Greg, I checked out the auction & I don't think it's a scam. It's a private
auction. Freight Train (model 582 Cub Cadet) tractor has been around for a long
time. Julian Stahl was the original builder & owner of that tractor. His
older son used to pull it. It's a very competitive tractor & it actually pulls
like a freight train. It pulled my sled for several years here in Missouri until
the second owner decided to sell it to someone out of state.
