I recently bought a lot of used wrenches and sockets at a local flea market. (For details, see the thread titled as: "Flea market haul. What have I DONE??!!") Anyway, there was one weird socket in the pile, with the John Deere name in the side. It bears a large number "1" (as though that might...

Or better yet, what have you guys done to me? Ack!
