Tractor with no V5

[Dave W]

Well its a starting point at least

How did you get to it? It's one digit different to the one on the tractor

The number plate has what appears to be a digit missing so if you go to the tax checker and work through the possible numbers that one comes up with a Ford New Holland related reg tho I did go past that one so 466/476 also relate to a Ford tractors however both appear to be taxed so must be registered to someone

Image you have seen must be older than how the tractor is now as no gap in this reg plate

Hope its the same one seems to have the same wee bit of damage to it on the rear below small window

 

[rusty]

Yes it is because the front axle is set wide. I asked my mechanic to put it back to a normal setting but it was stuck solid. Said he thought it had been welded up that way!

Any update @rusty ?

 

[rusty]

No not yet . Emailed DVLA 2 weeks ago with a number of possibilities and a link to this thread!
Will have to chase them up again.

I would go back to the dealer and ask him to get involved via email, so you have a full paper trail.

There is a chance the tractor could be taken away by the police if it is found to be stolen etc.

Just get a another book and plate from a breaker?

I didn't get a V5 with my 7610 either. Dealer just told us to f**k off and get it from the DVLA ourselves.
Never did. Just sold it back to another dealer 15 years later. No issues. It was sold new by that dealer in the first place though, so ownership timeline was easily checked.

I suspect he knew it was dodgy when he claimed to have 'lost' the V5.

No, no, no very few V5's overhere on anything and all legit, hones ......

What is the world record number of same vehicles on the same number plate???
Got to be a statistic somewhere possibly?

How did you manage to tax and insure it without a legitimate reg number?

 

[Barleymow]

dont need number plate for insurance skid steers aren't registered but can be insured

 

[rusty]

Got this in the post this morning.
Thanks to the power of the TFF collective I now have the V5 and can get it taxed for the road. Also need to get the correct number plate made!

Same happens with stolen cars

Sorted anyway so all is good

Iseki and Wessex deck has been stolen from our local rugby club (Cranleigh Rugby Club, Surrey) - purchased in 2019 before I joined their committee - transpires there was no V5 when purchased and the seller (a national dealer) said there was no need as it was not going on the road. Thoughts (mine are it was hot when it came in and stolen to order in just under a year - but over to the wider farming community

That looks like those old number plates with plug in digits, they were illegal at that time and only laminated ones should be used.
