just recently bought a handful of New Hampshire doodle bug registrations.....

had no idea such a thing existed! a few A's and even one model B

if you had a doodle bug- AKA cut down ford into a homemade tractor, why would you need or want a registration (in NH terms- a title?)

I would think a bill of sale would suffice.

New Hampshire now has no title requirement for cars from before 1999.

New Hampshire now has no inspection/emission requirement for cars older than 60 years.

New Hampshire DOES require a Registration/Plate either the standard "Antique" Plate or if the vehicle is over 25 years old, it can be an original plate for the Model Year of the vehicle.

The current complete list of NH Registration/Plate types is found at https://www.dmv.nh.gov/sites/g/files...ates-table.pdf. I don't see "doodlebug" as a category, but there are several classifications under which a doodlebug could be placed.

thanks for all of the info Joe. I was just surprised anyone would "register" a doodle bug- thats all.

why not go carts and wheel barrows? lol

They're really just tractor registrations.Nobody cared what name anybody put on them,the price of the registration was the same for a $25.doodlebug as for a $10,000 tractor.No value based tax.We have to register them if used on the road.In 1984 my boss bought a new $180.000 Cat loader and he had to pay the same $7.to register it as I did for my 1958 Massey Ferguson.
