Like Bob said there are many noncrooked reasons for serial number plates to be missing on old equipment. Working on equipment for a living I see it all the time. One big thing nowdays is these mfgs in their quest to save the almighty dollar have started putting all the important info on printed tags or something similar. These are worthless because they fade out, peel off, or otherwise become unreadable in a very short period of time. Believe it or not I recently saw an industrial engine in a piece of equipment that actually had the serial number sticker attached to the alternator. Now what happens the first time the alt. goes bad....all that engine info just disappeares. Funny thing is one of the first things in just about every owners manual says to get parts have the model and serial number handy.....In the end the mfg looses out because in my experience when parts become a nightmare to get for any reason, even something as stupid as this, the customer will usually think twice before buying the same brand of equipment the next time. Alot of the old equipment we work on actually has the part numbers cast or stamped into the piece, so no matter if you have a complete machine or just that one part, it's no problem knowing what you need. With all the high technology that is supposidly available to industry nowdays why can't they even begin to match up with what was being done as late as 30 yrs ago???? Just my .02

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'.
