Haven"t read the replies. I can understand your frustration. These types of tug-of-wars go on all the time, usually with property lines, for decades & generations & you are in the middle of it.

I am a simple dirt farmer, no lawyer, so my advise is worth little. I believe if this were a million dollar item, the following would happen: Initially the courts would say the old woman owns it, give it back.

On appeal, the courts would rule some type of abandonment, it belongs to the fellow.

And now to you, so it"s yours to keep.

but, that would be thousands of dollars of litigation....

I would let things simmer down a bit, see if the lady will take the money that was involved, rather than the tractor.

If it looks like you have to, or will, give it back, I would take off the parts you improved. That is your sweat & equity & you worked in good faith. She is welcome to buy back those improvements; you are returning the basic tractor which you thought you owned in good faith. She is not entitled to your sweat. If it doesn"t have a carb, gas tank, tires, etc & whatever, it really did not have those things at the time you bought it either. She is not, in any way, entitled to a running tractor with new parts.

My opinion. Give the simmering down thing a good long try - she is in a tiff with the fellow, you are on the sidelines & try to stay there, out of the "game". Things can work out if you are a diplomat about it.
