Ahhh
my bad, I thought we were talking about liciensed/tagged motor vehicles not farm equipt
No a farm tractor does not need a tag but its covered under States farm act and only travels on rural roads but you are required ( in Fla ) to have a slow moving vehicle triangle/reflector on the back or...
I was talking about running lights, and yes they will ticket a tractor for not having a rear plate if their weight class calls for one to be there instead of up front ( varies by State ). For a time in Fla I had to have the plate up front on my fuel truck but the weight class got rewritten and...

just did mine when I swapped trannies.
Like M16ty stated, I also do mine by feel. I've done three in the last 15yrs this way ( 2 fuel trucks and one M-37 ) and they're all still running fine today.
I took the tranny top off and the pto cover, I inserted a screwdriver so I could keep the pto...
