This was back twenty years ago when the two cylinder craze was in high gear. My friend wanted a JD "G". They had gone from 5-6 hundred dollars to 2-3 thousand in just a few years. You have to remember that this was before the Internet. He placed an ad in a major farm publication looking for one. He got a reply from West Virginia saying they had a fresh painted one for $900. They conversed for a about a month by mail. HE finally send them a cashiers check for the $900 plus an additional $400 dollars they agreed to deliver the tractor to him for. About this time I became aware of the "deal". He was over bragging about how he had found a JD "G" for half what I was asking for a good one I had.
He got his tractor a few days later. If I had not been good friends with the mail carrier he would have been able to hide his "good" deal. What he got in the MAIL was a JD "G" toy tractor that was freshly painted with a spray can over the mud and grim.
HE even drove to West Virginia to look for HIS tractor. He had been writing to a post office box in a really small town. The local Post Master laughed at him. He tried to get the Post office involved. They told him he was out of luck as he had received what he had been sold: A JD "G" with fresh paint. Neither one of the two had ever stated that it was for a full size tractor. A local lawyer there told him he was out of luck trying to sue.
He has the honor of having the highest priced toy JD "G" tractor I know of.

Today's Featured Article - When Push Comes to Shove - by Dave Patterson. When I was a “kid” (still am to a deree) about two I guess, my parents couldn’t find me one day. They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
