Jim as far as FED DOT laws go your Golden. No CDL or special permits or licenses. I would drive right on past any weight stations, was I in your situation. The only sticking points I see are NY DOT laws and the fact that your going after a Crawler. Everybody knows afarm tractor is used for farm or personal business. A crawler, is used in the minds of most people in an industral situation, so should there be some questions, you may have some fast talking to do.
NY is a state that doesn't think TEA means "Taxed Enough Already". So anything is possible, in a state that loves O P M contributions to the states coffers.
A bill of sale is a must have, even written on a piece of paper. A minimum of four NEW clearly marked G70 rated chains and binders (everybody knows Bull dozers are heavy). Over kill is better, don't let facts cloud the issue.
Your a person collecting Ag crawlers for a hobby. Have pics of Crawlers doing Ag work. New JD or Challangers comes to mind, better yet the type you are going after. Apperances are everything, old rusted chains and binders, have the appearance of being used to tie down alot of loads. New ones lend credence to the notion, that it is a hobby and you wanted to do it right when you hauled it home (no shortcuts for my new pride and joy).
Make sure all your lights are working and visable. Red tail lights on a red trailer don't show up well during the day (invites a friendly chat with man in the Smokey the Bear Hat). Apperances,Apperances,Apperances. If you like like a problem waiting to happen they'll try to give you one sooner rather than later.
This link says it all. If your a business. You need DOT# both FED and State. As long as you are not a business you need no permits. ETC,ETC,

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
