Kubota keys

[Industrial Toys]

Remember one morning in the 80s, working as an electronic draftsman, just me and another guy in the office. One of those guys that knows the way of the world more than most. Showed me how you could get into almost any desk in the office with our your own desk key just by raking it back and forth as you put slight turning pressure.

I like watching the YT videos of "the lock picking lawyer" Amazing how insecure most locks and cheap safes are.

I am retired now...but I wished I had taken locksmithing when much younger. I could have made it into upper management in my organization with those skills. Oh well...

The lord givith and the the lord takith awayith.

Got door open with backhoe (and broke a couple of boards) just as new owner, to take posession day after tomorrow shows up. Tell him what my intentions are and he says no way, tractor is in purchase agreement. Good thing he showed up as that would have been a very awkward situation!

My take on it. New owner insisted he had no interest in tractor, just old junk, and no interest in paying for it! But was keenly interested in getting it for nothing and aware of value. Seller thought, guy isn't interested in tractor, so here, take it.

If you were instructed by the previous owner to take it my question would be did he show you the purchase agreement?

My key story....In 1968 when I was 15 I bought a '53 Chevy and soon after, lost the keys.

I went to the local Chevy dealer and after telling some guy there my story, he gave me a 3 pound coffee can that was half full of old car keys.

I tried about half of them before I found one that would start the engine and another for the doors and trunk.

I took the can back the next day and the guy that gave it to me was really glad to see me....he got chewed out for giving a kid the can of keys and said he probably would have been fired if I didn't bring it back.

So a few keys for millions of locks has been going on for a long time.

That reminds me of a time way back when I was young for some reason.
My mother and Grandmother took my brother and I shopping at the local shopping center. As we left to go home we all got into our car to go home all seemed normal the car started fine and as my mom shifted into reverse some lady came running up asking what we were doing with her car. After a brief and confusing confrontation it turned out the strange lady was right our Chevy bel air was parked a few spots down and with the exception of the paperwork in he glovebox, the contents of the trunk and a different plate number the cars were exact matches right down to the key to open the doors, trunk and ignition.

The real estate purchase agreement?
There obviously was no tractor purchase agreement.

Typically, personal property is not included in the sale of a home unless it is specifically mentioned in the real estate agreement.

If you buy a house you don’t automatically get everything parked in the garage or barn.

Last house I sold had "six healthy chickens" among other things not permanently fixed to the ground listed in the agreement so I call BS on that, especially for something as valuable as a tractor.

Exactly. After the closing date it can get sporty.

Exactly what I am saying is the new or soon to be new owner should have and be able to produce a purchase agreement that included the tractor. If he was not willing to or could not do so the tractor is not his.

Key words here are “to take possession day after tomorrow”

Exactly. After the closing date it can get sporty.

Our place had "all the contents of the property at the closing date" listed. There was a couple of square balers, a couple of hay wagons, hay rakes, etc.
Had someone (entertainingly, the guy who owned the shop next door to the house we were moving out of) show up the day after the property transferred and claim that the seller had traded the hay equipment for getting the septic tank pumped but he "hadn't picked them up because it was too wet"
He was unhappy about being told that the equipment was staying put, the septic guy was also unhappy about it (which we found out about a few years later when we unwittingly called him to pump out the tank), but we knew nothing about it the deal and the seller had in fact told us that the hay equipment was staying as was some of the other equipment that they had removed from the barn.

Life goes on.
