HINT:
Kids at tractor shows are a big culprit.
If you take equipment to s show it's important that you keep an eye on it and DO NOT leave the keys in it/them!

I was sitting on my lawn chair behind my display on the back row and they never came by me.
I had 6 Cubs on display.

Kids will climb on them and jerk and pull on any handle, lever or wheel they can find. I have observed this first hand. 2 or 3 kids, that are big enough to supposedly know better, will start on one end of a row of tractors and go right down the line and hop on every one.

My neighbor a few years ago had a Lo-Boy parked outside by an out building and one day he found it w/the wheels turned one way to the stop and the side & bottom of the steering box busted out. only one way that could have happened.

First thing that crossed my mind yesterday when I read the first post.
