[Farmall] [AT] Farmall Super M, Stage II, question down in the weeds

[Roberto Rivero]

 the British B-450 standard ( no row crop version) has the same holes and
they are to fix the  batery box.  Of course may be  the holes were there
 for other purpose in older tractors.  In my B-450 Row crop wich frame is
very similar to a SM i used that holes to mount a big step usefull for
filling the diesel oil tank .
