I think it was either 18 or 19. And yes were an odd tractor but actually made sence. For plowing you took the back sreering axle out from under and walked the tractor over to the plow using only 2 wheels and set it on to the plow and you had a intregated unit, for disk you did the same and even the grain binder, not sure how many implements were made for that. What proved the downfall of that style of tractor was that the rear axle was light and with them pivioting in the middle if you hooked them to a horse drawn disk you could not make a turn with them, the tractor would go into turn mode but the light back end would just slide making the tractor wanting to keep on going straight. That is what my Grandpa found out when his about dumped him into a creek. He traded that Moline Universal on a Mogal then followed up trading that on a 35 B John Deere and when it was time for him to get anouther tractor traded that B on a 37 G and in 41 bought anouthe B for a second tractor and it was his last tractor as he passed away when I was one month old in 1943. And I do have the orignal owners manual around here someplace for that Moline Universal. The tipping problem was taken care of by filling the spoke area of the wheel with concrete for weight. It pulled a 2 bottom plow.
