Your question really hit a sore spot for me. Nothing gets my hackles up faster than trespassing. I had a an hour or so a while back where I had nothing to do, and started a log of trespassing incidents I could remember. I had four pages and over 50 incidents, and I know that I missed several that came to mind afterward. I would make several observations, in no particular order. My dad had trouble with a neighbor's trespassing, I'm having trouble with his sons and grandsons. Before you undertake any actions, you should talk at length with your lawyer - you may well find that you have little you can do about the problem. Catching the culprits may be harder than you think - they can strike any time of the day or night. When you do, all you may be able to do is to ask them to leave. Law enforcement agencies put pretty low priorities on trespassing complaints, even when you can identify your culprit. Any traps or devices placed to do hurt to them or their vehicles is illegal, and likely to put YOU in jail. Even when you win, you loose. You are vulnerable to any mischeif, malicious destruction of property, or whatever. You'll be looking over your shoulder constantly. I know, I've been there. I finally caught a trasspasser a few years ago, and the DNR officer slapped him and his buddy with a ticket - cost him a whole $60, and he was back trespassing a week later.

To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
