MPH 12 Posted February 2, 2006 Anybody have a clue what this pair of rods may have been bolted to the sides for. Have what looks like matching orange paint left on the part that was bolted against the frame, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mbrook 0 Posted February 3, 2006 Maybe the prior owner was very tall, and needed more leg room. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

comet66 0 Posted February 3, 2006 quote:Originally posted by RayS curb feelers?:D That was my first thought to Ray. I'm afraid we might be dating ourselves. Maybe the PO was short and couldn't see over the hood so he needed corner markers.;);) Lot of help we are huh?:D:D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HubbardRA 19 Posted February 3, 2006 Front fender brackets? (Didn't want to tell anybody that I was old enough to have driven a car with curb feelers) By Crackie! That was back in the days when you had to parallel park to pass a driver's test. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HubbardRA 19 Posted February 5, 2006 OK, I have a guess. I think the previous owner carried a long rope around to pull things with. He draped it over those rods and around the front of the tractor. How's that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
D-17_Dave 12 Posted February 5, 2006 It's just occured to me that since this tractor is at Marty's, then someone may have draped something over the engine to help capture some heat. Since Marty claims it's cold up there sometimes.lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
