Thought I might remind others that our "SCAMMERS" are alive & trying hard to get us. Advertised some dining room furniture in the local "Free AD" paper. Have received several Emails from the UK & France who are interested in buying. It goes this way. They saw the Ad and are interested in buying---Send me your best price & condition--.If you reply they will offer you at least $100 more than advertised price to keep other buyers away, plus another $100 for "time & trouble". Then comes the "Good Part". In my case the furniture was advertised for $200. He wants to send me $3400 in USPS Money Order by way of his "Agent" who will deliver the Money Order. I then send him the $3000 difference by Western Union MO so his Agent has funds for shipping & Insurance. And then I get stuck with a counterfiet Money Order. Ive read about this SCAM before with Tractor people using the Classifieds, but never had occasion to have it pulled on me. So when I advertised an Electric Stove for sale, I received 3 different "Offers". This is my Email reply and wifey sez I should just ignore them, but I had to let these low-life jerks know we are not so dumb here in the USA. Here is how I wrote it. "Dear COLLINS: Your SCAM is older than my Great Great Grandmother. May your testicles be infested with 1,000,000 fleas and you will soon scratch yourself to death. If this does not happen, try sitting in a skillet of hot burning oil to relieve your pain. As a last resort, Call 911. Have a most pleasant day & God speed your recovery."

Imagine a crude hole made in the hood to accommodate a new taller air cleaner, the fender wells cut away to make way for larger tires, and half of a sliding glass door used to replace the windshield. Top that off with an old set of '36 Ford headlight shells bolted to the hood. Pretty unlikely for a car... but for a tractor, this is pretty normal. It seems that more often than not they a
