I bought a tractor from a former farming "partner" about 10 years ago. I couldn't find him to pay him as he was MIA due to some personal problems, so when I seen him next I paid him for it. He stopped in tonight saying that I still owed him $1000 and I had a week to pay of he was going to repo it. The deal was $3000 for a 1968 CASE 1030 WITH a JD 16' field cultivator. When I picked up the tractor the cultivator was nowhere to be seen so I gave him $2000 for the tractor and all was good. When he demanded money tonight I demanded my cultivator which apparently got cut up for scrap. There was no deal written anywhere, just word of mouth at the dinner table one night. I paid him with a check but being that it was 6+ years ago and at a bank I no longer do business with is there anything he can do? I need the tractor on the farm so hiding it is out of the question, and I did warn him that if he broke into my locked barn to repo it the sheriff would be looking for him. He took out a loan on his house and defaulted so that is why he popped up looking for cash. He has nothing to repay me with, I rebuilt half the tractor, and he has nothing to sue for if it turns up missing so what do I do? I probably got around $4-5000 invested in it so it aint going anywhere! Problem is he works for a local farmer who is a known crook and that guy owes me around $1500 from about 8 years ago. If the tractor ever left my farm I highly doubt I'd ever see it again. BTW, when I bought the tractor it had a broken manifold, brakes, steering spindle, alternator, needed batteries, front tire and rim, ect. so I think $2000 was a fair price.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
