Well I didn't find it, and it wasn't in the toolbox, but one of the local tractor swapper/restores went to an estate auction years ago of a very eccentric man that had money....some of it not found after he died....in particular was his coin collection,that could not be found.This individual bought a farmall H or M for parts that was stored in the garage and hadn't run in years ...loads it up on his trailer,gets it home and lets it sit for a wile before starting to take it apart.when he went to remove the gas tank he could not lift it off the tractor....guess who found the coin collection????If you ask him today if he found it , he will deny it , but shortly after these events supposidly took place , his standard of living increased with no other apparent source of income increase , and his Kids started going to better colleges.....Hell I don't blame him for not 'fess'n up ...that is when everyone is your friend, and they all want to borrow money.Oh and since the auction was an "as is where is" he would not have been legaly obligated to inform the Estate of the deceased man, just the tax man when he sells said coins....I don't know if it is true but it still keeps me going to auctions and checking gas caps....
