I will tell you what happened.
That stupid son of a bitch broke down last fall and has been having trouble with that thing.
So he left it out there ALLLLLLLL winter in hopes that it would get blown to hell so he could collect insurance ORRRR his gubermint would buy him a brand new one.
That is what happened.
So you re in contact with a Ukrainian farmer? How quaint! Is he a relative? Or are you just making things up as usual?
