With the 4440 with 47 hours selling today for $58,000 and the folks on here who have said they did not belive the story behind it I was wander'n about something. We have all heard the stories about some one finding a new tractor that got forgot'n bout for 50 years in a barn some where. How many of us have seen or know of stories like this for real? Where some one buys a tractor and then dies or what ever? Here is the story behind the closest thing I know of a story like this.
My brother worked for a guy while he was in high school. Guy he worked for rented a farm from an older guy who also raised a few cows. The older guy was a coal miner who retired about the time the mines were coming under his paid for 200 acres. He wanted cows so he sowed down about 25 acres for pasture to raise a few cows on. Needed something to mow it with so he went and bought a new 2955 and a 15' mower. Hooked the mower up at the dealer drove it home and it has not been unhooked since. About 3 years ago my brother was asked to back it out of the shed so they could put back a tobacco wagon up in the tractor's spot for the night. It was showing around 120 hours and still had paper on the floor of the cab. For the last 20 years the man had used to mow his pasture one time a year and that was it.
I thought it was a neat story. Whats the wildest story yall know of like this?

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”.
