You have to right click on the picture you want to post, then click on properties, then copy the address (URL). Then hit the Img button, paste the address Url, then hit the Img button again.
Right click on one of these pictures to see what the address (Url) should be like between the img.

But you should make sure that the image you upload to your picture host site is something like 800 pixels wide x lets say 600 pixels so the pictures won't be so big that you need a "jumbo-tron" monitor to see the whole picture (so the picture will show up like this).

The piece bolted to the front axle helps protect the grill/radiator (although some of it was cut off) when working around trees.

Hello Greg
Looks to me as if the plate will rotate forward and up to the vertical position, to provide protection to the chin on the front grill.
They generally get trashed in service - yours is still intact!

Very interesting, I'll have to go out and try it.
Seems as though the bolts are snugged down, but I do see how the round metal moving a little would allow for it to go over the iron sticking out, to secure it.
In the Pacific Northwest, we have, of course, lots of trees... makes sense...
Thanks!

This, combined with PTFarmer, gives me a thought that we are narrowing down the 'mystery' front piece!
While I wish it was a quick attach system, the plate sounds a bit more realistic.
Thanks Jack in NB!
[i:ae083ae335]Side note: if all is well after installing a new battery, I may consider a loader for this antique. (Although people have told me, I'm better off going with a machine designed for a loader. (Selling this and getting a tractor with a loader).
[b:ae083ae335]Anyone here install a loader on a TO-35?[/b:ae083ae335][/i:ae083ae335]

You can put a loader on it, but the problem is that most people then try to use the tractor like its a D10 Caterpillar. So it depends on what you use the loader for. For constant heavy jobs no, for light weight jobs it would be fine.
