For years we have had a daily radio program called "Party-Line" You can call in items for sale.
One morning MANY years ago, a gentleman advertised a MF 135 Diesel for sale. I called and he stated it had been broken for about two years and he was saving his money to by another tractor he had found. I drove the short distance and discovered the man was in his 70s and in poor health.
We got in my truck and drove to a field where the tractor had been setting for about two years, partially covered.
After fighting off the wasps he told me that the transmission was locked up.
I asked him if I could do a little checking, which he agreed, so I did my checks.
I told him that I could fix the tractor for him and he stated that another man had told him it would cost too much.
With further discussion and a little prep, we boosted the tractor off. I had already unlocked the gears so I got on the tractor and it operated.
He was very disappointed because he had agreeded to sell me the MF for $1500!!
I was not raised to take advantage of people so I refused to buy or to accept any money. He demanded that I take $40.00 or I would have to "whip his a**"
I took the $40.00 and the blessing of knowing I did the right thing.
And yes, I showed him how to unlock the gears when it happened again.
