Tractor Dealer

Starting in 1971, Tractor Dealer plates used a totally new format of D10-000D and used this format through the mid-80s and also followed the same minor yearly formatting changes that were seen on other plates in the dealer series, i.e. the years from '71 to '74 had embossed years while plates for '75 and '76 were undated with validation stickers. Then in 1977 the colors were reversed to blue on yellow and embossed years were used again for '77 and '78. In 1979 plates were undated and continued to be renewed with stickers up to the time when the Farm Equipment Dealer type was introduced in 1991. It should be noted that some time in the mid-80s the A-series New Car Dealer and B-series Used Car Dealer plates were running out of numbers so the D (tractor), E (trailer) and eventually the F series plates were assigned as needed and the letter no longer designated a particular dealer type.
