Amazingly we managed to get our project tractor reassembled and to the County fair; along with our large donation can!



Within the week leading up to the Mercer County 4-H fair, the list of things were accomplished to get the tractor there in one piece.

July 23rd- Put on back tires; sand-blasted the engine; put back the pistons and their liners; made a ( rather large & heavy ) donation can; put in new main bearings; put on exhaust manifold.

July 25th- Remounted the engine and reattached the front axle.

July 27th- Engine head was placed back atop the engine; inserted the push rods; put the rocker arm back in place; valve cover was put on.
