Hello,
Can anybody tell me what years Oliver built the semi mounted 5 bottom pipe plow? And would any of them been painted red for Minneapolis Moline? And what is the model number? Need a book for one but dont know what to look for.
Thanks
Shawn
 
Is this a 5 bottom or a 4 bottom with one bottom added? One of my first assignments when I started for the dealer in the early fall of 1960 was to set up one of the new semi-mounted plows. They were promoted the plow along with the new 18 & 1900 tractors. Plow model was 5540.
 
Its a 4 bottom with the 5th bottom added on. Set up for 5-16", Im going to pull it with a MM G-1000 LPG
 
   Thats a good question since we don't have production records from South Bend plant.  I have a Sales Note dated May 1960 that introduces the 5540 plow and states that it will be available in June.  I also have a Sales Note dated July 23, 1963 introducing the 565 plow that replaced the 5540.  Unless the production overlaped, and I doubt if it did in how popoular the 565 plow was.    The above dates are probably close.
   Since the above dates are prior to the Whidte Motor purchase of MM I doubt that it was built for the Prairie Gold guys.   I have a corrolation chart for the Oliver to MM models and the 5540 is not shown on the chart.

   Remember that the Teleflow hydraulic system in the MM G1000 The draft sensivity is in the upper link if memory serves me correctly.  You will need an adapter if you want draft reaction.
 
You will need a "quick hitch" to hook to the tractor and then hook the plow to the quick hitch. We service 2 G-1000 propane tractors for a guy.
