In a recent message I was asked why i did not disclose the serial number of a tractor I did not own. My question is what is the consensus--If you don't have permission and you don't own the tractor is it okay to publicize the other guys tractor info?

Steve, I certainly never intended to stir up any animosity or invade any individual's privacy. I was only trying to help and get a liitle more information. What Brandon had to say was right on the money. firedog

Dear Firedog,
I certainly feel badly if I made you uncomfortable. I actually wasn't sure of what the proper protocol was. Please don't take any insult from my asking the question. None was intended. My request for opinion was just that, a request for opinion. I took no insult and I hope you can accept my apology if you were made to feel uncomfortable.

Steve

Steve, You had two different post with two good questions. I guess becouse I read them back to back that I made one question out of them. I have read many of your post and I know you never put someone down in any way and that you didn't this time. I should have put the first question out of my mind before reading the second. I am sorry becouse I know I made you feel bad when you shouldn't have . Again I apologize. CLW

What I like most about this passion is that we are concerned about doing the correct thing. That's why I asked if it was okay to give out a serial number for a tractor that I don't own. I am impressed with the way everyone reacted to defend the way in which the order of my questions might have impacted someone else and in turn how I might have been impacted. For a bunch of guys who are crazy about old iron, we seem very attuned to one another. Best part about this hobby are the folks in it.

In most cases I would say no, however in this case I think he was wanting the number to help answer your question and no other reason. Brandon had a good idea about listing the first 3 or 4 numbers. This would in most cases get someone close enough to help which is why you ask in the first place. I think you have unintentionally made this person look less then honest.

Why would anyone ask you for someone else's serial
number?
