For what you are wanting your options do not include most tractors mentioned
as a lot would not be easy to get on, then have a wide front, a slow enough
sped for a parade or a fast enough speed for a tractor drive. So you are
limited to a Small Ford with the optional Sherman Tranny for the tractor
drive speed unless and I don't know the top speeds of the 6Xx and 8XX series
with the 5 speed gearbox, Then the Ferguson with the sherman unless you
would find a TO35 or MF35 with the 6 speed. The MF 135 might be too new for
some of the things. The Fordson Dexta would have the size and wide front but
is a diesel and I don't know if it has a fast enough top speed for a tractor
drive. Would be the most unusual. The Oliver S55 or 550 probably would have
the fast enough top speed and are good. All are low enough to easily get on.
And all probably would be able to be made with good brakes and tight
steering. You want wide front so most of the standard tread McCormick' s and
Deere's like the AR would not have good tight steering same as all row crops
with a wide front axle not a good tight steering for the tractor drives
speed ,all a slightly loose steering would work for a parade bug tighened up
enough for safe road speeds at top speed might be hard to get all parts to
do it. And all row crops would not be easy to get on. Any John Deere like a
40. 420 or 430 that could be found in a row crop utility version probably
would not be able to have the top speed required for a tractor drive. And
remember most tractor drives if only one day would be ay least a 30 mile
trip. But about all you would need a good after market padded seat with
springs and a shock absorber. Anything older than WW2 would not be able to
meet the requirements for both slow and fast speed, good brakes and good
steering and ease of mounting. And rember for some events you want good
lights both front and back for driving on main roads but then a way to dim
them for night time parades. And have a way to take along tools for road
repair, chain to pull a dead tractor and extra fuell as somebody usually
runs out of fuell and ends up being pulled to end. A lot to consider. Bost
of the small row crop utilitys and that includes tha Fords, Ferguson Oliver
will have beeter highway steering than a lot of others mentioned. Row crops
with a narrow front will steere better than one with a wide front added on.
