Look, speaking as a retired NYSP DOT Trooper, you have to do some homework. Going to RPRU to display a tractor probably (???) isn't under the definition of a Commercial Motor Vehicle, or so I'm told. Things have changed since I retired. So chances are, and you'll need to check on this, you won't fall under the FMCSR. But, scales are not a Federal issue, they are a state issue, so you're going to need to check with state authority as far as scales and licensing. Don't depend on something a faceless name on a website forum gives you for info. I've seen a lot, and I mean a LOT, of truly bad info given here and elsewhere. Call the states you are going to pass through State Police or Highway Patrol, get the info, get a name of who you talked to, ask every question you can think of, get it in print if you can (like from a state website), etc. Better safe than sorry.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
