I'll have to do some digging to get you an answer.   Chris Losey (Admin) Posted on Sunday, February 22, 2004 - 11:37 pm:    You wouldn't happen to have a picture that you could email to me, do you? webmaster@olivergang.org if you do.   Chris Losey (Admin) Posted on Sunday, March 7, 2004 - 9:15 pm:    I was looking for something else, and I came across a picture of a plow just like yours. What I have found out so far is, it appears to be an Oliver #7 plow. These plows were made in the 1920's to go with the tractors that Ford was making then. At that time, Oliver didn't have it's own tractor, so they designed this plow to go with the Ford, and even marketed them that way. I couldn't tell you an exact year, as records of serial numbers no longer exist. But Oliver started making them about 1920, and discontinued the #7 when Henry Ford cut back on tractor production. This is what I know so far. A very good site to learn more about the Oliver Plow is http://www.centerforhistory.org and specifically for the Oliver Chilled Plow Works, try http://www.centerforhistory.org/ocpw.html If I come up with more, I'll let you know.
