powerrabbit Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Older tractors are very easy to start wheather the Lucas or whatever ignition key they use as you only have to figure out which way is run and which way is stop on the injector pump gate and use a screwdriver or spanner to short across the starter motor solenoid. The only sure way to stop them being started up is to remove the battery and also, incase the theives carry a battery, is to break the circuit in the wiring between one of the two solenoid wires by fitting a discrete connector that you can part or break this cxircuit by shortenining one of the wires by a few inches and make up a double ended connection with a length of wire in order to stop them from just connecting the wire back up because it would not then reach.

Deere-est Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 That lot will almost certainly have gone out of the country completely undetected in containers. Eastern Europe going by the makes and so on. Far too easy. Anyone using a tractor daily won't want the hassle of having to refit a battery as part of their morning feeding routine, the alternative may be no more tractor but it's a consequence few give thought too. I'll keep a note of the registrations Mike, you never know what may get picked up at an auction or seen at a yard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo Posted October 10, 2011 Author Share Posted October 10, 2011 Not just Agri tractors now, there appears to have been a major spike in JCB machines during September.

robbo Posted November 8, 2011 Author Share Posted November 8, 2011 Update from 7th November 2011 Stolen from Hepworth, North Yorkshire John Deere 7530 YJ60DFN JCB 530 FX05FZD I do have chassis and engine numbers if anyone needs them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo Posted November 15, 2011 Author Share Posted November 15, 2011 Slightly different vehicle this time. Stolen from a Lancashire small holding in June 2011 was an unusual farm vehicle. It was a 2001 Kawasaki Mule in red and black. What makes this vehicle unusual is that the owner fitted a gas conversion tank under the nearside seat. There is a gas tap on the nearside of the vehicle. This appears to be a rare conversion. With only 700 hours on the clock it was in very good condition. I do have the chassis number of required Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I haven't heard of tractor theft in my area but on the local TV news last night they were reporting an upsurge in theft of fuel from farms including central heating fuel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdc Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Big rise in Kero and Gasoil thefts round this area according to our local Farmwatch. Locking a polythene tank is no good as they just drill through - made a mess of a couple of bunded tanks locally - idiots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 You're lucky if they drill the tanks here, they usually carry gas bottles with them arount here and heat a spear up on the end of a pump hose. Once its red hot they shove it straight through the plastic tank and suck out the contents, almost 100% silent compared to a drill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drilling is no good as they can get award in their highly prized loot! Many tractors don't even come with a locking cap nowadays, cheaper to let the diesel be stolen than have to pay or claim for the tank too.

Gav836 Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Its not just tractor tanks they are doing in this manner, its the household and farm bulk tanks as well. Trouble is their holding tank isn't always big enough so they often leave a mess behind them as well when the remainder runs out across the yard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Exactly that happened to a spreading customer. He ended up having to foot the bill for a polluted water course........ A breakdown followed and the poor chap is now in a care home. All due to a group of pikeys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
