Stolen Tractor

emccauley2 · Feb 15, 2015

My Kubota was stolen last summer from Outagamie County, WI. I am looking for any information about the dealership from which I had purchased it from. They were located in Embarrass, WI and are now out of business. I believe the model is L4850. How would one go about finding a serial number? I seem to be at a dead end.

If you financed the purchase the bank or credit union would have the serial numbers as well as model numbers. Sorry for your loss I hope you are able to get the try to back or had enough insurance on it.

If you financed, you likely had KTAC insurance, they would also have the numbers on the tractor and loader.

Your bill-of-sale from the tractor dealer should have serial numbers. Do you have it?

Unfortunately I don't have the bill of sale. This was in 1995. I did finance through a bank but they claim they don't have records that far back.

But did you check with KTAC,? you may have had the Kubota insurance if you financed. They might still have the records.

Did you file a stolen tractor report with the police?

I wonder if Kubota of America would have still have records of what they sold to that dealership?

Not being critical here, but one of the first things I did was take photo's of the serial number plates of the tractor and loader when my current tractor was delivered. As we all know tractors are not titled, and it can be a problem putting a stolen tractors numbers into NCIC when it is stolen. There are plenty of places to get the VIN number of a car but a tractor can be a PITA to get documented.
