7/16/2022 Work Session

Present for work on July 16 were Jim Armstrong (welcome back Jim), Paul Van Steengerghe, Ron Jenkins. From the DESR crew, Earl Shaak, Robert Moore and Charlie Freeman.

Our biggest accomplishment, which was not on the list, but in the planning stage for several weeks, was the installation of a crossing in front of the engine bay. This will allow us to use the tractor to replace the draft gear in the tender. It will also help with snow removal next winter, plus help move equipment around the yard by making the area by the fence more accessible.

Other accomplishments include compressing the draft gear in preparation for reinstallation and cleaning up the yoke and coupler shank for reinstallation. The left water outlet flange holes were laid out and drilled, too.

Thanks to all who participated!
