How many number plates must a tractor show?

JohnBoy

Do they need them front and rear, just one?

JohnBoy

and if just one, which one?

reilig

All licensed Vehicles being driven on public highways must show a visible number plate front and rear. Its an offence not to.

JohnBoy

Any suggestions on where to put one on the front of this?



Above the windscreen where it says ford?

or on the grille between the ford name and the lights?



hmmmm

Bizzum

Stick a square one on the mudguard?

below the lights, make up something to bolt on i reckon. though there isnt alot of 4 or 5000's with front number plates and i doubt shel be breaking the speed limit, hardly ever seen a front number plate on tractors in vintage runs

The front number plate on our Case 985 reads ''MAD 4 TAR'' no joke! I've never heard of a gaurd calling a farmer on numberplates? Lights maybe.

Im nearly certain your right. I know the front plate on mine is tiny and wouldnt be legal but its there for show

Just use an ordinary log one and leave it on the dash leaning against the windscreen

you need one on the front as the guards can type the number plate in to there on board computer and it will say weither its taxed insured and who it belongs to. and if you dont have one on the front theyll have to pull you and you dont want that. its happened to a fella down road from me

Handiest place t put on on a 4000 is, u know the four holes under the grille where you bolt the wiight carrier too, pare a bit of a stick and drive it into 2 of the holes, line up plate, 2 wood screws and bobs ur uncle !!!
