In MO it is called prescriptive easement. About every few years I get told the county has a 40 foot easement, after reading up on it I found their is no real width requirement, and it is what it is, a right for the public to use until it is abandoned. I suppose they could condemn it, but that would go against their claim they have no money to even maintain the road, and there are a lot of roads in this county with much less than 40 feet to deal with. I planned on moving my fence to help make it wider until a commissioner told me he could just take it without my permission (keep in mind this has been under fence for probably 100 years). I decided I would hang onto it a while longer, and they can buy it (it is on my deed after all with no exceptions, or easements on it). Only 2-3 vehicles travel the road (including me and mail carrier), so i see no issue with it like it is. During hunting season there is more traffic by road hunters, and poachers, but I am somewhat less than concerned for providing for their safe travels :-) Sooner or later I will hear about it again I am sure, but I called his bluff for now.

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
