What is a cheap tractor, sure a guy gives one to you. Only 50 miles away, sounds good. Lets borrow a buddies pickup and trailer. Tank of gas 35.00, fix the spare incase of a flat 10.00, pops and munchies for the road for the two of you 10.00. All set to hit the road and realize you need a chain and boommer, chain 30.00 boommer 40.00. Now were set to go. Running late so you step on it and Mr Patrol office gets you for 10 mph over, 65.00 fine. Finally your there and are loading it up. Owner is pulling it onto the trailer when the chain breaks and goes thru the back window of the pickup. 150.00. Got it all loaded and and heading home when trailer runs over an old post and slices tire open, (good thing you fixed the spare, getting late so stop at cafe and have lunch 20.00. While eating lunch you and buddie talk about what it will take to get the tractor running. Just thinking about the good deal ya made. Coarse we haven't figured out what we spent so far today. Well on the way home everything goes fine and you pull up to the drive way as you see the look on your wife's face PRICELESS As you noticed I didn't figure up the expenses to go get the tractor because we wrote that off as having such a nice weekend. caseman-d PS> That way we still have a free tractor :):)
