[AT] Kubota followup

[magreer67]

There are no "titles" for tractors like this. The original owner would have a receipt or bill of sale from the dealer where it was purchased new. That may or may not get passed along to subsequent owners. Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone

   We took some time yesterday to go and view the Kubota 2301. It was located right in the heart of Providence, RI and the last place you would expect a tractor. The tractor is a 2017 B2301 with 154 hours on it. The initial impression was that it looked good. Closer inspection showed some scratches on the hood and the holes in the radiator screen. One of the headlights was also cracked. It looks like someone ran into some sharp brush which cracked the head light and poked holes in the radiator screen. The bucket was straight and the loader had no slop in it . The loader picked up the tractor with no issues. The three point worked as it should. Some negatives I saw. The loader pins did not have much visible grease out of the fittings. The next thing I noticed is that the oil filter was still the original Kubota grey color. I have been lead to believe that replacements are white in color. The new owner states that the original owner had the 50 hour service done but I am suspicious. The biggest item I saw was that when I asked for a title/certificate of origin, he said that he didn't get one from the previous owner. I am almost positive that you have to have some type of documentation for a machine like this to prove ownership. Is there a way to determine if this tractor was stolen?  The new owner was also concerned that he may have a "hot" tractor. If there is a method or web site you can point me to it would be greatly appreciated.
