I have a very wide centre parting. A Foreman I worked with in the eighties saw me recently and said it's true what he'd heard. I just said grass don't grow on busy roads, he countered in Somerset why would a farmer thatch an empty barn :LOL:
'Too much sex in a too-short bed' it was suggested to me.. Can assure you that's not the cause, not in my case anyway:(:cry:
 
Lots of folk get over inflated ideas of what an old tractor is worth, usually because they see a headline somewhere about one making big money in an auction. Takes an old tractor to be in real good original condition to be worth anything over the odds.

I think it did £11,200 (I was standing next to it). It was the best around - pretty much all his stuff was. It's bound to make some joskin somewhere think his is worth that, too, even though there is not a 4610 in the world that is really worth that. It's the Cambridge effect - see that thread.
