A real interesting scenario....At least 5-6 years ago a much publicised auction of Ferguson tractors and implements came up for sale in England. It was widely broadcast that everything was in excellent original condition and belonged to an old batchelor man who looked after everything real well. Prices set that day hit new highs even for Ferguson implements which were already far too highly priced, but there was no thought of recession back then!!!!!! Well a guy bought the Massey 35 at a high price, I don't recall the figure but it was probably about £2000 above what it should have fetched....Our 35s had a toolbox on the steering radius bar with a hinged lid and provision for a padlock, and there was a tiny little padlock on it, but no key......You can guess the next bit...The guy got it home cut off the lock and found something like £20,000 stashed away....He did the honest thing and returned it to the executors, but they said he bought the tractor as it was and let him keep the money!!! He should have bought a lottery ticket on the way home also!!!! Sam
