That’s the right idea, Luca, but now you need to use it to formulate a sentence that has more or less the same sound as the original: “He tractor down.”
P.S. Think about apostrophes and sounds that easily disappear in spoken English…
You’re on the right ‘track’, Claudio, but the syntax is different. The pronunciation of the two versions must be more or less the same in a pun, so that ‘by her’ is out of place.
He track down , like he “locate” her?

How did the farmer find his wife?
He tracked her down
But I’m ot sure it sounds like a tractor
That’s it, Luca!
Imagine it written like this: “He tracked ‘er down.” (‘er = her)
Well done! 🙂
By her track down.
