[AT] Odd rod on a WD Allis?

[Indiana Robinson]

One of the guys on my Allis Chalmers list posted this question:
---------------------
I found a strange attachment on a WD at the link below and can't
identify it. Would you guys take a look at the rod that seems to
becoming from the vicinity of the draw bar to the top of the front
wheels and tell me what it is.

All I could come up with was maybe some kind of a brace for the final
drive like to a loader bracket etc? I cannot tell if there is one on
both sides. I have never seen one before.
