I think you made a error.
1. At 17 I wouldn't have been treated like that in front of my girl. I would have reacted, poorly at best. At 17 I had a temper and a mouth. I would have done or said something to appear like a man to her. And that's what you did. You challenged his manhood in front of her.
2. What was her being there going to hurt? Heck she may have pitched in to help.
3. You called his mom? At 17 you could have called my mom and all that would have done was make her mad a t me and me mad at her and you. At 17 I sure wasn't going to get punished. What was she going to do? Yell a little?
I agree with others here. That kid will tell everyone he knows not to work for you. If you want to chew a worker out you always do it in private. You never put them in a position where they may feel the need to show themselves an adult to others or in this case a man in front of his girl.
Could the kid have handles it better? Sure. He could have simply said I quit and walked away.

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
