It was nice and hot here yesterday, so my 83 yo neighbor decided it would be a good day to get some of his mowing done. So, he gets his old Farmall Cub out of the shed and proceeds to mow till about 3:15 pm and runs out of fuel.
He goes to the shed and to get his 5 gal gas can and finds it empty. It was about 95 degrees out so he decides to go in the house and take a nap before undertaking getting fuel and going back out to get the tractor.
He woke up at about 8:30 pm and decided to eat dinner go back to bed, and put off getting fuel and the tractor till morning.
This AM, I get a call at the shop, could I please come home and help Cecil get his tractor back to the shed, no problem Cecil, I will be there in about 20 minutes.
Well, I get there and what do I see? Cecil's pride and joy Cub, laying flat on the ground with NO rear wheels and tires!
Some low life in the night has stolen his wheels and tires, just dumped it on the ground like it was a piece of garbage they were throwing out !
Un FRIGGING Believable !
I can't believe someone would do this to such a nice guy like Cecil. He is heartbroken, he has owned that Cub since new and its all he had left from his farm when he had to move down here due to his wifes health.
Pretty sad days we are living in.
Sorry for the long rant, but this is disturbing.
If any of you know where a reasonably priced set of usable rear tires are, let me know, I put an add in the classifieds.
I want to try and get his tractor back up on all fours for him as soon as I can find some that I can afford.
Looks like I will have some extra mowing to do till I can get him going again.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
