Well now, my cousins Clem and Jake have been drinking a bit lately and unfortunately it will be up to me to set the record straight on this part. It is a GPS cover from a '27 ETD of course, specifically the Stubble Jockey "B" model of that same year. Thirty years later in the fall of '57, the aftermarket came up with this little item as a GPS to get those furrows on Jakes pineapple farm straight as an arrow. Yes sir, believe it or not that GPS hooked up with the Soviet Sputnik satellite launched in the fall of that year and lasted until old Sputnik met an untimely death in the ionosphere some years later. Someone stole that GPS and sold it to Juan Peron of Argentinian fame and from there, the country went downhill. Always wondered what happened to that cover and now I know. Anyways, I will let Clem and Jake know you were thinking about them. Still up there trying to get those darned rows straight on the pineapple farm but have had little success for the last40 years or so.
