Bill: You are so right. Farmall people can get good reproduction tags, but with JDs you can't. If a collector has a good tag on something really scarce and valuable like most high crops for example, the tag is what verifies that the tractor is an honest antique and not something built in someon's garage out of a pile of parts. If you have a tag, you can usually authenticate a tractor as to it's true age, type, scarcity etc.
There are people who put standard fenders, axles and other parts on row crop tractors and try to sell them as standards. I have seen this done at collector auctions myself. The tag can be your protection against fraud. Also, a tractor without a tag could even be a stolen tractor. How would you know? Jim C.
