Northern Lebanon FFA Tractor Restoration 2024-2025

This year Northern Lebanon FFA restored a 1985
garden tractor for the 2025 Pennsylvania Farm
Show.
While the overall condition of the tractor wasn't terrible, we knew we had our work cut out for us. We spent time disassembling the tractor, cleaning it and prepping it for paint. We replaced the seat and all 4 tires. While the engine in the mower ran, it did not run well. We replaced the fuel pump and carburetor, head gasket, and rear end seals. Making sure all of the gaskets and seals were aligned so they would not leak, and making sure that bolts were tight to torque spec. As a team we learned about the many parts of a cub, how they work in conjunction with one another, as well as the record keeping side of things. Making sure that we had enough money or sponsors to help us cover the cost of the project, keeping record of what we accomplished on a specific date and more. Thank you the many people who have supported us, whether sponsoring us or mentoring us.
Team members,
Owen Bomgardner, Cale Shuey, Aiden Flamm and Haylee Mullen
