This is very interesting as my Dad in about 1958 teamed his Oliver 88 and a 77 together and tried them out on his Oliver 5/14" plow. His set up was primative compared to the DD unit.The 7 front sat on an I beam which was attached to the 77 drawbar ,the front of the I beam had a hitch attached which sat on the 88 drawbar.The clutch had a manual type rod to engage and disengage the 77 clutch and the throttle likewise had a rod/handle to operate the throttle.Lots of fine tuning went into this unit but as it ran away with the 5 bottom and he could not find a 7 bottom plow at that time to borrow[he would not buy one just to see if the unit could pull the plow], he gave up on the idea as the Super 99 the 5 bottom plow was used with could pull the plow and use less gas than the 88 and 77 coupled did.It was a challenge for him to turn at the end of the land what with all the controls to operate.At least he tried as my mom would say,always supportive.
