Been away from the board for a couple of days, so am late to the party here. Not sure of the legalities in your state, but in mine, you can do "self help" if you can do it without breaching the peace. If the guy raises a fuss, have him call the cops. If he won't, or threatens you, you call the cops (from a safe distance, of course). Cop will say "Its a civil problem, go to court". But the incident will be on record, and cop should tell the guy not to do anything with the tractor, or he could be guilty of selling stolen property, now that he knows the situation.
If the guy is part of the scam, he'll probably disappear out the back door when cop comes- at which time, the "breach of the peace" is over, and you can load it up, if the cop will let you. And he probably will, when you suggest that if the guy was on the up and up, he would have stayed to plead his case with the cop.
Best way to do self help is when the guy isn't home. When I worked for an ag lender, we'd bone up on the guys habits- if he always went to the auction every week, or took the family to town on Saturday, or some such, that was the time to do it.
