Hey Kent-
A "stolen" tractor is only one possibility, however, in the process of restoring an old tractor, many times the ID tag is worn away or even missing. Restorers like myself are always concerned with an original piece of the equipment like the tag and if need be, will replace it with a repro or in this case from another tractor. I know of a gentleman who reproduces Dearborn tags for the farm implements and there is certainly nothing shady in his intentions. If you have ever seen the ID tags on plows, harrows, cultivators, combines, etc. etc. you see them worn or missing. I have used a "repro" tag on one of my projects and only stamped the correct model number, but for the serial number I stamped my SS number for my ID purposes. Bear in mind that records of old pieces of farm equipment are long gone, too. HENRY (the Deuce) FORD II was good at destroying documents and old Ford tractor/Dearborn Equipment records were included. Also, almost every dealer that may still have any type of record are long gone too. What I would recommend for any one with an old tractor is to register it on boards like this (see Tractor Registry) so at least there is some type of record for the future. Just my .02 cents worth.

Mr Kendall is an excitable chap to say the least. He is amongst the last of a dying breed of farmer who
