This was a robbery turned murder by two dope heads. The woman used to work for him at the dealership. Don't post "what you heard".

You joined to make a comment on a thread over 2 years old? Must feel pretty strongly. I'm guessing your comment is regarding tbran's story? Which happened ~40 years ago??? I think it's ok to post what you heard at this point. What else is there?

Seems that way doesn’t it? It happened about 20 years ago if my math is correct. My point is, if you don’t know what happened, you shouldn’t speculate over what the locals said and post what you think happened.

Well, wow, sorry if I hit a nerve . Billy was a long time friend. Took several trips together, sold him parts after he went out of the AC business when no one else would. Some of his stories are almost legendary as told by his customers who from time to time visit and still tell us tales of Billy's endeavors. I 'called' on Billy as a AC rep. If you are a relative I meant no ill will , just relaying the legend how tough that ole Billy was. So sad others in his family fell victim to so much violence as well...but....

Then I must have sat upon a tractor that was re-skinned. I remember 7020, because it never felt like it rolled off the tongue like JD'S 4020, IH 1486, or MF 1105...
It could've been a 7040, it was a strong running beast.
I remember the high/low on the right leg side console succinctly because of one of Dad"s pissed off kick the cat days, he was mad at me for running in the wrong range. He stopped me ran up and jumped and grabbed the lever and yanked forward into high range.

Appreciate it. I am gonna say it was a 7040 with wrong emblems. lol. Until I can find papers, which we will soon be going through, Dad died Feb 2017, and it is getting close for Mom to go through the disposal phase, I will agree there is something fishy about the fertilizer.

That's what we called a hipper, Someone's explanation about creating a flat top on the furrow is correct, kinda a trapezoidal ridge.

First tractor we had, was a Deutz 10006, apprx 100 pto. I would pull the disc we had 3 to 5 miles an hours easily, unless the soil was little to sandy, or wet, then we ran into a traction problem, running singles, with worn tire lugs.
The A/C just kinda loped with the disc, didn't even slow down when cutting to disc axle depth, approx 12" deep. the "PICO" brand disc had largest disc I had ever saw beside the ones pulled behind dozers on virgin ground. You know the rough terrain style, offset disc.

This is one of the more bizarre conversations I've ever seen.  Downright funny in a way! 2 years and 4 months go by, someone joins the forum to specifically post about a murder mystery in Buford Pusser territory on a question about a tractor model from a confusing old memory. Then the OP comes on answering questions from before like no time went by at all. Wow, only on the internet!

Only shows, guys, that I have non-chew gum and walk at the same time, kinda of mind.
I may be in the blue shadows, but I never sail in amongst the twilight zone.

I don't know much about AC's but I spent a lot of time in West TN in the early to mid '80's. Think he might have had a test mule that escaped? Dewey Lynn had all kinds of stuff.
