[AT] you've got to be kidding me!

Amen to that!

The IH dealer dad worked for kept a 154 (cross between a Cub Cadet and a Cub 
tractor) going for a nearby cemetery. This think should have been melted 
down about 10 years before I last saw it. Some weeks it came in the shop 
twice a week. The mechanics used just enough bolts on the sheet metal to 
barely hold it on. I swear they would have used Velcro if they could have 
gotten away with it. Anything that didn't have to be on that machine to run 
was left off to speed up repairs. And it was the main machine for the 
cemetery. All I can say is I hope they finally dug a hole and gave it a 
fitting burial. It certainly deserved a better fate than being scrapped or 
parted out. Too bad there wasn't an hour meter on it.

Son Scott and I decided long ago that there is a whole herd of guys out
there that only live to get under a hood and remove and discard the carb
tag, the radiator shroud and the battery hold-down...
