I believe that in my state, you would be guilty of the Felony crime of Unauthorized Issuance of a Bank Check unless you make the check good. It is against the law to write someone a check and then put a stop on it. But it may not be in your state. I would suggest talking to a lawyer, since you soon might be talking to a cop about the problem.
The lawyer also can tell you if you have any possibility of recovering any money if you sue the seller in civil court.
You didn't say what you did with the combine. Did you tow it to your home, tow it back to the seller's place, or leave it where it quit?
I have bought things that broke fairly soon after I bought them. It didn't make me happy, but I fixed what broke and went on with my life. I probably would not buy something else from that seller though. You take your chances when you buy used equipment...and unless you were given a written warranty in the sales contract, I don't think you have much of a chance.
To the question: Did I do the right thing?, I would answer NO, in my opinion. Good luck!
