[AT] Bridgeport Nebraska auction

[MasseyH at aol.com]

Jim I agree with you: I have to feel sorry for anyone who deals with kruse.  
I too received the ad. Don't you think it is VERY strange the "owner's name" 
is  not listed anywhere on the ad!?!?!?  For those going to the sale and have  
received the flyer - remember, the auction will be worse than the flyer and it 
 is extremely bad.  
 
Some other sites have also implicated mr. polk in the joke as well. Since I  
witnessed the fiasco in Yuma, I would not be surprised if they are in bed  
together on this one as well.   It is truly a sad day for  tractor collecting 
when the ethics of car collecting pukes its guts over the  tractor collecting 
world.

Jim,  before you get to feeling too sorry for the widow lady, here is the 
rest  of the  story.
