This plow guide was made by the International Harvester Company of Chicago, Illinois. Described as a "special steering device," the plow guide was used on tractors such as the Mogul or Titan to help the driver with steering. In theory, the plow guide, which was attached to the right side of the front axle, rolled inside the furrow, keeping the tractor moving straight ahead. If all went as planned, the driver of the tractor could get off the tractor and make adjustments to the plows being pulled behind. This plow guide is painted the same colors as the 1910 Mogul here in Stuhr Museum's exhibit, and it could have been attached to the right side of its front axle.
