My opinion, in most cases DOT has too much time on their hands, and we pay far too much taxes for that time (EPA, and some local law enforcement also fits in that category). My guess is this is not something the guy is doing every day, he likely is farming and needing to store diesel to fuel equipment, and might just take that tank a few miles once or twice a year. But just a guess. I recently fractured a few laws myself when I needed to haul an old pickup I purchased to a facility to be inspected (ironically a state facility). I normally do not license my trailer, and had not hooked up my truck to connect trailer brakes. It went to a Mo. Highway Patrol facility for the inspection on an unlicensed trailer with no working brakes which is about 120 mile round trip pulling with a pickup with 6,000 lb local farm plates (I have ran those for years, and drive where I like, and no complaints yet). Yes, if law enforcement or DOT would have been there, and noticed, I might have been ticketed, or warned, but I figured I would gladly pay the fine vs. paying yearly to license a trailer I rarely take off the farm. I did replace my broken tail lights, and made sure the lights and signals were working. About half the trailers I see on the roads in MO do not even bother having working lights. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do within reason.

In July of 1998 I was talking to fellow Allis Chalmers collector Mike Schilling about the annual "Gathering of The Orange" AC show coming up in August of 1999. He got this wild idea that we should get a convoy of AC tractors and drive them from Charlotte, Michigan 105 miles to LaGrange, Indiana.
