I'll tell ya what tears me up. Last spring I was at a sale, and they were bidding on a pretty good painted up F-12, when one of them Cadillac SUVs pulled up in the road. A guy and his wife, probably mid thirtys, and a couple of kids got out and walked up. Left the Caddy in the middle of the road. The clothes they had on would have bought a good tractor. Walks up to the ring and starts raising his hand on every bid. Bought the old F-12 for $1600. After the sale I was talking to the auctioneer, and the yuppy walks up and ask the auctioneer "where are the keys?" Told him you don't need any keys. Then he comes back and wants to know where the starter is. Auctioneer got the origional owner to start it for him. Should have seen the look on his face when the old owner starts to crank the F-12. While the origional owner is explaining how some things work on the tractor, yuppies wife tells the auctioner "all he needs to do is get it home, we're going to put it in my flower bed out in the yard". Last I seen of the guy, he was trying to hire someone with a trailor to haul it home for him. yuck ken
