Bob, my state, Michigan does not require registration or bill of
sales for tractors or implements. The police wouldn't know where to
start.<br>

<div>I always have asked for bills of sales. For tractors, off
road vehicles and purchases of parts with serial numbers. Doesnt
mean the person selling is the right full owner. Just means it
more likely a legit transaction, maybe.</div>

Interesting, something I've never thought of, I've never
gotten a bill of sale for a used tractor. I did buy them
through auctions, which I suppose shields me a bit. No
titles for tractors, or implements for that matter.<br>

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.</span> <br>
