Just like the others, I'm not a lawyer, but I'll throw in my two cents. I'm in agreement that you should keep the tractor in your posession until such time as she can prove ownership. A bill of sale from whatever year would pretty much be worthless without a serial number on it, in my opinion. Maybe inform her that they built 300,000 or so JD "B"s and that without a serial number, she's going to be hard-pressed to prove it was hers. I would also contact a lawyer before contacting the police. Do what he or she says. If you are an upstanding citizen and acted in good faith, I seriously doubt you have to worry about any criminal ramifications. If you do end up having to forfeit it, make it known that you expect to receive some compensation for your time and trouble in doing what you've done so far, and possibly get paperwork to that effect. Get estimates from some independent mechanics and/or JD dealerships on how much it would cost in labor for them to do a like amount of work, and have receipts for the parts you've installed. If it looks like it's going to cost her money to get it back, she might change her tune. Letting her "cool down" as her employee said is probably a good idea, as he likely has a pretty good idea of how to deal with her. If all else fails and it looks like it's going to cause a bunch of hard feelings or ongoing trouble, you're probably best off to put it back to as near as condition as when you got it and let them come get it. I definitely wouldn't haul it back to her though, as that would be tantamount to admitting guilt. And she doesn't deserve to have that over you.
