Teeoster said:So my plan would be to put both a license plate and a snowmobile sticker set on it. Here are a few excerpts from the rules?
""Snowmobile" means any motor-driven vehicle designed for travel primarily on snow or ice of a type that utilizes sled-type runners or skis, an endless belt tread, or any combination of these or other similar means of contact with the surface upon which it is operated, but is not a vehicle that must be registered under the Michigan vehicle code, 1949 PA 300, MCL 257.1 to 257.923."
"A snowmobile shall not be operated unless the owner first obtains a certificate of registration, registration decal and an trail permit sticker. The certificate of registration must accompany the snowmobile and be made available for inspection upon demand by a peace officer."
I kind of think the first listing would create somewhat of a gray area for me on the last line?? What do you think?
Here is a link to the complete rule section:

Bill, I have to agree with you on this issue. In Michigan I would register it as a snowmobile.mtntopper said:I would register, license, and operate by all the snowmobile rules and as a snowmobile until they make it illegal or determine otherwise by the law that you are not a snowmobile
B_Skurka said:Eric, welcome to the Forums. Is the "Green Sticker" something that is unique to California?
BTW, did you ever find out any additonal history about your unit? I did send you some contact information a while back for someone at the Tucker Sno-Cat company. Were you able to get any information from them?
Kurt, do you have any idea about out-of-state users who visit Michigan and what the regulations are for tourists? As I live in Indiana near the Michigan border, it would be easy for me to trailer my Snow Trac across the border.kewx said:I discussed this issue on the phone with the Michigan DNR. They said register as a sled and put on a trail sticker.

- Do I have to register my Snow Trac with Michigan to use trails up there?
- And if I stay off the trails, do I have to register it with the Michigan DNR?
- Do you have an address or phone number of someone I would need to contact at the DNR for a registration or out of state premit?
Almost on the Indiana/Illinois state line, about 8 miles south east of Beecher, IL or about 5 miles west of Lowell, INkewx said:Where are you at in Indiana?

interestingly, my '65 Tucker has off highway registration (called a "Green Sticker" here in CA), but has an old and currently unused front license plate bracket that has obviously been there for a long time... It was a Department of Water Resources rig at one time.
