Nice pictures. Thank you for sharing. Maybe, IF I reach 80, I'll try the trip. Also nice to see an un"restored" N in work clothes. I have several. What year is your dads 2N?

Nice pictures Dave, where's your 960? I have a one
armed loader and brackets for a 960 if you really want one.

In 1961 Sault Ste Marie, Canada, our entire graduating class went on an outing to Mackinaw Island, so very interesting to see a tractor parade on the bridge!

nice pics. friend of mine went he said it was a record high number of tractors that made the crossing. sound right?

Nice Pictures! I just learned of this event this year. I may have to take my new to me 8N up there and do the crossing as well.

What is the pace that everyone goes at? With the bridge being several miles long, I could see it taking a while to cross.

10 mile an hour however going up was slower, coming down the other side was wide open

960 is in the UP with a flat back tire, getting fixed this week, would rather have had that crossing as opposed to my john deere
40

Hey Kenockee -

I'm right down the road from you in Kimball - mebbe next year, we'll caravan! I'd love to run my Suzabelle ('51 8N) across the Big Mac!!

I bet it was pretty cold crossing that bridge on a tractor. It can be cold in a car with the windows down!
