On the seventh meeting we worked on our booth for the Mercer County 4-H fair and made a fundraising thermometer.  We also worked on a fundraising letter to send out to local farmers and businesses for support and donations for our club.

During the sixth meeting we removed the center rim of tire; detached the exhaust manifold and removed the engine head.

The following is a list of things accomplished at the fifth Rusty Bolts tractor meeting.
We  removed the back tires;  drained the anti-freeze from the engine; removed the radiator; drained and removed the gas tank;  checked the engine compression;  detached the spark plugs;  freed the engine and last but not least removed the valve cover.

On the rather cloudy and rainy fourth meeting, we power washed the tractor and finalized the club bylaws. We also had a discussion with ideas for fundraising options.

During the third meeting of Rusty Bolts, the tractor was moved to the bay and the front loader, which wasn't original to the tractor, was removed. Bylaws were worked on for the registration of the club.

At the Rusty Bolts second meeting, we cleaned out the tractor bay where the tractor would be staying for the remainder of the restoration.  We also located the serial, year and  model numbers on the tractor. Future goals and record books were discussed as well.
