Starting from front. It has the 2 cultavator bolt holes at top of grill, [M has those bolt holes in next section below this one}. Bolster is rounded off all the way around at bottom of grill.This type of bolster discontuined when M D came out in early 1941.The M went with a more flat front bolster below grill and H stayed with rounded bolster to end of run. Lots of people painted the grill white when 450"s came out , to make tractor look more modern. The grill insert has a slight v opening at bottom of grill about 1/8 in.wide in middle at bottom of insert. The starter is on the right side an all M"s were on left side.Look close at gas tank an hood. the M will be about 2 inchs higher than the H. In other words , thicker .H built about 397,000 units ,while M built 298,218. The oil filter is the large type that came on M till about 1941. It then started using the tall filter canister that H had fm. new and H went to a short canister. the MD came out with M"s old big canister and stayed with it to end of production.. MY thought on oil filter is, farmer could have put it on down thru the years. Lots of dirt in Arizona.On the pto, I know from about 1945, that the ingagment rod came straight up instead of at an angle.The first H"s and M"s all had the pto rod hooked to far left platform bolt hole. The tractor here in pictures is an H. Two point can be put on them anytime. Buck

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.
