With some brands, there are in fact RECORDS of serial numbers. Sometimes, it is also possible to fabricate a complete, RARE LOW PRODUCTION tractor, like say a HI CROP, from parts. Normally, a RARE, COLLECTABLE tractor, from one of the brands with records available, (like say JOHN DEERE) can be authenticated as being genuine and original by it"s serial number plate. For some strange reason, it then makes the serial number plate itself the most collectable part of the tractor. If someone were to build a tractor from parts and try and pass it off as an original, you then enter the same realm as someone who forges an Old Master Painting and tries to sell it as "original"! So far as I know, NO ONE sells replacement JOHN DEERE tags. On the other hand, high crop or other scarce Farmalls must not be as valuable to collectors, since replacement, blank tags for Farmalls are readily available. Perhaps that"s why they are not as valuable! NO ONE CAN AUTHENTICATE as to whether or not they are originals! Perhaps with MM or OLIVER or FORD it"s even worse?
