My boy loves this stuff and we are fortunate to have an Ag Engineer/former College instructor who farms locally and loves to teach kids. Many of the local farmers and ranchers bring in those projects that they haven't got to for the boys (11-18) to tear apart and fix.

Looks good Per. I hope you realize that you are spoiling those young mechanics with the heated shop though. :D

Part of the cariculum (sp?) should be laying in the snow and trying to wrench with heavy mitts on. :wink:

:D Must not be all that "heated" as they still have the stocking caps and big coats on.

Course, I guess that could just be underwear for you folks above the far north boarder. :p

That's really cool. Down here 4H as well as FFA members can refurbish old tractors to show at the fairs, and larger shows like Houston and San Antone. But as of right now.....I don't think there's actually a person in charge in our county to teach the 4H kids. It's more or less a "do it yourself" thing.
