Ever found money in your tractor?

[Deere Dude]

I think you hid it and forgot about it. Be careful, sounds like dementia.

My money is you did something for someone and told them no charge, they put that in there so you didn’t have the chance to say no.

I found $400 in an outlet once, but no money on the tractor. If only that $400 was enough to cover everything I’ve broken.

Ya know, I haven't looked. :scratchchin:

With the amount of money that I've poured into it, there would have to be, eh?

Never found much money in a vehicle, but I did find the answer to a mystery.

Bought a cream puff late model Mercedes convertible from a Honda dealer, it had been traded in on a Honda Fit.

For at least six months I was wondering what on God's green earth could possess someone to make a trade like that. Candidate for a padded cell or something?

Dropped a pen one day, it rolled WAY back under the driver's seat and I retrieved it, along with a quarter and a business card from a local massage parlor. The card had a handwritten note on it "Thanks for a great time! Bambi."

Mystery solved - the guy was fooling around with "Bambi" and his wife caught him. "You will sell that **** convertible and buy something with negative sex appeal or you will be wearing your testicles for a necklace!!!"

He did, I got the Mercedes for a really right price.

Thank you Bambi, where ever you may be ;-)

You don't by chance still have that card do you? JK :laughing:

Never in a tractor, coins in old cars...but the strangest thing was money in the house.
My in laws bought their home new in 1932 and adopted my wife 20 years later, their son died at 2yo.
Wife's Dad(rip) was a great guy and they were very close. He was forever tossing pocket change at her started when she was a little kid.
After her parents passed we would find coins scattered around the house. I rationalized it must have been behind furniture, etc. Then we cleaned house to sell it. Every room stripped, yet we would find coins! All hardwood floors, so no carpet or rugs.
The last thing I never could understand I went over the day before it sold checking every room. I was alone and swept all the floors. As I was leaving in the middle of the dining room there was about $2 stacked pennies, nickels and dimes.
That was impossible for me to explain.
After the house sold it happened here . We've been here 40 years. Never bills, just coins, usually about 30 cents.
In 1932 though 30 cents wasn't "small change"

Card? What card? I know nossing! I was never on the Russian front, I wasn't here, this conversation never took place, and I don't even speak English, so I honestly have no idea what this discussion is even about.

However . . . if you happen to visit somewhere just east of Orlando some day, I have heard a so far unsubstantiated rumor that my evil twin clone might, just might, know something about some alleged business card. I would, however, wait until Covid is done because I begin to suspect that this "Bambi" just might be in a "personal service" business of some sort and as such, cannot maintain social distancing and is now desperately trying to collect Florida's extravagant (and illusory) whole $275 a week in unemployment compensation. Good luck, Bambi, where ever you may be ;-)

I bought my tractor used and after having it for 4 years I had to remove the 'floorboards' to access the HST linkage. I found a Snap-On ratchet handle stuck in the linkage. No idea where it came from or how long it had been there.
