[AT] Kubota followup

[Mike M]

I bought a 72" 3 point finish mower last year; could it have been
stolen? I suppose, but there's just no way to know. I try  to read the
seller, and I'm pretty good at that, in the end you have to follow your
your gut. The guy raised Wagyu beef and didn't need it anymore. He did
not set off any bells or whistles in my mind of being a thief.
