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.</span> <br>
