I have several unplugged wires and it looks like there's a mount for something - Driver side fender flare - Entire pass...

    I usually end up going 3 months at a time either because of winter or working out of town for long periods. A couple hundred bucks for a 40k plate for 3 months isn’t bad at all.

    Just a little background here, I’ve owned an M35A3 deuce for apprx 5 years and it’s been weight plated. I was surprised to see that this guy had a Farm plate on his M51A2. I know I had been through lengthy conversations about plates when I bought the deuce, but talking to this guy rekindled the...

    Looks like a fun link to do a little learning. I’ll check it out. Much appreciated!

    If you have to have a legitimate current operating farm business then it’s pretty straightforward about the plate. My thoughts were I have land, I’m building roads and cleaning the property. Hauling gravel one day, hauling scrap tires that someone left in a creek, and piles of garbage the next.

    I did read that page several times. I didn’t look into the actual definition of a farm. Maybe I can haul gravel to build a road into my property that will soon become a farm? There are other people that are claiming that it’s no big deal and they just put a farm plate on their trucks. I know...

    So, I bought a new truck, an M51A2, and the guy had been running farm plates on it for 10 years. After talking to him for awhile, I decided I could also use farm plates, and the truck would be much easier to keep on the road with a $20 plate instead of paying for 40,000 plates. How “eligible”...

    I do see the curb weight at about 30,000, and weight carrying at 30,000. I haul junk and sometimes people with my deuce, so it usually doesn’t have too much weight in it. A guy could plate it for whatever the planned cargo is, as long as it isn’t over weight. I only end up driving mine for up...

    Thanks for the info! I may run to another SOS if I buy another truck. MTVR here we come!

    Was it a title transfer from another state? What do you think they’d do if you tried to transfer a title straight from the government if you buy a truck at auction? On one hand I’m glad I listened to them, otherwise I’d probably have bought an MTVR among others and had no money. On the other...

    So if I buy a state titled, say Wisconsin state titled military vehicle like a deuce, and try to title and drive it in Michigan, they’ll let that happen? I currently have a Michigan titled deuce and every time I talk to them they say they wouldn’t title any more military vehicles and I’m lucky...
