Your case appears that it could be resolved withint he small claims limits. However, you will be doing it pro se (without and attorney) so it is a littel like stiching up your own cut. It might work, but you may get and infection or carry a scar. if you present your facts clearly, you may get an Order for the mechaic to let you pick up yrou tractor. It is inlikely that you wil get yrou $1,000 back on your own, but it is possible.
Good luck
