2040s, on the hunt!

[johnboy87]

For some time now I have been trying to find the old man's old jd 2040s, 2wd, reg A289 VRL
it was sold (I believe) around 2010 at the sale and brought by Wayne Danger (sp?) Of southern tractors cornwall/southern tractors agricultural engineers and was sold on again. Now I know the tractor hasn't been taxed since 2013 but Wayne won't tell me who he sold it on to and all the dvla will tell me is that it is owned buy someone who maybe a dealer so I'm appealing to the knowledge and members of TFF in the hope of finding it.
TIA, John

Bump

 

[johnboy87]

Anyone?

Can the DVLA help you, probably not?

 

[johnboy87]

See above what little help they are

 

[Mursal]

Would a reg check help?
Use one of the many independent firms advertising, but I'm not sure how much they will actually know about a tractor? Costa about £20 - £30 , might be worth a punt?

Know any coppers?

They have to be willing to abuse the PNC slightly....

I'm in the process of filling out a V888.
You print it off the DVLA site.
It's for enquiring about current owner.

 

[johnboy87]

Tried that, they still wouldn't disclose the information to me

Can't say that I know any coppers

Have you asked the dealer to contact their customer on your behalf? If they wish to remain anonomous they can send a return message stating that it is not for sale.

 

[johnboy87]

He won't even be that helpful, as he claims that he can't remember who he sold it onto but I should think that he would have records of a transaction like that, it's as if he just can't be bothered

If you have a genuine reason for knowing who they are they should tell you
Trouble is their genuine reason is for things like parking on your land, damaging your property etc it would be wrong to make that up however maybe you have found something of value relating to the vehicle which gives a genuine reason for asking who the owner is so you can reunite the item with vehicle?
I'd ring delay and speak to someone if possible

 

[johnboy87]

Bringing this back up as I've still had no success in locating the tractor but it has moved again and being used as it is now currently taxed so any help or leads would be appreciated

Or it involved a swap and some cash ?

I went a seen him the other day and all he would tell me is that it was sold on in the trade as a bunch of 5 tractors but still claims he doesn't know who

 

[startinghandle]

how much would a private investigator charge??

 

[johnboy87]

Id dread to think

 

[startinghandle]

have you considered putting an advert in one or all of the tractor magazines??
I can tell it is important for you to find it

 

[startinghandle]

and you could put an advert in the national farming press
