Hugh; a good friend of mines wife was plowing with one of their Ms one day. She had the rope tied around her wrist as she dropped it several times and had to stop to pick it back up and fish it out of the dirt she just turned, Well, she hit what was left of an old stump with the plow and she just barely managed to get her toe on the clutch as she was starting to get pulled off the seat. Stretched her out like on a "medival rack". She was very lucky! Talked to several people who did get pulled off the tractor and have seen several old #8 plows with welded up or bent over trip levers from when they had a good rope tied to the seat or something else solid. When I plowed with my #8 and the 10-20, There was a pully mounted on the fender on the left side. I used that but didn't tie a knot in the rope. When I plowed a small garden here in town one day with the F-12, I just sat on the rope tucked at the back of the seat, but was careful how I had it strung, didn't want to snag anything important if it flew out!

Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
