Several decades ago, I went to a farm auction 100 miles north of me, on the west side of the Twin Cities.
That was a very dairy area, 40 milk cows and 160 acres, farm after farm back in the day. Driving there was a big swath carved out, and instead of a dairy farm there was dozens of town homes, can't remember if duplexes or quads.

What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?").
