Well today is the day. Had a appointment to pick up my 400 at Broadway and 2nd street N in Minneapolis at 12 pm. ( very bad part of town)
No big deal should be able to load up and get out before rush hr traffic and take the slow rd home.

Whats the odds of that going as planned?

I show up at 11:45, find the place and go inside.
Told him why I am here. Guy says sure know all about it. Follow me to your tractor. Go through a couple doors. I am feeling great hopping to see my girl just around the next corner.
There it is he says. Pointing to a nice Farmall H with a belly mower.
Nope thats not it.
" well thats the one they told me to bring up here"

I said nope. Mines a Farmall 400 with a bla bla and a bla bla bla. And I gave photos to them.

He makes a call and find out my 400 is way down in southern MN some where. He says well you can drive down there and get it.
I say" ahhhhh NO. I have no intention of hauling a tractor though rush hr traffic.

Any way supposedly my 400 will be at the Broadway place at 2pm and I can then pick it up.
STill means I have to fight some traffic.

Will see how round 2 goes.

Sometimes you can't win for losing, at least your 400 is coming home. Any idea who the H belongs to?

Yes it belonged to the previos owner of the land where my 400 was at. One of the 5 tractors he got impounded.
Bit of good news. I happened to get the contact info for the sales agent that handles the auctions of these things. He said it may take a year or so but he didnt think many tractor buyers would be around when these things go.

Maybe I might end up with that H and the Hydro 70 he had. Never know.

Good luck, Kelly. Expect the unexpected. Ain't is amazing how innocent, law-abiding bystanders can get all caught up in the bureaucratic law enforcement jungle. I'm sure you will be well-compensated for your lost time and productivity. LOL
