901:8-1-08 Recommendations to those utilizing the program.

(A) One of the essential points of the program is the uniformity of marking property. A guide prepared by the “National Rural Crime Prevention Center” shall be distributed to all those with assigned numbers.

(B) On all equipment with non-removable tongues, manure spreaders, grain drills, auger wagons, etc., the I.D. number should be placed on the right side and top of the tongue, and twelve inches to the rear of the hitch pin. On three-point equipment with tool bar, place the I.D. number on top of the tool bar adjacent to right hitch pin.

(C) It will also be recommended in addition to the one suggested location, that individuals mark equipment in another location known only to the owner. Thus, if I.D. numbers might be removed or destroyed, property can still be positively identified by the numbers on other locations.

(D) When transferring ownership, it is suggested the seller notify the new owner that the item has been marked. The new owner should then locate his number below the previous owner’s number so that the equipment can be traced from one owner to another. Previous owner’s registered number should not be altered or defaced.
