You're lucky you still have a tractor. The only reason they didn't try to steal it was because they couldn't get it in the truck.
About ten years ago, a guy a few miles up the road from me was having trouble with thieves stealing stuff from his farmstead. He was remodeling the old house and was taking a quiet break when he heard something suspicious. He peeped outside and saw a guy slipping down the driveway, carrying something in each hand. He was fed up, and popped him with a shotgun out the front window of the house. The guy dropped what he was carrying and took off running - he figgered he'd just stung him. When he went to check, the guy had been carrying two 5 quart bottles of motor oil, and they were both oozing oil where they had been hit with shot. When the sherriff got out there, he said to just wait and see if anybody complains. Nothing came up and that was the end of the thievery.
I'm not advocating this kind of justice, although I do think it is needed again. If I tried that, the thief would own the farm, Momma would be sittin' by the mailbox, and I'd be in jail.

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.
