The P & O stands for Porter & Ornfield I believe. The plows were made at the IHC Canton plant. I used to order/expedite parts from that plant to the FARMALL tractor plant in Rock Island IL. I drove down to Canton one Sunday to look over the plant. (To see why I couldn't get parts actually) and the plant was old and Rustic. About a block south of downtown Canton. Building still had P & O Plow works painted on the front wall. Most of the plant has been taken down now. I belive there were pictures printed in Red Power Magazine of the plant about 6 mo. ago. Friend I worked with at FARMALL had worked at the Canton plant. His Dad was Capatin of the Plant Guard. I guess back in the ate 40's and 50's that plant used to use & ship as much iron & steel as anyother IHC plant in existance. Got their steel in off the ILL river by barge. Had a 20 acre steel yard outside of town to store raw material in. In about 1979 & 1980 IH transfered a bunch of components for the FARMALL tractors from the East Moline plant to Cantor. Things like battery boxes & Cab steps. Canton Also started making the front 2X2 weldments complete instead of just making the component parts.
