Does anyone know if it would work to hook up 2 chest freezers to 1 Johnson control unit??? Any help would be appreciated.
Yep, +1. And if you had a cheap digital weather thermometer (with wired remote sensor), you could at least verify the 2nd one was in the desired temp range even though it was not controlled with its own temp sensor.
You might want to make sure the current load of 2 fridges doesn't exceed the output on the Johnson though. It's designed to power 1 fridge, not 2.
Instead of using one Johnson to control two fridges, why not buy 2 STC-1000 controllers from Ebay and mount one of them into each fridge? They work great and can be installed right into the fridge without much* hassle. The only thing is they work on Celsius so you might have to print out a conversion chart if you are an American. Then again, it's a great way to learn metric temperature!
