This year moving my tractor around to different locations I have managed to lose a tool box, and two cell phones. Make me feel better, and tell me I am not the only one that loses things.

I lost my youth over the years! That seems to make things harder to remember, heal and do. Mark H.

I was hauling home three parts tractor in the rain. When I got home there was only two. I've retraced the 125 mile trip twice and still can't find it.

the one i hate is going out in the winter morning with a rear hay spear on the tractor. picking up a round bale of hay and traveling back to the feed lot. only to find out the bale of hay fell off the spear a 1/4 mile back.

A battery box cover going down the highway, a crushed pager, eye glasses but found them, pocket knife, exhaust pipe while bushhogging , still can't find it with a disk breaking ground, 12 foot chain with hooks on both ends in the field?
But I did find what appears to be an Indian artifact in a plowed field, a sledge hammer in the road, screwdrivers, a couple of punches, life jacket, pipe wrench, hammer, large ball peen hammer,2 knives, sockets, socket wrench, buck knife, checkbook, chain, cresent wrench, pliers -needle nose and regular, dyke pliers, wire cutters, had spotted what looked to be a pistol case on the side of the road but someone beat me to it, fertilizer - 4 sacks, 40 dollars one time, 30 or so another-thought we had found drug money in the sand on a deserted road near the beach, diamond ear ring, ice chest, beer another time, no ice yet, a bundle of dog eared fencing -new, saw a 2 foot aluminum pipe wrench but the wife wouldn't let me stop on the bridge. I can't help but stop and pick it up..

I lost my class ring on a bridge on a dirt road one night--was out "being a kid" and am sure I lost it there. About three years later a guy from Missouri sends it to me--says he found it in a lake over 30 miles away--he was using a metal detector and found it under 6 ft of water!?! He tracked me down on the internet and mailed it to me--amazed the heck out of me and I will always be baffled as to how it ended up over 30 miles away and in the place that it did. Oh well--I guess you shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth.

Lost just about any and everthing at one time. But have found that if your not looking for it you'll find it every time. So now when I loose say a pair of pliers, wait a day and then I go looking for a 38" fan belt. Low and behold the will be the pliers. Be sure to wait the required 24 hours though, if you don't you'll find something lost before and loose it again before you get back to it..... ..

you think that's funny but I found a wallet 1 year when I was plowing,I was 18 and the drivers license looked enough like me that I used it to buy alcaholfor a few years!however when I was 24 I lost my wallet in the same field plowing didnt miss it untill later when I went to get it out of my coverall pocket and bam gone.I knew where I had put the wallet in my pocket at and where I crawled around greasing the tractor then removed the bibs and folded them tossed them in the cab but no matter what I went back and looked for I couldn't find the wallet but I did find a 2' aluminum pipe wrench and half a dozen horse shoes

Still remember when my sister and I were going to make a "fort" in the Scotch Broom (shrub kind of like sage brush, but healthier). We borrowed my dad's shingling hatchet. Managed to misplace it somewhere, and dad made sis and I look for it for 2 solid days. Never did find it, but those were sure two long days. . .

A friend of mine didn't lose his cell phone--- he knows exactly what septic tank it is under. He says it was gone after the tank was set and buried, and not worth going back after, if it didn't get smashed.

Couple of years ago, was baling 1000 lbs round bales here in Missouri. Couldn't find my wallet afterwards. Had left it in the under seat tool box of a Deere 4020, as I hate to ride on my wallet all day. Four months later a rancher from Colorado mailed it to me with a note that he found it in the snow were he had unrolled a bale to feed his stock.

When I was a teenager,our neighbor next door hired me to plow for him with his 9N and 3pt. About 8 or 9 days work at $5 a day, so first thing I do is get a pocket watch so I keep the correct hours,well, that lasted about 3 days, I must have plowed it under because that new watch disappeared off the face of the earth.20 yrs.later bought my first new pocket watch, still have it since its never left the house.

I lost an entire Howard Rotospreader and the tractor drawbar on the way to enpty it one day when the drawbar bolts came adrift. I got as far as putting the PTO in gear and turning round to see half a shaft revolving before I missed it. It was sitting in the field gateway and had obviously come adrift on a bumpy bit as I went into the field. Maybe that doesn't count as lost since I found it again. Lost a Swiss army knife when harrowing with a TEF20 years ago and found it again when rolling the field. (I was looking out for it and was fortunate that it was on a bare bit.)

Or did you notice that the rotospreader was missing because there was no muck been thrown down the back of your neck! (mucky buggers weren't they? )

They could be. Those living in flat areas may say we should always have driven upwind but on a hilly area (West Central Scotland) in the winter it was downhill or nowhere. The wheels also use to come off it occasionally when the bearings wore out. (like 6pm on a wet Christmas Eve on the single track farm road - full, of course)
