I got to thinking about how many people may have bought a tractor(s) overtime and never used it for some reason or another. I can
think of a couple of circumstances where this happened in my neighborhood. I had an old neighbor that died of nasty colon cancer a
few years ago. The last fall he farmed row crops he traded in a nice FWA Case 3294 for a newer bigger hp Versatile FWA tractor.
Sad story is he purchased the tractor in late winter and he died weeks after it was delivered only to never see it used on his
farm in the field. The tractor was used in his funeral procession though. I thought that was an awesome tribute to a life long
farmer. I had another neighbor that was a hoarder real bad. he bought 2 Case tractors and never ever used them. 1 was a 400 (401)
diesel and the other was a 600 (611b) rowcrop, which I bought later. These 2 older Case tractors sat for years under roof
thankfully, but the guy never farmed. I know he just liked to have things, just to say he owned them. Any of you know of the same
type of thing happen to them or someone you know? Just wondering how much good old iron is out there like these. Kow Farmer Kurt
