June Greeting
06/01/08 Filed in: President's Corner
I can hardly believe it, but our first tractor show for 2008 is upon us. It will be this coming Saturday at the Anderson County Tech Center (at the Anderson County High School). It is one day only. There is plenty of parking for trucks and trailers. Bring tractors, engines, cars or whatever you have. The show will probably get started about 10:00 AM. Come early enough to get unloaded and ready. The Tech School will have plenty of food for sale to raise money for their projects. This is to be a howdy, how are you, look at what I’ve got, fun session. You may come and go as you desire, just don’t run over someone. Let’s all go and have a good time.
The Board has sent a letter to Elaine and Board members of the Museum of Appalachia to see if they really want to break the long time relationship with our club. If we get an answer that says they want to end it, then I guess it’s over.
I failed to get someone to do a program next meeting, so I thought I would show an AC video. I reviewed one I have on engine rebuilding, but it is 76 minutes long and there are a lot of things the guys doing the film do not check or do. They did not check the sleeves or bearings for wear. All they did was put in new rings and did not check them for end gap clearance, therefore I decided not to go that route. I will look at some others I have and come up with something. It will probably be sales orientated, but it is still interesting to see how things were presented in the fifties.
That’s all for now, but remember to come to the show this Saturday, May 31st. Bring your equipment and remember and talk about the “good ole days”.
