Happy New Year!

Our winter repairs are in high gear (no pun intended) right now.  My equipment technician is Dave Ertl, he has been with the club for 14 years.  This is our John Deere tractor and Dave is working on an antifreeze leak.  He has dismantled over 1/2 of the engine just to get at the leak.

The club purchased this John Deere tractor 2 years ago, it was a three year returned lease unit from Boyne.
