I'm surprised to hear that worked. My local DVLA office said I had to go through a vintage tractor owners club to confirm that it's not a bitsa. I don't see New Holland listed in the DVLA list of owners clubs.

How much did NH charge you for the piece of paper? Perhaps they use a tractor club?

surely the manufacture can declare that the vehicle is genuine. if they don't know who else would!

They charged me nothing i sent them the pictures of the engine number and bellhousing number well i went to preston lancashire dvla

They won't know if it's a bitsa or not. Only way to check that is via the casting codes on each of the main castings. If it's a bitsa, you get a Q plate not an age related one.

Judging by Vulgan's experience, seems Preston DVLA is the place to go. Perhaps they are closing down and are demob happy?!

I got hold of new holland they managed too find the year etc but would not send me any paper work proving it so I'm back to square one

Hi, the best thing to do that I've found so far is to get a v55/5 form off the dvla website - and fill it out best as you can - the chances are you will get a q plate but it seems to be the most affective way of getting through.

Hi , I've registered about 10 tractors now , 3 or 4 Fordsons where New Holland were very helpfull
and sent a covering letter , perhaps they are getting fed up with that ! If they sent you an email can't
you copy and print that ?
Then for my other make tractors I just got a letter from a friendly local tractor dealer stating the
age of the tractors ( generally 2 0r 3 at once ) and my local DVLA office were happy with that.
They did come out to check the ID's .
When you fill in the V55/5 just fill in the parts relevent to the tractor and leave the rest , the
fuel is 'heavy oil' , good luck.
