[AT] Odd rod on a WD Allis?

[charliehill]

John,   I wish the picture posted showed the ends of the rod clearly but I 
don't think it was part of the steering.  I wondered if maybe it was some 
sort of device triggered by the steering to affect something at the rear of 
the tractor but whatever it is, it's nothing I've ever seen on a WD.
