[AT] AC HD7 crawlers

[charlie hill]

Yeah I blew it up too.  It either is off to the right of the gusset or it 
runs over the blade at an angle.  Hard to tell.  The reason I asked about it 
was because I couldn't come up with any possible use for it.
No matter, if I had the tractor the first thing I would do is remove what 
ever it is.
