(a) No person shall knowingly tamper with, adjust, alter, change, set back, disconnect, or, with intent to defraud, fail to connect the hour meter of any farm machinery, or cause any of the foregoing to occur to an hour meter of any farm machinery, so as to reflect fewer hours than the farm machinery has actually been operated.
(b) No person, with the intent to defraud, shall operate any farm machinery knowing that the hour meter is disconnected or nonfunctional.
(c) No person shall advertise for sale, sell, use, or install on any part of any farm machinery or on any hour meter on any farm machinery any device which causes the hour meter to register any hours other than the true hours of operation.
(d) No person shall sell or offer for sale any farm machinery with knowledge that the hours registered on the hour meter have been altered so as to reflect fewer hours than the farm machinery has actually been operated without disclosing such fact to prospective purchasers.
