No personal attack here--you are entitled to do as you please, and asked for opinions--so here is mine. 1) I think you way, way, way over-reacted.
2) NEVER pay for something before it is delivered.
To me, there is a lot of difference between refusing to pay upon delivery if you are not satisfied vs.stopping payment. Stopping payment over some books is excessive and child-like. Now, if the tractor was damaged, was not the model you had purchased, was missing some expensive options you had ordered--then I think you still should have given them a small window to correct their mistake before doing as you did. You have burned your bridges over a really small detail--I hope you don't need this dealership in the future!! They certainly will remember how you treated them on this. I know they were wrong, but make the punishment fit the crime, for pete's sake. You went way overboard. If I was the dealer, I would get the manual (and anything else they owe you) to you ASAP and then hope they never see you again. Honey gets you more than vinegar, and their day-to-day challenges of running a dealership don't need to include you. Just my opinion--remember, you asked for it. (I have over three-quarter's of a million dollars worth of machinery in sheds here, and have NEVER pulled a stunt like you did--and all over a book. WOW)
