In Reply to: Used Serial Number tags posted by Tramway Guy on November 09, 2009 at 04:52:21:
I think the first reply to this post hit the nail on the head. If someone changes the part that has the tag on it, then what? In that case you've got an identical part from another machine on your machine with the only deifference being the serial number tag. When your dealing with a machine as old as most of the tractors being discussed it usually isn't going to matter a whole lot whether it has the 'correct' tag or not. Granted there can be problems associated with finding the exact right part, if there was a serial number break or something. Even then most machines that old shared somany parts in common and unless your the origional owner or find a 'gently' used machine, most have parts from several different machines on them anyway so in the end who cares? As for VINS, whether it's 'against the law' or not the selling of VIN plates for automotive restorers is common practice also. The same thing applies as I stated origionally with the tractors, what happens when you swap out the part with the VIN tag on it to another vehicle in the course of a repair? You've already got a repaired vehicle so the 'origional'/unrestored value is gone so who cares what the tag says. In this case it's used to register the vehicle with the gov only and as long as the vehicle with the correct VIn plate is registered and the plate stays with that vehicle as long as it is no one cares. I think it all comes down to the value of the machine, no matter what machine your talking about. If you've swapped out enough parts then the value isn't going to be as great as if it was all origional. Then again if the parts are all the same on every tractor like it then who cares. In the end tag or no tag, origional, restored, or unrestored, a machine is only worth as much as someone is willing to give for it no matter what tag it has or doesn't have on it.
