4H Project

The '43 john deere B Project's really picking up steam now.

We're well past demolition mode, and into rebuild mode. I thought it might be helpful to others in the future to make some videos of various tasks as we complete them, and post them on youtube. Not much out there other than people starting their tractors. I'll post here as we put them up.

On another note - I have had a few people here offer donations of money to the project, I always turn them down.

I'm very appreciative of the offers, but it's not in my nature to ask for help. A pride thing I guess.

But I have recently taken some generous donations of parts, and after talking with those individuals it taught me something new - that perhaps my turning donations down is actually a selfish act.

There are others out there that truly enjoy helping and would like to be involved in a project like this in some way. Giving isn't always the burden I assume it is. And this really is a special project.

So - it's still with mixed feelings I post this link (if you couldn't tell by my over-explaining it) - but I will anyways. The kids came up with this idea to help raise money. If you'd like to make a small donation you can here (securely).

Maybe share the link with others you may know.

I figure I'd rather raise the money with many $1.00 donations instead of a few large ones. So every little bit helps.

Thanks
Donations

Anyone can send you money thru Paypal, they would need your email for the Paypal account and send it as a GIFT. No fees will be taken out that way.

Thanks Mark.

The funny thing is I actually write software to take these kinds of payments and could with one of our websites, but figured it'd be a conflict of interest if my company was profiting from any donation transactions.

Plus, this site gives us a simple way to explain the whole story of what we're doing, and it's easy to share on facebook, etc. - it's easy to use.

The fees aren't so bad, a cost of the convenience.

Jon, would you mind telling us how many kids are involved and the age range? How are you comming on the baler? I am sure I still have that needle someplace. Wish I could help more but circomstances do not allow it. Leroy
