Thanks to all who answered earlier questions. It feels good to know you're not alone.The highways act in the province of Ontario, Canada, states that " implements of husbandry(sp?)" i.e. a tractor requries no licence to travel the roads if on farm business. All that is required is that the driver be at least 16 years of age,that you have operable electric lights( if original equipment on the tractor) and an orange triangle, and that the tractor be in good mechanical shape. Here's the rub..... I don't live on a farm( I live in a rural subdivision) I don't have "farm" business to do. I just want to "exercise" my baby from time to time and use it locally in the occasional parade without hauling it everywhere. When asked, the local constabulary stated that a licence was not necessary. He just smiled when I said that I wasn't on a farm( and therefore the equipment was not covered under a farm operator's insurance) and restated that a licence wasn't necessary. How do the rest of you do it? Are you all on acreages or to you get soemthing called registration plates. If not on a farm, how did you get insurance for your old timers. I confess I didn't think of all the details before purchasing my grandfather's DC-4..... .. Thanks in advance for your responses.
