I run a 4-H antique tractor restoration club in Ontario Canada. This the third year for us. We have 12 members in our club and we restore a tractor each year. The first year was a Ferguson TEA 20 which we still have have and use as a mascot for fairs and fundraisers. The second ,was a Farmall H which we raffled off and donated $4,000.00 to a local hospital. This year tractor is a W-4 not finished yet but close.We go over safety on tractors and tools and shop behaviour. It is a total hands on club,I supervise and give short lessons during the meetings.We have some great outside support from companies for supplies and some parts.We have had guest speakers come in and help out from electrical shops, paint shops, tire shops.This project is taking some extra time for the large restore. The 4-H should have some books on tractor maintence and safety they can give you.I know the 4-H is strong in different parts of the country. Our area increased 30 members last year. My own daughter is in 4-H thats why I started the club to help give back a little.We try to work in groups of 3-4 and they diagnois the part,clean it estimate parts and repair and then install back on the tractor(if all goes well) and do a report on what they did in the club for they year end acheivement .It can hartd sometimes when you have them all looking for something to do at once.We always give out a certificate and asmall keepsake from the club. Tis year our senior members decided that they wanted to give out some awards,so I left it up to them. The awards were biggest tool(top member)award,broken wrench award (who broke the most stuff), and gearhead award (most improved member).the members voted for award. WE made trophies from the old engine parts Piston with rod upside down with a large wrendh on top,one with a broken wrench on top and one with a gear on top.I will try to post some picture when I can find them If yopu need some help I can try and lend a hand.
