Simon Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Someone has asked how he goes about getting a V5 for a 135 he has bought for which the owner didn't have a logbook. It has no number plate on it and he doesn't know whether it ever was registered. He has the engine, gearbox & axle numbers and wants to know how he can get it registered and get a new V5 in his name.... An ideas how he should go about it people...? Thanks!

jsedelweiss Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 They don't realy sepecialise in anything. He just knows everything! If you give him a ring, he's a nice chap and give him the casting numbers and he might be able to get you your reg. He works for the dvla as well doing the vintage tractor regastrations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Pop down The Fox and Hound, Simon. There is usually a bloke sat in the snug with a jippy leg and hungry looking whippet.

robbo Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Simon I will be able to contact the Police liaison office at DVLA and get you a definitive answer but not until next Tuesday if you can wait that long ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 I have still to get one of my tractor registered since it was taken in from France and was never registered in the United Kingdom. I have the serial plate and number but only one person in France ( used to write in T&M ) though it was was around 1957. I then spoke to a chap from Alyth who deals with the DVLA in inspecting and agreeing the age so that an age related number can be issued. Remembering back to when I restored my Farmall A back in 1987 the year was stamped on the inside of the rear wheel rims. A couple of years ago we removed a rather rusted tyre from one of the wheels top reveal the date. I showed the chap the photos of tractor and wheel and date. He said that this would be sufficient for him to verify and obtain an age related number. I really must get around to doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't have thought they would have accepted something which can so easily be changed.....! Thanks for that though.... very interesting....

Well I haven't sent the photos to the chap yet only showed him them. Time will tell when he submits whatever paperwork he has to do. If fact I must enquire with DVLA if I can do it myself since I'm not sure what the chap charges for doing it. Maybe they need third part confirmation. Having said that the rims were hard to break from rim and the tube was well and truly rusted to the inside rim. As for taking evidence from serial plates well it would be even easier to cheat there since usually only held on with 3 to 4 bifurcated rivets and are easily removed and changed. You can buy serial plates from dealers and stamp them yourself. Good evidence can come from casting serial number but again castings can be changed and no one has such a good knowledge of dating by castings. It will be interesting to see what Mike gleans from his liaison office at DVLA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ploughmaster Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 There was a feature article on registering/re-registering vintage tractors in the July 2009 issue of Classic Tractor which is worth reading if you have it. If you are lucky, the logbook/V5 and the number plate have simply got lost recently and DVLA will have a record of the machine. If it has never been registered, or has not been licenced since before 1983, it will need a bit more work. You will need to contact either the tractor club relating to the make, or an authorised all makes specialist such as the aforementioned Cornish Tractor Club, because DVLA will require an expert (authorised by them) to provide documentary evidence to tie the chassis number to the date of manufacture before they can issue an age related number for the tractor.

sparrow legs Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 ive used the cornish tractor club in the past, very good chap but very slow time wise. just went with a mate to get a tractor registered yesterday as it happens, took the seriel plate number, engine number and casting numbers off the block and transmision, also took photos of the tractor plates/numbers and bothsides and front/rear pics, filled in the orange v5 from payed £55 and a Q plate is in the post if you have the year it was made you can go for age related but in our case the date wasnt avalible so was registered within 5mins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
