I found this 3 bottom plow in my old machine shed. The only lettering faintly visible is the word "Plowmaster". Can anyone identify this for me?

It's a Oliver HD series built in the late 40's and early 50's.

Thanks. I have never seen one with a hydraulic cylinder on it. Was that common?
I just assumed this one was missing parts.

Big questions remaining are:
[list:e076ad6fa2]Is there a manual available someplace? I have no idea how to operate the plow.
Is there a special cylinder required for this?
Tires are shot. Going by what is on it now, I assume any 6.00 (or 6.50)-16 tire will do and a 4.00-12 for the rear? Or is there a preferred tire? I might try it out a few times but it will get parade service mostly.
Would it have been painted all green? I see some red ones on the internet also.[/list:u:e076ad6fa2]
Its going to get a restoration if I get it all figured out. It was my grandfather's and used behind his first Oliver long ago.

Floyd county museum will have a book for it. Any standard 8
inch stroke implement cylinder will work fine. A 6.00-16 multi
rib implement will be fine and it should have a 4.00-12 angled
plow tire on the back. That one looks like it was originally a
red frame plow with green wheels and yellow lettering.

Thank you for the info.
Question on the cylinder. Does it need to be single acting or anything special? I confess my ignorance of how this plow works. What happens if you hit a rock. wont the cylinder keep the shares down and incur damage?
It has a break away hitch. If the plow hits a rock hard enough
the whole thing breaks away from the tractor. You need to pull
it off a D-ring that bolts to the tractor drawbar. Do NOT use a
twist clevis, it will mess the plow hitch up. If you?re tractor has
2 way hydraulics use a double acting cylinder. Picture of a
factory Oliver D-ring.
