That's an old "MT"; isn't it?
Huge flywheel on the left hand side...
It's too bad that the owner was killed.

On the national news this morning they said the tractor turned over and was hit by the truck. Either way, a tragic accident. There was also another deadly accident at another parade in Oklahoma. An 8 year old boy was run over by the float his father was driving.

Tractor driver killed in Maine Fourth of July parade crash
Published July 04, 2013Associated Press
BANGOR, Maine – Police in Maine say a crash between a tractor and a fire truck during Bangor's Fourth of July parade has left one person dead.
Sgt. Paul Edwards tells WABI-TV that the tractor was hit from behind by an old fire truck Thursday. The driver of the tractor was killed.
The fatal accident happened after the parade was rerouted because of a nearby police standoff with an armed man. Police evacuated an apartment building where a man they described as despondent was holed up and asked parade spectators to stay away from the downtown area.
The man fired about 70 rounds out of a window. He was taken into custody late Thursday morning.
