    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

            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

                      class="default-style"> <span style="font-family:
                        helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">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.</span> <br>
