Best guesses are welcome too. 1st pic is on the left front of a SMD. That's probably about a 3/8" thick plate with about a 1" thick reinforcement welded onto it at the attaching bolts. 2nd pic is on the upper steering post. Maybe an umbrella bracket? 3rd pic is on one of the fenders, no clue if it was the right or the left. 4th pic is on a SMTA. I figure it's probably an umbrella clamp. Is it IH or aftermarket?

It hasn't been mounted on a tractor in nearly 30 years, and dad thinks it's never been mounted on this tractor, so who knows why the bracket is on this tractor. The answers for pictures 1, 2 and 4 make perfect sense. There weren't many heat housers around these parts but dad remembers the seller saying this was a northern tractor back when he bought it in the early eighties, so I'm sure that fits the evidence. formerly ny bill was very specific with his ID of picture 3. Only one fender has this bracket, though. I guess fenders could have been swapped around from tractor to tractor way back when. [Reply]  [No Email]

Picture 2 looks to be used with a Heat Houser. Picture #4 is an umbrella bracket,should be stamped with "H-M Products Co." No idea of that fender bracket piece,but I've seem many similar innovations.
