Couldn't let it pass me by.. literally
 

Every year I pack up my "rusty gold" and headed on down to the Cowtown swap meet to share my wealth with others. Long ago I realized that if I left my own spot I'd inevitably leave with more "gold" and less "green" than I came with.

Every year all my friend stop by and tell me about this or that only one row over and how they though of me immediately. This year was no different, three or four friends stop and tell me about a cub sitting just up the other row, I refrained from leaving my spot knowing how bad my cub fever is.

So I sat there, discussing the meaning of "rusty gold" with my fellow "collectors" till the end of the day. Crowds died and decided to start packing it up and call it a day, when a glimpse of yella catches my eye.

Of course the guy selling the cub had to drag his trailer down my isle to leave. My mouth dried up as I started to sweat as it drew closer, I'd had It!
Jumped in front of his truck and stopped him, stuck me head in the window and struck a deal.

Behold!
Surprisingly well running 126 with working creeper and rear lift

The highlight of that tractor isn't the crepper or the lift, its that's awesome looking seat.:biggrin2: seriously that's a nice looking tractor, congrats.

Cool find, well I guess it found you. Not a lot of those around. Congrats!

Unbeknownst to you, all of those "friends" went over to that guy and told him when leaving to be sure to drive real slow down your aisle.
:biggrin2:

I do have a sneakin suspicion that's what happened :biggrin2:

Very nice, congrats

Great condition...they knew it had your name written all over it! That's what friends are for!
