I can remember in the 1940's my father had an Oliver spreader, tractor drawn, yellow, said Oliver Superior on the side. It was all metal, can't say the size of tires but they were bigger than a car or small truck tire. It had the "goofy" hitch with the rod on the pin. It had a trip mechanism when you pulled the rope and back-up with a jerk it would lower the stand to the ground to support the front of the spreader. pull the pin with the rod and drive away. Reverse the operation to hook up and away you went. Traded for a PTO spreader in the 50's because the ground driven wheels would slide on slick or muddy ground during unloading a heavy load. I believe there was one advertised in Photo Ads sometime this summer that resembled my Dad's.
