thankyou both caterpillar guy and danofarming for your replies. That got my dad to chuckle quite a bit. The ugly welds on the drawbar occured in the 1930s when the L was used to pull a breaking plow to clear land. The Case was driven in second gear and would routinely get caught on stumps and brush. Plowing is much faster then digging, pulling or blasting small stumps out. So the tractor was driven wide open in second gear to keep up inertia and momentum for plowing under oak, maple, ash, alder, and fir tree stumps. the rule of thumb was that the Case could turn under any stump of 4 inches or less. Many times, stumps would require multiple attempts at the same stump, but many acres were turned under in amazing speed compared to years of grazing, burning, pulling, and turning hogs out into the fields to root out the stumps. Just keep ramming them with the poor L and keep welding er back up. The breaking plow was also the reason to the higher hitch point welded onto the rear channel iron, both for more clearance under plow hitch and also for more traction on the 28 rear tires with concrete poured to fill in the wheel spokes.
