During the eighth meeting of the Rusty bolts, we did the following work on the tractor. We removed the front end; took off the engine and mounted it to an engine stand; detached the fenders and disposed the front loader mounts. We also took a club picture for our booth that will be at the Mercer County 4-H fair.
