Another crawl space heat question...Electricians?

My "Milkhouse" heater did the same exact thing.

Mine was an older Milkhouse heater. The wire/cord became brittle over the years and a couple of cracks developed on the plastic coating of wire that plugs into outlet.

I used it for years in same place. This fall it worked sometimes. Then stopped working. I thought that the heater was broken. When I looked at plug (behind desk) I viewed same as picture above.

I cut cord/wire and put new plug on heater and it works fine. But it is now in storage as I purchased a new one.
