Fundamentals and Safety Class Highlights

For the last 3 weeks we have been busy solving many of the world's mysteries. Here are a few examples:

What do all of these buttons do?


How do I set the wheels and steering stops on the front of a tractor? 


What is a lock collar?


What size is this bolt?


How tight is tight enough?


Is this how an elevator works?


How does a grain tank come off?



Can you have fun without an engine?


The following all fall under the same category.

Fall Classes Begin

We are off to a running start with 39 new students this year. After the first few days they are tired of hearing me talk and ready to get on with Fundamentals and Safety class. We have two older combines to tear apart this year six new tractors to play with. We have played with fire extinguishers, talked about tools and shop safety. Service ADVISOR is becoming our new friend. The best is yet to come (micrometers, acronyms, and fasteners) and I can't wait! Here are some pictures.
