Phantom Trail Riders Meeting Minutes 11/06/18

OLD BUSINESS
 
 - Land owner agreement acquisitions have been assigned to members
      Tom has 2 agreements, need continued efforts by Don, John and Mark
      Kyle Anderson would like help with 45S.  Ike, Don, and John have agreements to work on.
           Ike mailed out 3 requests on Jan 6th.  Have received one signed agreement so far.
 - John will update officer e-mails on AWSC roster so appropriate information is getting to correct people.  A phone call to the AWSC will be required since they cannot be updated on the website.
 - Drag Maintenance - John will contact Dan Byers to Set Work Evening to address issues
      New pin / bushing is needed on tongue. 
        Drill larger hole to make round again & size to fit a hardened bolt or bushing. 
     Need to inspect rear wheel lift.  It appears to be low and should be increased.
        We looked at the rear lift. Determined that a 2” longer cylinder should be used and the upper bracket raised. The lower pivot points (3 plc) need to be drilled larger by the same method as on the front. 
 -  Tractor Service
       May need to change hydraulic oil as sight glass appeared a little milky
       Need to check engine oil and see if it should be changed
 - Need new rear tires for tractor - this will likely be postponed until account balances come up.
 - Ike will start processing Commercial Memberships.  No new maps printed this year so new memberships will be AWSC only.
