A Great Day With CCAMA

Part of the Work Party / Test and Tune Saturday April 13

CCAMA members with tools, red dust on the backs and arms of their shirt, the smell of axle grease and the loud roar of the air compressor made the Work Party scene yesterday. I saw Leroy in his tool box looking and sorting for tools, Kevin Peiksma put on the training wheels of the sled with the help of John Kirkland Jr. and Paul Moen filled up the tanks of the sled with water. I posted the photos and video I took on Facebook.CCAMA Facebook Page

Watch Video below of Kevin Peiksma and John Kirkland Jr. putting on the training wheels of the tractor sled. 




Everyone had a different task and duty. I had the pleasure of talking with Sheridan and Kip Hansen about Internet, the world, and emails, and children. We laughed and laughed. I must have slapped my knee 10 times. It was the first time I heard Kip laugh. Both father and son have delightful laughs.

CCAMA provided lunch for us all.

After lunch I interview Rosie Kirkland for our series Women on Tractors. I enjoyed speaking with her and got to learn a bit more about her.

Thank you for visiting CCAMA,

WORK PARTY 2015

An annual work meeting was held at Red and June Salisbury's place. That is Red over there on the right. 

 I hear there was Pizza for lunch and adjustments were made for the tractor sled .

FYI for those of you who are new to all this, like I am, you may want to know what a tractor sled does so I got that information for you and me below.

 The sled is known as a weight transfer sled. This means that as it is pulled down the track, the weight is transferred (linked with gears to the sled’s wheels) from over the rear axles and towards the front of the sled. In front of the rear wheels, there is a "pan". This is essentially a metal plate and as the weight moves over this the resistance builds. The further the tractor pulls the sled, the more difficult it gets.

Here is a slide show I put together. Thank you to my husband Paul Moen for a quick report and photographs.
