Attention! Tractor Club Update!!!

[whfan74 2,071]

 

It is finally time to find a new owner for this masterpiece! 

We have a few little adjustments to do, but she is pretty much ready for a new owner to add it to their collection!!! I am SO proud of all of the kids that have had a hand in bringing this machine back to a beautiful tractor!

The tractor is not perfect, but a beautiful functioning machine that many students labored over for many, many hours. It does have a few scratches, but they tell a story of hand on experience from elementary students.

If you would like a chance to own this beauty, you must follow these simple little steps.
1. Grab a piece of paper, put down your full name, your address, and a phone number. Also, write down what your bid is. In other words, what you will pay if you have the highest dollar amount.
2. Place your bid in an envelope and mail it to:
Harrison Elementary
Attn: Scott Mehlberg
1300 Husky Trail
Warsaw, IN. 46582
3. All mailed entries must be received no later than October 2nd. Entries can be submitted to me in person no later than 12 pm October 3rd.
4. At that time, club members will open all bid envelopes and reveal who the new owner will be of this awesome project.

The tractor, and as many club members as possible, will be on hand for my 6th annual tractor show. This is where the winner will be revealed.
The reserve price is set at $500, so any bids below that will not be accepted. All checks should be made out to Harrison Elementary. All of the money raised will go back directly to the kids and their future projects and tool needs.

This is a very unique machine that was so generously donated by Mr. David Rice of Crawfordsville, IN. Without him stepping forward and taking a chance on all of us, I doubt we would be where we are today. In the near future I will make mention of the many amazing folks that played a part in helping us to reach our final goal.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. I will be accepting sealed bids as of now. The winner does not need to be present to win the machine. If there happens to be a tie, we will have both top bidders resubmit a new bid.

I will be available this Saturday at the Mentone, IN tractor show and swap meet.

Here are the kids the first night of tractor club 2 years ago!

Thanks Richard!
It sure has been a roller coaster of highs and lows the past 2 years working on this project.  I am so happy for the kids, they never gave up and rolled with it.  Hoping that our next projects will be just as rewarding as this first one. 
Thank you to so many folks that helped us reach our goal and those that still support us!  It means more to these kids than you will ever know!

Scott, you and the kids turned that C-120 into a real fine first class Wheel Horse! You are a good man to help put them on the right road of life

Had some cool coverage from a local online newspaper found here:

We are also on the front page of the local newspaper tonight. 

So very proud of all of the kids that took a chance on me and this club.  They have worked so hard!
