Thanks to everyone for all their replies. I did get the line thawed by using a heat lamp which I sat right next to the water line. It heated the concrete up enough within 3 hours to do the job. I built an office/bathroomn in a pole barn/machine shed several years ago. I wasn't there the day my hired men poured the floor and ran the water line. I could have skinned those guys when I saw they had just stuck that copper tubing through the concrete and poured around it. I said "How the heck are we going to keep that from freezing"? "Oh well we didn't think of that"! THe water line comes into the floor on the north side of the barn and is probably only 1 foot from the outside wall. We had had a blizzard last week and it blew all the snow away from the building on the north side, so the ground was bare. I had the heat lamp running and thought maybe I should shovel snow back up against the building and cover the ground on the north side of the barn where the water line enters. I don't know if that had anything to do with it, but within 30 minutes of shoveling, the line thawed out. I usually keep the water dripping in the office, but forgot it that night. Dang beer anyway.

Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
