leathermang brought it up...... has anyone actually ever had a pump hurt by washing it when it's hot? The pump on my tractor gets water splashed on it all the time and still works fine, granted it probably doesn't get as hot as one on a car but it does get warm and it's certainly not unusual for it to be splashed with water when I'm feeding cows in the winter.
