    Cody you should have looked in the engine compartment for the second stamp of the serial number. All heavy equipment has 2 vin numbers printed on the equipment.
    Sometimes there are 3 printed on heavy equipment.
    That would have verified that the VIN's match up correctly.
    The one in the engine compartment is stamped on and only can be removed by removing the engine and grinding it off.

    I have worked at multiple manufacturing/assembly plants, including Manitou Skid Steer Plant. As each machine goes down the assembly line, all the major internal parts (hydrostatic pump, gear pump, drive motors) have their own serial numbers from each of their suppliers. John Deere would then record each of those serial numbers on the build order, and stored in the records of JD Service Department. So even if the main data plate gets altered, those components could be crosschecked against the factory build. I'm sure John Deere could supply that build order.

    Cody you need to find the engine serial number as well as the machines serial number. They are different as well as the date codes and serial numbers from the hubs and drive motors. John Deere keeps a record of those numbers when a machine is built. It may take some work to get those numbers but I promise you a log book was filled out when that machine came down the assembly line that has all those numbers in it and they will share that information. Good luck and I hope you find it.

      God doesn’t die, because He himself is life. Therefore it was necessary for Him to forsake Jesus on the cross. And that is also the reason why Jesus cried out these words: “God, why have you forsaken me?” (Mark 15:34)., so to all of you seeing Jesus as a weak GOD, JESUS did this all for you so you can be saved from hell!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

    if a car/skid loader is stolen, the insurance company will wait 30 days to see if it turns up. If the vehicle is not found within 30 days and that person has theft coverage, the insurance company will pay out what it is worth AFTER you sign over the title to them. So if it IS found, the insurance company will then sell it at auction or whatever. That is a legal sale, because in that case the owner (now the insurance company) has recovered it. So just because it was sold, doesn't mean they faked any documents to sell it. Just means it was most likely found and sent back to the owner (the insurance company). Normally when they do a recover in a car, the insurance company will contact you to see if you want to get any personal item out, but a skid loader there wouldn't be any most likely so they would not bother to tell you it was recovered. I've been through this as my car was stolen in 1999 and that is how it works. Glad you found it.

They then sell the equipment to places like the middle east, or Ukraine, or some countries in Europe. A lot goes to Spain. These places have right to repair laws that John Deere exploits. From there, John Deere sells parts at a higher markup, charging many times more than what it costs if they sold it in the U.S. They produce the incentive for the american market to buy new equipment, and profit more from an international repair market.

    I used to sell heavy logging equipment. Once in the field with a potential customer, was taking a look at a machine he wanted to use as a trade on another one we had. So was doing my usual inspection looking for the vin number, operation ability, wear, and hours. Took a bunch of photos. Which for some reason he was being weird about. Noticed the hour meter wasn’t working and the vin plate had the same missing thing that Cody’s machine had. Got back to my office and sent in all the photos and info to my boss. Got a call a hour later than the machine was stolen and not from the guy I was meeting. Turns out that he had stolen it a few years ago. After some time I was able to get it back to the original owner. He was so happy with the work I had put in to make that happen. Not only did I get him as a customer, he gave me a stack of cash as a thank you. Lesson is if something seems wrong, it probably is.

I would check with Farm Bureau, Progressive or other major insurance companies who insure large implements such as the Skid Loader. If they don't give up the information freely, try applying for a policy with the information of your dad's stolen Skid Loader. (Vin and Model Number) I hope and pray you find it, as I cannot stand a thief!

    The whole smashing up and breaking stuff is entertaining for a short time and gets a but predictable but this is GOLD hope he does more of these!
    I watched the other one where he had bows and other stuff stolen by a neighbour and that was quality, the whole denial and then admission by the thief and the emotional apology and genuine remorse, that was a life changing moment for that guy.

    I’ve had equipment stolen from me during that time. Nothing as valuable as a skid steer, but it was definitely still valuable.
    I was absolutely affected by my anger, and my desire to seek revenge.
    I wish I could say I’m so much wiser now, but I may be lying if I said I wouldn’t feel the same way today.
    What I’m saying is…don’t let your emotions rule you, and drive you to make such drastic decisions.
    The thief who stole the skid steer back then may very we’ll be long dead by now, but that’s beside the point.

      Another way to look at serial numbers that have been altered is to X-ray the metal, sounds crazy but but I’ve seen it work, when ever someone tries to erase serial numbers on a gun for instance, all you have to X-ray where there serial number was and Boom it shows clear as day…
