One last thing, for a claim (the amount in dispute) of around $3K there is no way this jerk will do anything other than bring this into Small Claims Court, assuming he is that stupid and cantankerous. Just to file a "real" lawsuit (the upfront paperwork ONLY) a lawyer will charge him $2,000-3,000, more than the amount of his claim, and only the most unscrupulous and hard-up ambulance chaser would advise this disgruntled buyer that he has a ghost of a chance in this matter. Most states will allow individuals to bring a small claims action, without lawyers involved, for claims up to around $5,000, but the limit varies by state. (Call your city or county court clerk's office for the answer.) Small claims actions will still cost him a bunch in filing fees and registered mail charges, etc., at least in my state (NH). And he will have to write up why he believes you broke a purchase contract involving a warranty. (Few people know how to write anymore and this may be a disincentive, once he gets beyond the bluster of trying to scare you verbally.) Regardless, unless it can be proven that you gave this man a warranty on this old tractor, there is no way you stand to lose anything but the hassle factor and your time in defending yourself. (Sorry about that.)
