Hello Screamin’ Eagle People,
Here it is the first of March and the beginning of the third month of our 30th anniversary year. Less than two weeks away from our annual meeting on March 15th. We still have 3 weeks of winter left. You have to keep up with the weather forecasts closely this winter so you know if you are going to have a 70 degree day or a day when it is going to be 10 degrees below zero. Quite a lot of places are very dry, however good chances of rain are forecasted for early March.
So let’s discuss the tractor of the month. Third month so the 300 tractor. Started as a new look tractor with a round hood and grill with closed side engine panels and eventually evolved into the look of the hundred and thirty series square hooded tractors with lights in the hood crown. Built from 1956 to 1959 in utility, general purpose and high clearance models. Case 4 cylinder 148 cubic inch spark ignition engine developing 32.32 horsepower. Continental diesel engine with 157 cubic inches developed 30.8 horsepower. Transmission options were 4/1 or 12/3.
Remember our annual banquet meeting on Sunday March 15 at Holy Spirit Catholic Hall in Centralia. Doors open at 3PM. Meeting at 4PM. Catered meal at 5PM. By this time you should be adjusted to daylight saving time.
Thank you Alois Hoffmann President
