Hi Charlie
Thats a sad story alright but I bet most of us have a few of them. 
Personally I missed out on a really nice Cockshutt 50 diesel a few years 
ago. It belonged to a neighbour that I had worked for many years and I 
knew the tractor well. Always shedded and generally pretty good 
condition it was one of the later yellow hoods with full fenders. I 
could have had it but at the time did not want to take it home as there 
was no more room in the sheds for another tractor. So I waited having 
plans to eventually build a bigger shed.
Much to my surprise I found out sometime later from the neighbour that 
the tractor was sold. Some guy came along, made an offer and that was 
it. Gone... Reminds me of the old saying, "He who hesitates is lost".
