sounds like a scam.
Its a scam.
Your second day there, they will mention the project in the barn.
It will be a rutabaga harvester, from 1971. Italian built. Disassembled. Serial # 6 of the 5 total ever built. (#1 was the factory prototype).
The guy who disassembled it, left 8 years ago. Not only does he not work there anymore, he's dead.
The parts and pieces removed from it, are in 4 cardboard boxes, 3 five gallon buckets, and two random pallets with the big pieces.
Its also been moved between two different barns, after they drug it out of the shop, so they aren't sure if all the parts in the boxes, go to that machine.
They have the manuals, fortunately not in italian, so you shouldn't have to worry about translating if your italian is rusty. The manuals are in german.
You better hurry up and get down there, harvest is coming and its their only machine for it.
