Usually, to buy some old farm equipment to restore and sell or use.  I guess the best find was a 16' John Deere Land Pride disk that I picked up for $50. Kind of unique because it was hinged in the middle so it would follow the lay of the land. Spent a couple hundred bucks putting in new bearings, new disks and new paint so it basically looked new. While pulling it down the highway at 15 mph to the farm, some guy from Delaware that was in Ponca on a sales gig was looking at a map, eating cheeto's while driving the speed limit of 70 mph, rammed into the disk without hitting his brakes. The disk popped up in the air with the rear gang coming down on his windshield. Two disks were on either side of his head. The impact then propelled us into the ditch, tweaking the frame on the Toyota and banging my buddy and I up pretty hard. I posted pics of the accident on this forum in the past. Long story short, the insurance adjuster thought it was a new disk and paid handsomely. Made a great profit off that rebuild.</blockquote>
