I got all My old tire books from FARMALL....They all say '54. So We're Right! Interesting comments You made about the ground up Your way, frost and compaction. Dad was the first to dual-up His old M's around Home in the early 60's. He even made clamp-on duals for the Super H He planted corn with. After We plowed in the spring We never drove on the ground again without duals except to cultivate, spray or pick corn. Everything got cultivated twice, spraying wasn't a normal practice and You can't run duals on a picker! Manure got spread in the winter when the ground was frozen, or on hay ground or hog pasture in the late summer. Back on the SM-TA tire subject, I never ever saw an M-TA with 11X38's (12.4X38) but I expect IH would build them that way. You look in the parts books and they had a LOT of odd-ball tire/wheel options. In the late 70's & early 80's they said FARMALL could build 1086's for two years and never ever build any two alike just by mixing/matching tire/wheel equipment. Mixing brands, plys, sizes and tread designs. I remember the time a keypunch person mis-typed an attachment code for some 1586's at FARMALL.... they all got 14Lx16.1's on the front and 15.5X38's on the back, We even had a special rim that You could really do that! Talk about a tractor heading up hill all the time!

Avery model A tractors. I am quite sure that most of it is accurate. The General GG was made by the Cleveland Tractor Company (Cletrac) of Cleveland, Ohio. Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
