Tx: Rusty has your answer, those bolts had wires with a lead seal through them when tractor was new. It was designed so manufacturer knew if there was any tampering with engine rpm while tractor was under warrenty. I remember my dad using them to deter a wrench and screwdriver happy employee. This guy had worked next door, on a farm where owner was away a lot. Almost weekly we'd see the owner towing him on tractor off to the repair shop. About 10 am soon as shop got it running right, he'd drive back past on tractor. He even stopped one day and asked my dad for a wrench on his way home. He said, " Them guys down at Bentley's haven't got this set right." After the poor old guy couldn't afford to farm anymore, our friend came to my dad looking for a job. Dad gave him a job but told him if he ever caught him tampering with timing, governor or carburator on a tractor, he'd wack him on the fingers with a hammer. Some folks just shouldn't be allowed to have tools.
