A lot depends on how the 1st user took care of it. I agree with John that unless you manufactured it it's hard to be the original owner.

I have a Farmall Super C that I bought from the grandson of the guy who bought it new. Very original and well maintained but well used. The story goes that it never left the ranch in Chappel Hill TX since the day it was driven home, 56 years, till I bought it. I have a tendancy to believe that because the shed where this tracotor was stored had nails in the walls and shelves full of used, welded and broken parts. The old guy threw nothing away. Old points, spark plugs etc put back in the original boxes.

The story and history is fun for me. It was awesome envisioning that tractor running the fields that I was overlooking while the grandson showed me the place and told me about "Pops". What should have been a 30 minute transaction ended up taking most of the afternoon by the time we got done visiting.
