At a recent meeting of the Huron
County Farm and Home Safety
Association the Directors decided
tosponsor a Power Take Off Clinic.
This Clinic will be held in
conjunction with the farm machin
ery dealers in Huron County and
will be held on one day - April 1
only. On this day farmers may take
their power take off shafts to their
dealer to have them inspected and
repaired. The dealers are waiving
the cost of labour to replace broken
or worn parts on that day. The
farmer will be charged for replace
ment parts only.
The safety-related components
for power take off shafts pertain to
such items as nylon bearings,
tumbling shields, guards and other
items which might save alimb,
arms or life. This should prove to be
one of the most worthwhile
projects ever launched by the
Huron County Farm and Home
Safety Association. Further details
