Tractor registration

[Callum milne]

I have a 1963 David brown 990 that the reg number is unclear although the sk (caithness) is clearly visible the 4 numbers aren't very clear. Is it possible to trace tractors regestered in that year in caithness

Have you tried to contact the Caithness Vintage Tractor and Machinery club? You’ll get them on Facebook.

Sorry to hijack, I have a mf 165 to register, someone said I need to fill out a 'nova' or something like that, before the dvla form?

 

[Callum milne]

Thanks I'll try them

Have you a photo of the reg to see if any of us can make it out?

Can you take a guess at what the numbers were and put that into the DVLA check site and keep trying different numbers till you get lucky.

I've tried the dvla website but with no luck, there is a tax disc from 1977 but it doesn't have the reg number on it for some reason, I'll get a photo to see what yous think

Look carefully at that tax disk, for some reason, the ink used on them fades, but the pen used indents the paper, and with a magnifying glass, the number can be made out.

OK thanks I'll have a look tomorrow

Looks like a Sutherlandshire post office stamp.

Nova certificate is for vehicles that have been imported for use in this country. Basically means notification of vehicle arrival.
If the 165 hasn’t been registered before, it should be able to be done via serial number.
