For what you are wanting your options do not include most tractors mentioned as a lot would not be easy to get on, then have a wide front, a slow enough sped for a parade or a fast enough speed for a tractor drive. So you are limited to a Small Ford with the optional Sherman Tranny for the tractor drive speed unless and I don't know the top speeds of the 6Xx and 8XX series with the 5 speed gearbox, Then the Ferguson with the sherman unless you would find a TO35 or MF35 with the 6 speed. The MF 135 might be too new for some of the things. The Fordson Dexta would have the size and wide front but is a diesel and I don't know if it has a fast enough top speed for a tractor drive. Would be the most unusual. The Oliver S55 or 550 probably would have the fast enough top speed and are good. All are low enough to easily get on. And all probably would be able to be made with good brakes and tight steering. You want wide front so most of the standard tread McCormick' s and Deere's like the AR would not have good tight steering same as all row crops with a wide front axle not a good tight steering for the tractor drives speed ,all a slightly loose steering would work for a parade bug tighened up enough for safe road speeds at top speed might be hard to get all parts to do it. And all row crops would not be easy to get on. Any John Deere like a 40. 420 or 430 that could be found in a row crop utility version probably would not be able to have the top speed required for a tractor drive. And remember most tractor drives if only one day would be ay least a 30 mile trip. But about all you would need a good after market padded seat with springs and a shock absorber. Anything older than WW2 would not be able to meet the requirements for both slow and fast speed, good brakes and good steering and ease of mounting. And rember for some events you want good lights both front and back for driving on main roads but then a way to dim them for night time parades. And have a way to take along tools for road repair, chain to pull a dead tractor and extra fuell as somebody usually runs out of fuell and ends up being pulled to end. A lot to consider. Bost of the small row crop utilitys and that includes tha Fords, Ferguson Oliver will have beeter highway steering than a lot of others mentioned. Row crops with a narrow front will steere better than one with a wide front added on.

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: JB Weld - by Staff. JB Weld is basically an epoxy glue that does an exceptionally good job of bonding to cast iron and steel along with several other materials. As I mentioned, it is so common that I have yet to buy a tractor that did not have JB Weld used somewhere. It is sometimes used so well you can't tell its there and other times used as a sloppy quick fix. Finding where and how it can be used correctly is key to whether you are using it as an "inelegant hack" or an integral solution to difficult and expens
