The "General" was made by Cletrac or the Cleveland Tractor Company of Cleveland, Ohio (their only venture into the rubber tired market) and was made from about '39-'42 or so. It was the rubber tired version of their HG crawler. In about '42 or so, that rubber-tired version was taken over and built by the B F Avery Company of Louisville, Kentucky and was repainted red and called the model A. The MW referred to the Montgomery Ward chain of department stores who called that Avery A the "Wards Twin Row". Eventually, the BF Avery Company was gobbled up by Minneapolis-Moline in the early 50's. I have written a little history page on those tractors and you can find it here in the left-hand margin under the "articles" section.
