    Forgot all about the tractor tax issue. . . . . Posted on another thread. Was worried about the back tax arrears.

    Rang home today and dad had the lot taken care of, whew!

    Now to find a loophole in the system to get a book for the grey 20!
    If a car is made in 2011, and doesnt reach the market till 2012 - its a 2012.
    so if a tractor was made in 1955 . . . A 132 fergie , wouldnt that be a first!

    Bound to be someone advertising a Grey 20 taxbook on D D soon.
    People who sell them have presumably declared then off the road, using just the tax book, while the actual tractor is long gone .

    Just heard a soldier on the radio. Lives in a council house. Brings home 720 euro per week. Gets a clothing allowance. Footwear allowance and travel allowance. Has 4 kids and wife works part time while mother in law minds kids. He says that they are on the bread line and living in absolute poverty. Apparently 2000 other soldiers in the country in the same boat. God help them! Imagine if they had to pay a mortgage.

    "if" I were to buy that tax book, (which I cant) the serial number wont match my one?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,190 ✭✭✭jersey101


    You cant beat the toast that the aga makes. Been a long time since ive had it :D

    Its a very murky area, alright. And the advertising of them is frowned upon by the ad. websites. Regarding the serial numbers, Triggers Broom?

    Was it never registered? If it was and the paperwork and numbers are irretrievably lost, I think you can get a letter from the "Friends of Ferguson Heritage" club to verify the age and year built, and take it from there, you might need to get letter from a Peace Commissioner and a form from the Gardai to get a reg. number
    Try posting in the Classic Cars forum.
    Failing all that, if you really need a reg. number to bring it out on the road, and to have it legal and insured, have you a relative or friend in the North who may be able to get it registered there , and sell just back to you?

    I have got the letter from AGCO. looking at it I could do it up myself!

    I have the original reg, it was painted onto the bonnet. When I got onto Shannon there was no record of it being registered..

    Whelan1 - there's a 2-page article on all the time-scales around TB testing in the current IFJ which I found clear and helpful - and I'm not a livestock farmer!
