My parents drove across it last year on a wd45 that I fixed up for them and put a buddy seat on it so they could ride together. They had so much fun participating in the drive and visiting with other tractor enthusiasts. It was amazing to witness the sea of tractors of every color at the staging area. There were 1370 tractors last year. It is very well organized and lots of good folks involved. The drive over the bridge should be on your bucket list if you like cruising with your tractor.

I always wanted to, but not welcome. I was under the impression passengers were not permitted

I am still confident of this;
I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
Wait for the Lord;
be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord. Ps 27

They are but you have to have a buddy seat. You cant ride the drawbar or ride in a trailer or anything like that.
And you have to belong to a club that participates in the ride. Reason for this is your club carries the insurance......Owosso tractor parts, the organizer of the bridge crossing, has to be listed on your clubs insurance.

Huh! Didn't know all that, thank you. Likely changes my answer from maybe in 10 or 15 years, to never.

I did it the first year, hauled two semi loads of tractors up for friends and family, good experience and had the only Allis model A there, can't quite find the enthusiasm to do it again.
