I never knew they had a tractor parade on the bridge. That would be a nice ride, if it wasn't too windy. I had to drive my semi down to Winn, by Mt Pleasant, and picked up a whole tree wood chipper, on the way back I had to wait for an escort across the bridge ( overwidth & overweight) so I a 15 MPH ride across. It is hard not to look around while crossing that slow!!
 
That looks like it was a lot of fun. I would have loved to do that, but Central Pa is a long ways from the Mackinc bridge unfortunately. I did have the oppurtunity to cross that bridge once while on vacation with my grandparents about 18 years ago, neat bridge.

I have one question. What make of tractor is the one with the bumper in the shots with the Chamberlain. I can't make out what it says on the grill.
 
The tractor next to the Chamberlain is also a Chamberlain, can"t tell you the model, but it has a bench seat, Perkins diesel, and gearing more favorable to raod travel. The big one has a 2 cyl. opposed gas engine, and I think a 3X3 tranny or a 4X3 tranny.
 
Your website is great. A large amount of info, well organized and very interesting to tractor folks. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing the cool pics, I've been across the bridge a few times, being on top of an M in the outside lane must feel like a 'Cary Grant' moment from [i:67685dc11f]Vertigo[/i:67685dc11f]. :lol:

Does the military vehicle club still ride the tank trails at Grayling?
