I agree with most of these replies, just go out and enjoy plowing with that Oliver.
With all due respect for Dellbert, I never saw a tractor with both rear wheels onland pulling a plow until in the late 1950s or early 1960s, when I saw some big diesel job with a 5-6 bottom plow (which my grandfather could not have imagined ever being invented). For more background to my olden days (I'm 72 yrs young), go to Wis. Hist. Soc. webpage and dig thru the IH pages and you will see an IH employee driving a new H with a 2 bottom #8 and the right rear wheel is in the furrow at the IH test farm near Hinsdale, Illinois. Dellbert, I think you are from Iowa? I was raised in Grundy Co, Iowa, and if you hooked up an H to a 2 bottom, or an M to a 3 bottom, then adjusted the hitch so you could plow that heavy black soil with both rears onland, it would have been fun to watch the driver trying to steer left enough to keep the tractor going straight ahead, and not riding the left brake all day long to help. And...if you look at the owner's manual for setting up the #8 hitch, and you modify it to make it work for online, that plow will follow you like our dog trotted, slightly out of line. However, I have seen pictures of the western boys years ago pulling their plows onland, but I think those plows had disks instead of moldboards (you western guys join in here), and they did not plow as deep (for wheat, barley?)as we did in the midwest for corn and soybeans.
We now have plow days with tractors 1959 and older, and I wouldn't have the nerve to try plowing with both wheels of my H onland...I would be accused of assaulting them...causing injuries from excessive laughter. LA in WI

Today's Featured Article - The Cletrac General GG and the BF Avery A - A Bit of History - by Mike Ballash. This article is a summary of what I have gathered up from various sources on the Gletrac General GG and the B. F. 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.
