I have done it a few times,its harder these days as the local offices are being closed down.Go onto the DVLA website and check if your office is still open.Then get serial numbers off the machine,contact the Ferguson club.They will let you know the date it was built.They should also help in geting it road reg with an age related plate as they will provide details for the DVLA ,you may also get a DVLA person to look at the tractor to check its existance.When I did my T20 it was givern an allocated spare Scottish prefix plate at that time.If you have no original reg plate on the tractor you will find your local office helpfull,if its still open,You can get the V5 form from your post office
Good luck
Martyn
