Botaman:

Does that mean if I give you a serial number you can tell the seller and purchaser?? How did you do that??

uh, he does it the same way any of us could. Call Kubota in Columbus and give them the serial number - they can tell who they sold it to and when (first retail sale). But probably if everyone started calling them they'd stop doing it. So we should think a minute before calling them with a number we don't really care about.

Thru Kubotas dealers website a dealer has the capability of looking up the orginial owner & selling dealer. No phone call is necessary.Just happen to be on line with Kubota when I came across the request and had time to check it out not something I would do regularly.

Botaman: Thank you for the answer. I really didn't know that you could do that.
