It looks like a 16" wheel in picture so a 6:00 or 6:50 x 16" tire would have been normal and with used car tires mounted at the time it was new. The spokes to rim say it came from factory on rubber and is not a wheel changed from steel to rubber, if that would have been then any size wheel and tire laying in junk pile could have been pit on. That is on the land wheel, the furrow wheel might have been a 5:50x16 as that was also a common car size tire when plow was new or if bought with new implement tires a 5:00 on furrow and 6:00 on land wheel. My 3 bottom had the 5:00 on furrow wheel and land wheel was a 4:50x21" tire. If tire sliding then you have problems in the clutch making it lock up or someplace in frame-lift mechanisem binding you. Some plows have different settings on lift arm for deeper or shallower lifting and it could be set for deeper plowing if it hardly clears te ground.I cannot tell from picture if the back end of plow a furrow tail wheel carries the plow when out of ground or not but on some that is adjustable and plow should ride level when out of ground. If that was factory rubber it would have been a 3:50x12" tapered tire but a 4:80x12" used well trailer tire works good. Now if it does not have the wheel to carry the back end then there would be a connecting link from hitch to frame to lift and carry the back end of plow. And that can be verry hard to get set correctly as that all depends on height of tractor drawbar to depth you are trying to plow, and setting of hitch plates on frame that holds the drawbar, usually at least 3 different settings avaible ther with possibly up to 5 different positions. I had a Moline 3 bottom clutch lift for a time back in the 60's so do not remember a lot of the details how it was made but on any 3 bottom or larger they have to have the tail wheel to carry the back end of plow when out of ground. And in my ground the R would not pull that plow. What size rear tires do you have as I have seen the R with 34", 36" and 38" rear wheels, I think with the larger wheels the drawbar would also be higher off the ground so make a difference in hitching.

Today's Featured Article - Gatherin of the Orange - by Rick Nikolich. In July of 1998 I was talking to fellow Allis Chalmers collector Mike Schilling about the annual "Gathering of The Orange" AC show coming up in August of 1999. He got this wild idea that we should get a convoy of AC tractors and drive them from Charlotte, Michigan 105 miles to LaGrange, Indiana.
