I poured new motor oil in the exhaust pipe of a B one time and ended up with the engine in hydraulic lock (my excuse is that I had spent hours getting an old oil seal ring out of the filter canister . . . I was tired). I started taking out the plugs one at a time until the motor would turn over. The crank was too slow to get the last of the oil out so I decided since it was turning over I could use the starter . . . with the switch on. It cranked right up on two cylinders and blew oil out of the exhaust pipe and the plug holes. It got the dog with flaming oil and set the pool of oil on fire under the tractor along with the old towel I was using to mop it up. You would know that my sweet wife and my mischievous son would just happen to be walking up to see it all and . . . never let me forget. That dog never did trust me again. The dog was not hurt and the tractor did not burn and my pickup did clean up fine with no scorch marks. Last time I looked you could not see the oil stains on the brick retaining wall and it only took a few years for it to clean up. I had to explain to my wife that I needed to be that close to the house to work in the afternoon shade and I would try to scrub the oil up from the parking area along with the smut from burning oil. I think that is all gone now and Simple Green did a fair job.

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