How come you get to choose the year of your Jeep, but you are so worried about tractor serial number plates?(Not to start a "war", I just thought your two posts to the "Tractor Serial Number Plates on ebay" thread were at odds with each other!) Your first post, about the necessity of keeping the correct tag with the correct tractor: "It is just an ethical issue and introduces inaccurated information into a topic that true tractor collectors with legitimicy take seriously. If your tractor needed a block and you purchased one from salvage that had a serial number it seems to me the tag from your own tractor would be the proper one to use, not the one from the block." And then your other post, where YOU get to "pick and choose" what YOU have: "Speaking of serial numbers, several of my projects have serial numbers stamped on engine block. My 29 model a ford, 35 Chevy grain truck, and my M38a1 military Jeep. I have no idea what year my jeep is as I purchased it without an engine and the engine I put in it was taken out of a crate from military surplus. I had to assign a year in order to get a title. So I waved my wand and made it a 1952."
To me, those two replies are pretty inconsistant with each other!
