I'm sorry to report that the IB is now on it's way to meltdown recycle. Yesterday, I told the salvage yard owner I would be back today to get it but he did not tell the men working on loading the scrap so when I arrived this AM, it was already gone and not retreavable. Another case of hesitation costing me a bundle. Sorry to vent but I am extremely frusterated that this did not work out. To add to the misery, it was only 25 miles from my home. Stan

That's understandable, I think if that happened to anyone else we would have to vent too.

The sad part of it all is it is 100% true. I'm still wanting to kick myself. I'm not an impulse person and I didn't have the money in my pocket when I first saw it. Oh well, I still have 9 tractors to play with and a 3 yearold grandson who loves rusty metal as much as I do. Two months until the next show. Life is still good. Stan
