Be careful! When I was 18, a heifer that I had hand raised sneaked up behind me and mounted me. She got both legs over my shoulders and, since she was about 800lbs, it immediately put me down on the ground. It folded me over and my back gave me problems for years afterwards.
I always bucket fed our milk cows' calves and they became pets. This heifer was a purebred Holstein that we planned to keep to replace her mother. She was always extremely tame and friendly. I never expected her to mount me! I had grown up around cattle all my life, and not other critter had ever done that.
That heifer ended up being sold to a local dairy, since my Dad went out of the dairy business soon after I left for college. The owner of the dairy told me that she was a good milker, but never seemed to "fit in" with the rest of his milking herd...maybe because she was raised differently.
I became much more careful around the cattle. You can never be totally sure just what they might do, especially if they are not a bit afraid of you. I would get rid of her if she was mine. Good luck!

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.
